About UsABOUT US
Do you strive to make a difference in higher education? Are you looking for a rewarding career opportunity to be a part of our students' educational success and lifelong learning? If so, we invite you to join North Orange County Community College District. We are proud to enroll over 60,000 students and serve a population of over one million people, annually!

Disability Support Services (DSS) provides support to adult students with disabilities so they can successfully transition to, participate in, and complete their postsecondary education at NOCE, as well as transition to competitive, integrated employment. Educational Coaching is a key service offered across multiple NOCE programs to support students with disabilities in achieving academic and personal success. Unlike traditional tutoring, which focuses primarily on helping students understand course content, Educational Coaching emphasizes skill-building and personal development. Educational Coaches work collaboratively with students to strengthen executive functioning skills such as time management, organization, goal setting, and problem-solving. Coaching supports students in becoming more independent learners by fostering self-advocacy and helping them develop strategies to manage their educational responsibilities.
