CTE Transfer Study A study funded by the CCC State Chancellor’s Office Office and by The James Irvine Foundation Presenters: Dr. Darla Cooper Eva Schiorring, MPP
CTE Transfer Study Research Questions • What is the status of CTE transfer? • How is CTE transfer working? • What can we do to increase and support CTE transfer?
Presentation • Why CTE Transfer Needs to Become a Statewide Priority • The State of CTE Enrollment & Transfer • Factors Influencing CTE Transfer • Preliminary findings on strategies supporting CTE transfer Preliminary Findings: Two-Four Year Transfer for CTE Students | 2009 | www.rpgroup.org Dr. Darla Cooper, Associate Director and Eva Schiorring, Senior Researcher
Importance of CTE 2-4 Year Transfer 1 • Projected shortages in supply of workers with baccalaureate preparation • Demographic Trends • Increased Need for/Value Placed on BA • Fastest Growing Population Segment Lowest BA Attainment Rate
Quiz 1. Importance of CTE 2-4 Year Transfer Which jobs requiring BA are projected to generate the largest number of job openings between 2006-2016?

1. Importance of CTE 2-4 Year Transfer Occupations With Largest # of Jobs Requiring BA
Quiz 1. Importance of CTE 2-4 Year Transfer Which jobs requiring BA are projected to grow the fastest between 2006-2016? Preliminary Findings: Two-Four Year Transfer for CTE Students | 2009 | www.rpgroup.org Dr. Darla Cooper, Associate Director and Eva Schiorring, Senior Researcher
1. Importance of CTE 2-4 Year Transfer Fastest Growing Occupations Requiring BA Projected Growth 2006-2016
Implication of Workforce Projections 1. Importance of CTE 2-4 Year Transfer Need to change the way we think about and act to support (or not support) CTE transfer CTE Certificate CTE Associate Degree CTE Lifelong Learning CTE Development of Targeted Job skills CTE also TRANSFER
State of CTE Transfer 2 CTE Infrastructure Expansive 126 different CTE Programs 2,000+ CTE Programs (across the 110 colleges) Expanding 220 CTE programs added between1997-98 and 2007-08 Deep in many high demand disciplines Foothill: 63 transferable courses in Software Development (07/08) Antelope Valley: 38 transferable courses in Digital Media (07/08) Yuba College: 31 transferable courses in Child Care (07/08)

Transfer Destinations for CTE Students 2. State of CTE Transfer • 66% to CSU system • 13% to UC • 13% to private in-state institutions • 8% to out-of-state institutions • Computer-related programs around 50% transfer rate to UC • More transfers to Univ of Phoenix than to any one individual UC campus
Factors Influencing CTE Transfer 3 Surveys and Interviews with CTE Faculty, Counselors, and CTE Administrators Top Rated Factors Supporting CTE Transfer • 2-year instructors help promote CTE transfer • Regional transfer agreements • Transfer culture at community college • ASSIST • Local outreach by 4-year colleges promoting CTE programs
Factors Influencing CTE Transfer Surveys and Interviews with CTE Faculty, Counselors, CTE Administrators Top Rated Factors Compromising CTE Transfer Differences in transfer requirements at receiving colleges Differences btw Associate and transfer requirements Insufficient counseling Insufficient outreach by 4-year colleges 3. Factors Influencing CTE Transfer
Factors Influencing CTE Transfer 3. Factors Influencing CTE Transfer Surveys and Focus Groups with CTE Students Two Key Factors Supporting Transfer • How do I do it? • Accurate and timely technical information about transfer • Yes you can! • Support and encouragement from faculty, counselor, and/or peers
Strategies Supporting CTE Transfer 4 Institutional Strategies • Incorporation of transfer information into CTE courses • Faculty, peer group, and counseling support • Counselors assigned to CTE disciplines • Transfer culture (transfer permeates all aspects of students’ college experience)
4. Strategies Supporting CTE Transfer Inter-Segmental Strategies • Bridge/connector courses • Regional collaboration between 2 and 4 year institutions in targeted CTE disciplines • University partnerships (Baccalaureate Partnership Program) • Bachelor’s of Applied Studies • Statewide transfer agreements
4. Strategies Supporting CTE Transfer Strategies from Other States & Studies • Career Ladders (AS to BS in targeted CTE programs) • Capstone Programs • Community College Baccalaureate • Transfer of a Block of Courses
Next Steps for CTE Transfer Research 5 • Programs with high transfer rates in high demand and emerging CTE disciplines • Colleges with high CTE transfer rate across the board • Two-four year institutions connected by high CTE transfer rates • Four-year institutions awarding CTE BAs on CC campuses • Effective strategies by receiving institutions (incl. privates) • Applied Baccalaureate Degree (applicability in CA)
