Statistical Data Reports
A good leader uses
data-driven evidence and proven practices
from internal and external stakeholders to
solve problems, make decisions, and plan strategically.
NCCCS Data Initiative
Objectives and Desired Outcomes (excerpts)

Expand the individual and collective inquisitiveness of stakeholders within the NC Community
College System to ask research questions that inform decisions and policies.

Incorporate a data review process that ensures accountability through the validation of
submitted data.

Expand information accessibility by making all data users aware of the availability of
predefined reports, web-based dashboards, statistical software, and training.

Utilize research findings and reports to educate policy makers on the extent to which various
factors impact outcomes, including student enrollment, student learning, student completion,
faculty and staff development, budget allocation, etc.

Comprehensive Program Analysis
 A comprehensive statistical program analysis provides a college with indepth information about their FTE and enrollment trends over a three-year
period.
 The report uses 20+ statistical data profiles to highlight trends in
enrollment, FTE, and local workforce data; a summary of findings that
outlines program strengths and areas of concern; and final
recommendations in five areas: program development, course
development, student development, administration, and workforce
development participation.
 Each report usually requires 30-40 hours of preparation.

Continuing Education Tier 2 Course List
Instructional FTE allocations are calculated on a
tiered-funding basis.
Handout
 Tier 1 includes curriculum budget FTE in high
cost areas of health care, technical education,
lab-based science, and college-level math
courses.
 Tier 2 includes a) all other curriculum budget
FTE, b) all Basic Skills budget FTE, and c) budget
FTE associated with continuing education (OE)
courses that are scheduled for 96 hours or more

the process of getting updates of the WorkKeys Profiler and Employers.

We are taking part in ACT's Work Ready Communities Academy to
determine how NC will engage our communities (or counties) in this
endeavor.

Accountability / Quality Assurance
Educational institutions are shifting to meet demands for greater accountability
and the capability to demonstrate measurable outcomes.
In an effort to lead this culture shift to authenticate rigor, relevancy and
results, we intend to revamp the accountability and credibility model for
Continuing Education.
The Workforce Continuing Education division will develop tools to assist
colleges in implementing internal controls to address practical and
planning issues around program accountability and credibility.
The operational results of this new focus will include increased
accountability for stakeholders, established expectations, and demonstrable
outcomes as well as the encouragement of the use of leveraged resources.

Training Mapped to Credentials
Rapid changes in technology and its
pervasive influence in all industries
demand continual upgrading of skills.
Discuss Topics:
o Credential Profile Forms
o CE Course Changes
o Tier Funding Validations
o National Career Pathways Studies
Employers want to hire workers with
strong certified skills, and then build on
that basic foundation with short-term
training specific to the industry, company,
or changes in work processes or
technology.
Creating clear pathways for students to
begin work toward an industry
certification is a strategy that has great
momentum.
It is a promising strategy for increasing
the educational attainment, earnings, and
career prospects

Employer Engagement
Engagement is more than attending annual business advisory
committee meetings or providing input regarding curriculum.
Effective engagement requires building deep, sustainable
relationships that ensure curriculum design and
credentials meet the needs of industry sectors/clusters
important to the region, and that students exit institutions
able to demonstrate that they have the skills and
credentials needed by business.
The key to good employer engagement
is establishing good communications
with them .. and that means not just
telling them what you have but paying
attention to their needs and wants.
Alignment between the workforce and
education systems has the potential to
improve curriculum development, course
planning in institutions, and consumer
information necessary to improve student,
parent, and educator decisions.

On-the-Job Training Program (WIA)
Contact your local Workforce Development Board/JobLink Center
Workforce Investment Act Section 101 (31)
Training by an employer that is provided to a paid participant while engaged in productive work in a job that:
(a) Provides knowledge or skills essential to the full adequate performance of the job
(b) Provides reimbursement up to *50 percent of the wage rate of the participant for the extraordinary costs
of providing the training and additional supervision related to the training, and
(c) Is limited induration as appropriate to the occupation for which the participant is being trained, taking into

Put Simply
OJT is an “earn and learn” training option that the workforce system can offer employers and job seekers. Funded
through the Workforce Investment Act, OJT allows employers in the public, private non profit, or private sector to
provide training to workers in need of additional skills training for an identified position. Program benefits:
• Get job seekers back to work
• Bridge a participant’s skill gap(s)
• Promote self-sufficient employment and career advancement
• Reimburse the extraordinary cost of training to employers

Apprenticeship Program
Registered Apprenticeship
•
Registered Apprenticeship is employer driven and designed to meet a company’s individual workforce needs.
•
Working together, community college staff and the employer develops a training curriculum that includes a work
process for the on-the-job training and related classroom technical theory instruction. The number of required onthe-job training hours and related technical theory contact hours depends upon the occupation.
•
Simply put, “students earn while they learn.” Additionally, as an apprentice’s on-the-job skills progressively
increase so does the wage.
Pre-Apprenticeship
Goals:
• Provide youth and adults with a link between education in the classroom and skill training in the workplace.
• Create work experience opportunities in apprenticeable occupations and prepare individuals for possible
participation in registered apprenticeship programs.
• Collaborate with existing services in the schools and workforce training system partners.
