  11. Public/Private PartnershipNSCC/General Electric/WIB Model • NEED = GE recognizes employee development needs and outreaches to NSCC • RESPONSE = NSCC and WIB collaborate with GE to assess its need, analyze industry-wide needs, and develop solutions • IMPLEMENTATION = NSCC/GE/WIB establish a working group to: • identify target job needs and competencies • develop curriculum • common core courses • on-the job training • create timeline • establish Memorandum of Understanding • recruit, admit and hire • RESULT = 20 students from GE begin Manufacturing Technology Certificate Program in March 2011. All received intent to hire letter from GE.

  12. What Are The Challenges In Massachusetts? • No well articulated state-wide system for aligning workforce needs with Community College providers. • No State funding for development and implementation of credit and non-credit workforce programs • State does not designate community colleges as vendor of choice or preferred provider for training • Need for greater development and acceptance of competency-based learning for awarding credit • Need for accelerated state-level credit program approval process • Workforce and training programs not eligible for student aid and multiple funding streams (Pell, WIA, TANF) not coordinated to serve students, unemployed, incumbent workers • Need for improved collaboration among colleges, WIB’s and business/industry

  13. State Models That Meet The Challenges North Carolina: centralized system and base allotment to each community college to support business and industry services; community colleges are preferred provider for workforce training; grants to colleges to support customized, sector-focused, and emerging/expanding industries training. Oregon: state-wide center for community colleges, WIB’s, and State Employment Board; funding provided for remedial skills, for state-wide “Career Readiness Certificate;” grants to community colleges to develop high demand programs responsive to labor market data. Kentucky: state-wide development of broad based career pathways across the community college system; gap assessment and alignment of ABE and ESOL transitions to post-secondary; financial aid for adult learners; reallocation of incentives to business to fund workforce education.

  14. Recommendations:A Shared Vision for Massachusetts • Provide state leadership to develop a community college system with the operational framework to support workforce development regionally and locally • Establish a flexible career pathways system driven by industry needs that bridges transitions between training and education directly linked to economic development and job creation • Work creatively to align ABE, ESOL, and GED programming directly with community colleges remedial and transitional programs • Promote state funding to support credit and non-credit workforce education and designate community colleges as preferred providers for training • Ensure access to post-secondary education for all learners with blended financial aid

  15. Massachusetts Taking the Lead: TAACCCT Grant 15 community colleges are working together on US Dept. of Labor grant to unify workforce development programs and strategies across the state. Expand capacity: • Coordinating efforts to develop and deliver accelerated learning • Mapping career pathways, developing industry credentials, and delivering modular curricula and training options in high demand industries Create systemic change: • Aligning curriculum and resources to facilitate student transitions from ABE, ESOL to developmental/remedial, and credential/credit bearing programs • Enhancing student supports to improve retention and completion

  16. Next steps: “Getting Ahead, Staying Ahead”* • Convene a task force of community college presidents and business/industry leaders to develop recommendations for a cohesive, integrated state-wide system to prepare adults for employment • Develop a planning process and funding to strategically implement recommendations • Identify matching state funds to pilot a state system workforce development model based on implementation of the TAACCCT grant (Federal DOL funds) • Work with community colleges to define and establish a sustainable career pathways system across colleges, agencies, and business/industry • Provide for DOE review of state ABE, GED, and ESOL to enhance alignments and transitions to credit/non-credit programs *Bill Green, CEO, Accenture, Springboard Project
