  1. Measuring and Supporting Strategic Directions Sector Strategy and Career Pathway Event February 25, 2013

  2. President Obama, during State of the Union: President Obama on Tuesday night called for major changes to the criteria accreditors use to evaluate colleges, asking Congress to either require accreditors to take college prices and educational value into account or to create an alternative system based on “performance and results.” Either could mark a significant shift in how the federal government judges higher education quality and eligibility for financial aid programs.

  3. Governor Walker, budget press release on WTCS: • Among the economic development programs and initiatives funded in Governor Walker’s next budget are: • Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS) Workforce Development Initiatives: • Increased Aid and Flexibility for Workforce Training: Increasing state aid to technical colleges by $5 million in general aid, as well as giving flexibility over $22 million in existing worker training-related funds. WTCS can use these funds to incentivize training program expansion in areas of high-demand for worker training needs. It also requires performance and results be tracked to allow WTCS to adjust curriculum based on future skills gaps.

  4. Governor Walker, budget press release on WTCS: • Among the economic development programs and initiatives funded in Governor Walker’s next budget are: • Performance-Based Funding: In addition, the budget will phase in performance funding for all of the state aid given to technical colleges. It will begin at 10% in 2014-15 and would eventually total all $88.5 million general aid through performance by 2020. This would be roughly one-tenth of WTCS school operational budgets. The funding formula would be developed by WTCS with DOA oversight. The formula would be required to have a focus on job placement and programs focused in high demand fields.
