In 2025, safety and trust are no longer optional on college campuses. They are foundational.
At KENTECH, we believe that every student, educator, and staff member deserves to work and learn in an environment where hiring is done right—with integrity, speed, and full transparency. That’s why we’re proud to announce our membership in the New Jersey Council of County Colleges (NJCCC).
This partnership represents more than affiliation. It’s a shared mission: to help New Jersey’s community colleges protect what matters most while building the workforce of the future.
What Is NJCCC and Why It Matters
The New Jersey Council of County Colleges is the statewide voice for the state’s 18 community colleges. It plays a central role in connecting higher education with workforce development, economic mobility, and public trust.
Every year, NJCCC member colleges serve over 300,000 students. These institutions train tomorrow’s nurses, public safety officers, entrepreneurs, and essential workers. And with that scale and impact comes responsibility—not just to educate, but to hire and protect with care.
What KENTECH Brings to the Table
As a licensed private detective agency and background screening technology firm, KENTECH brings a unique combination of investigative expertise, digital compliance tools, and education-specific workflows to the NJCCC ecosystem.
Our goal? Help colleges:
- Screen faster with centralized digital tools
- Remain compliant with FERPA, FCRA, and I-9 laws
- Onboard adjuncts, staff, and volunteers without delays
- Prevent risk through better data, not more guesswork
- Maintain trust through audit-ready, transparent records
Whether it’s a part-time tutor or a full-time dean, every hire matters. KENTECH helps colleges make those decisions confidently.
Why Now?
Community colleges face growing challenges:
- Tight budgets but growing staffing needs
- Heightened scrutiny around campus safety and compliance
- Workforce alignment pressure from state and federal programs
- Rapid onboarding for short-term or high-turnover roles
In this context, background screening isn’t red tape. It’s risk management. And when done well, it becomes a strategic advantage—not just a legal requirement.
Moving Forward with NJCCC
We see our partnership with NJCCC as a chance to support not just safety—but momentum. The ability to hire fast, hire smart, and hire without compromise gives community colleges the freedom to focus on what they do best: education, equity, and opportunity.
This work is bigger than background checks. It’s about ensuring that New Jersey’s campuses remain safe, trusted, and future-ready.
If you’re part of a community college HR, compliance, or operations team, we’re here to help you do more—with less stress and more certainty.
