Workforce Development Bottlenecks • Access– limited capacity and scarce faculty • Articulation– needed to support life-long learning • Attrition– higher than overall rates • Finance– campuses forced to cross-subsidize • K-12– most students not well prepared • Industry– investments are not strategic
Working Toward Solutions • Access- Set state-wide and institutional graduate and certificate growth goals through 2010 • Articulation - Provide state-wide articulation paths from certificates to degrees • Attrition - Reformulate delivery system to support students
Working Toward Solutions • Finance- Fund high cost/high demand programs on a differential basis to eliminate penalty to institutions • K-12 - Excite K-12 students with hands-on math and science • Industry - Implement industry clearinghouse to direct substantial industry resources to high impact opportunities
