PeopleSoft Developer

Job Title: Senior PeopleSoft Technical Developer
Location: Illinois (Remote)
Duration: 65 weeks with possible extension

Overview:

• City Colleges of Chicago (CCC) is seeking a Senior PeopleSoft Technical Developer from its pool of staff augmentation vendors to design, build, test, and deploy a set of student planning tools as upgrades to CCC's PeopleSoft Campus Solutions 9 (CS9) environment.
• The work covers three tools: a degree planner, a student schedule builder, and enhancements to the student selfservice portal.
• These tools will serve students, advisors, and faculty across all seven City Colleges and their satellite sites.
• This work is part of Project SAILS (Student Access, Intention, Learning, and Success), funded by a U.S. Department of Education Strengthening Institutions Program (SIP) grant awarded to Richard J. Daley College on behalf of CCC.
• SAILS has two goals: (1) mandatory holistic advising for firsttime students, so every new student meets with an advisor, declares a program, and leaves with a semester plan; and (2) strategic yearlong course scheduling, so colleges plan course offerings for a full academic year based on what students need.
• The tools in this scope are the technology foundation for both goals.
• They give students a clear path to completion, give advisors a shared view of that path, and give the district reliable data on which courses students need and when.
• The selected developer will join the SAILS project team led by the SAILS Project Manager, work closely with CCC's Academic Systems department, and build within CCC's existing PeopleSoft environment.
• CCC expects a modern, intuitive, mobile-friendly experience that students will choose to use, built with upgrade-safe methods that CCC staff can maintain after the engagement ends.
