How Community Colleges Meet Colorado's Workforce Needs HOW COMMUNITY COLLEGES MEET COLORADO’S WORKFORCE NEEDS A Report Submitted to: David Skaggs Executive Director Colorado Department of Higher Education March 2007 By: Nancy J. McCallin, Ph.D System President Colorado Community College System Dr. Nancy J. McCallin, President March 8, 2007 The Honorable David Skaggs Executive Director Colorado Department of Higher Education 1380 Lawrence Street, Suite 1200 Denver, CO 80204 RE: Colorado Community College System Workforce Training Dear David: As President of the Colorado Community College System I would like to thank you for the opportunity to highlight how our colleges are addressing the workforce needs of business and industry in Colorado. We are committed partners in helping Governor Ritter fulfill the Colorado Promise – “… a promise to our children and grandchildren that we will leave them a better Colorado.” Colorado’s Community Colleges provide all Coloradans with the opportunity to gain skills and pathways to successful career opportunities. Over the coming decade, Colorado will experience tremendous growth in several career areas that require workers to have more advanced technical skills and some postsecondary education. In fact, the fastest growing occupations require some postsecondary training but less than a bachelor’s degree. Colorado’s community colleges are poised to respond to these significant challenges that will ensure a strong workforce and prepare students for high- demand, high-skill jobs that are the first step on the pathway to high-wage careers. Our colleges serve business and industry needs through career and technical education programs, the Workforce Investment Act, non-credit courses tailored to industry needs, customized training, and transfer programs. In total, Community Colleges had 614 separate workforce programs that served 40,960 Coloradans last year alone. Colorado’s Community Colleges career and technical programs served 17,363 postsecondary and 42,777 high school students in 2006. Many of our career and technical education programs enroll students in high demand fields, including healthcare and science-, technology-, engineering-, and math-related fields – the so-called STEM fields. Our non-credit workforce programs and courses provide training to upgrade skills of those employed and those seeking employment. These courses and programs are offered in response to company and employee skill requirements. Customized training is another option offered to industry. Training, often on-site, is provided to incumbent workers in the context of the company’s specific needs. 9101 East Lowry Boulevard, Denver, CO 80230-6011 y Tel 303.595.1552 y Fax 303.620.4043 y www.cccs.edu Finally, Colorado Community Colleges serve industry needs through our partnerships with four-year institutions in the high demand job areas that require a baccalaureate or beyond. For example, some of our colleges have established articulated agreements with certain four-year institutions in areas of aerospace and bioscience. These programs are in direct alignment with the needs identified in the recent metro Denver WIRED initiative. In 2005, we transferred 4,728 students to Colorado four-year institutions, 4.1% of our total enrollment. Colorado’s Community Colleges are adaptive and responsive to industry needs in many formats. Given the close relationship and collaboration with Colorado businesses, we are in a unique position to prepare workers for the high demand careers and skill sets of tomorrow. In this packet, you will first find a summary discussion of the six ways in which Community Colleges meet business and workforce needs and the obstacles they face, followed by short fact sheets on each of these topics. Finally, there is a section for each of our thirteen colleges that highlights each college’s specific work force programs. Please feel free to contact me for additional information at (303) 595-1552. Sincerely, Dr. Nancy J. McCallin President 9101 East Lowry Boulevard, Denver, CO 80230-6011 y Tel 303.595.1552 y Fax 303.620.4043 y www.cccs.edu Colorado Community College System Fast Facts WORKFORCE TRAINING Colorado’s Community Colleges serve the needs of business and industry in many capacities. As the gateway to higher education, community colleges are positioned to help emerging workers and underemployed adults start on a career pathway towards livable wages. Our colleges offer high demand career and technical education programs, relevant workforce-related non-credit programs and courses, customized training for companies, and articulated transfer programs with four year institutions. Career and Technical Education (Pages 5-8) Colorado Community College System colleges offer 366 career and technical education (CTE) programs designed in concert with industry advisory committees. On average, Colorado’s Community Colleges graduate more than 8,000 students per year in these programs. In total, there were 17,363 CTE students in our system in 2006. Table 1 on page 4 provides more specific details. These career and technical programs include preparation for high demand careers including healthcare, aviation technology, automotive technology, civil drafting, and engineering technology, among others. Of those students who complete these CTE programs, generally 80% are then employed. Colorado’s Community Colleges also provide unique signature programs including such diverse fields of study as aquaculture technology, interpreter preparation, mortuary science, horse training management, and gun smithing to provide a wide array of opportunities for our students and to meet industry demands. Workforce Investment Act (Pages 9-11) The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) provides the framework for work place preparation and an employment system