Juneteenth Holiday Observed June 20

Hiring the Best Training

Any employee who wants to serve on a hiring or interview committee must complete Hiring the Best training through the district office or one of our campuses. There are two online training opportunities this summer: Wednesday, June 15 and Friday, June 24, 9:00 am to 12:00 pm both days. For more information and to register in advance, visit the Hiring the Best training website.

New IT Web Portal Coming Soon!

To better serve students and employees, college and district IT teams have been collaborating on a new web portal to support IT needs in one online location. The district and all four colleges will share a common platform to handle issues ranging from equipment requests and device support to software and network drive access. Called Service Central, the goals of the new portal are to:

Simplify how you get support from IT
Allow you to see what's happening with your request online
Provide you with faster responses to issues and requests
Provide a host of other capabilities that will improve support districtwide

All Los Rios IT will be trained to receive and manage customer requests in Service Central to provide greater transparency and efficiency. The anticipated go-live date is this summer. Be on the lookout for additional announcements as we get closer to launch or visit our Service Central page for the most up-to-date information.
