  1. ESTEC Energy Systems Technology and Education Center A Unique and Successful Partnership

  2. What makes ESTEC unique? Public-private partnership Curriculum driven by energy industry Market sector approach Hands-on learning in 12,000 sq. foot laboratory that mimics worksites Students learn industrial practices including safety

  3. Why an energy education partnership? • Eastern Idaho is an identified energy corridor • Our biggest economic engine is science & technology • The INL has a mission to…… • ISU has a mission to ….. • P4P has a mission to reduce poverty by building assets and creating opportunity for low income people The creation of ESTEC was win-win for all partners!

  4. P4P’s Role as Operating Partner Outreach Recruitment Retention Diversity Identify barriers & gaps for low income and minority populations Develop programs & processes to meet needs

  8. Priming the Pipeline

  9. Semester long pre-ESTEC program Intense math prep Group and personal counseling Academic and Life skills Meets students where they are not where we want them to be

  10. Quick Wins: STEP 5 students in first cohort Improvement in all COMPASS scores 1 Student already completed and passed COMPASS well above entrance requirements

  11. Partnering is necessary! Working with the students where they are….not where you want them to be is the KEY! Lessons Learned: STEP

  12. Current Enrollment

  13. Results to Date 109 graduates from 2009 to 2011 77% employed in their field of training Others pursuing higher education or working in similar fields Average salary of $50,000 to $70,000 Of the 40 graduates in May 2012, 10 had jobs prior to or at graduation; gathering data on others

  14. I think the most important thing is recognizing that the partnering organizations goals do not have to be the same just similar to be effective. Think of the Olympic symbol of overlapping circles… as long as there is a common ground somewhere inside the overlap where both organizations can see their needs not just being met but aligning with the other partners needs being met, well then good things can happen. Every organization/person has an internal question that says “what about me” and acknowledging that in the beginning makes for much stronger partnerships.