designed to meet both the needs of business and of job seekers. WIA is administered by the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment (CDLE). Currently, staff of the Colorado Workforce Development Council located in the Colorado Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) and CDLE jointly write the state workforce plan. Local Workforce Investment Boards (WIBs) oversee the WIA programs throughout the state. The WIBs make critical decisions that impact employment and training goals in their respective regions. Last year, Community Colleges trained 891 workers through the WIA program. We believe we can do more. Colorado’s Community Colleges are uniquely positioned to more closely coordinate publicly funded education, from the primary through post- secondary levels, with social services and workforce/development programs. The aim is to produce a better-trained workforce and promote economic growth. Updated March 2007 WORKFORCE SUMMARY page 1 of 16 Colorado Community College System Fast Facts Non-Credit Workforce Programs (Page 12) Non-credit programs and courses offer opportunities for job-seekers and incumbent workers to enhance their employment skills. Our colleges offer more than 100 non-credit workforce-related programs and many more courses not associated with an official program (Table 1). We have over 11,000 students enrolled in these courses annually to obtain skills in areas such as project management, Microsoft Office software, basic programming, process improvement, nursing refresher, and medical transcription. In addition, our colleges provide regulatory training for employees such as OSHA-mandated training. Customized Training (Page 13) While non-credit courses serve to provide general skills in a subject, many companies need their incumbent workers to learn very specific skills with respect to their industry and company. Our colleges serve over 100 Colorado companies per year by providing customized training to their employees, often at the company site. In the most recent years, between 7,000 and 11,000 individuals have been trained annually in industry and company-specific skills (Table 1). Examples of such training included computer skills, Spanish language lessons, and supervisory training in the context of the specific industry. This type of training can be more valuable than general training for many companies. Finally, in this new age of increased global competition, our colleges work with companies in implementing lean business processes for their specific situation, which is crucial in the ability to keep jobs and companies in Colorado. Colorado First and Existing Industries (Page 14-15) A piece of customized training is the Colorado First and Existing Industries Program. This state-funded program provides grants for training through the community colleges for companies relocating here or for existing companies at risk because of technological change and or global competition. In FY 2006, this program provided training to more than 6,000 employees for 101 companies. Transfer (Page 16) Colorado’s Community Colleges provide a significant number of transfer students to four-year institutions and prepare those students well to succeed at the four-year colleges and universities. In Academic Year 2005, nearly 5,000 students transferred from our colleges to Colorado public four-year institutions. It is estimated that 15% of our students intend to transfer their credits to a four-year college. Often, community colleges afford students an opportunity to “try out” college in a local, non-intimidating environment before making a larger commitment, including perhaps relocation, to attend a university. Our colleges serve to feed the baccalaureate pipeline by providing these Updated March 2007 WORKFORCE SUMMARY page 2 of 16 Colorado Community College

    Colorado Department of Personnel & Administration State of Colorado Bill Owens Governor Jeffrey M. Wells DDPPAA Executive Director Department of Personnel Paul Farley & Administration De puty Executive Director Division of Human Resources State Risk Management David Kaye 1313 Sherman St., Suite 114 Division Director Denver, Colorado 80203 Phone (303) 866‐3848 Fax (303) 894‐2409 www.colorado.gov/dpa The State Office of Risk Management provides a diverse array of risk management services, focusing on minimizing losses through a combination of preventive training, education, consultation and insurance programs. INTRODUCTION The State Office of Risk Management (SRM) protects the State’s assets by proactively managing and limiting risk. SRM administers the Property, Liability and Workers’ Compensation insurance programs for the State of Colorado through aggressive loss control, claim intervention, claim management, provider oversight and policy management. The 2006 Annual State Risk Management Report is a comprehensive review of SRM activities and programs provided to participating departments and institutions of higher education (departments). This report includes claim activity comparison across departments for the “big picture” view of risk management across the state. Claim data used to prepare this report are from fiscal year 2006 (FY06). ACCOMPLISHMENTS With the hiring of two new loss control staff members SRM increased its’ training output by two-thirds. During FY06 SRM experienced a dramatic increase in ergonomic evaluation requests. Ergonomic evaluations provide departments and employees with hands-on workstation adjustment and individual education needed to help employees work safer. This helps reduce the costs and damages of repetitive motion and cumulative trauma injuries. SRM loss control staff provided 216 individual ergonomic evaluations during FY06 for departments throughout the state, in addition to 127 evaluations performed by Pinnacol Assurance loss control staff.
