3 Deputy Sector Navigator Grant ABSTRACT Chaffey College, located in Rancho Cucamonga, California, proposes a Deputy Sector Navigator grant addressing industry needs and educational capacity in the advanced manufacturing sector within Riverside and San Bernardino counties. The Inland Empire is home to 5,160 manufacturing firms which employ 97,000 people in the region. According to the Manufacturer s Council of the Inland Empire, many manufacturing firms in the region expect double digit growth over the next five years which will place increased demand for developing a highly skilled and talented workforce. The sector s workforce needs are well-defined through labor market studies and employer interviews. The advanced manufacturing sector in this region has experienced challenges in recruiting and hiring constituents of the local area because residents in the area lack talent in STEM disciplines have a reduced capacity for complex critical thinking and problems solving skills and demonstrate a lack of interest and/or misperceptions of the opportunities and careers available in the sector. As a result, many employers in the area have had to resort to recruiting talent form other regions and states in order to meet the demand for qualified employees both at entryand advanced levels. The advanced manufacturing sector is at a critical crossroad. In addition to the lack of available talent in the area, the industry anticipates a serious brain drain as the aging baby boomer workforce prepares for retirement. The advanced manufacturing segment needs a workforce to address new industry standards in a high-growth market that can easily adapt to new technologies as they are develop and implemented. Models for meeting the workforce needs in manufacturing technologies have been developed and implemented at Barstow Community College by our Deputy Sector Navigator, Ken Eaves. Across the sector, he has developed programs for up-skilling incumbent workers and building new worker pipelines that range from welders and linemen to engineers and business development professionals. During this period, Mr. Eaves has participated with regional industry consortia and local industries to develop comprehensive curriculum and programs that address the wide range of industry needs while establishing clear career and educational pathways for advancement and promotion. Aggressive Work Plans are incorporated into this proposal. Much of the work involves examining existing programs and curriculum within the region and developing a strategic and standardized framework for reimagining existing programs and implementing new ones as emerging needs are identified. Programs developed will be built into degree, certificate, and transfer curriculum. Synchronizing workforce development with advanced manufacturing market investment will support regional and economic development. Leveraging successful programs, such as those implemented at Barstow Community College, are planned to help accelerate student momentum at other advanced manufacturing programs at other regional colleges. We have received numerous letters of support for this grant including a complete match for the funds requested for the Deputy Sector Navigator component of the award. Grant Number: Page 1

5 Deputy Sector Navigator Grant NEED To remain strong, the United States of America s economy requires an advanced, globally competitive manufacturing sector that invents and makes high-value-added products and leading-edge technologies, here at home. In his February 12, 2013, State of the Union Address President Obama said: Our first priority is making America a magnet for new jobs and manufacturing. After shedding jobs for more than 10 years, our manufacturers have added about 500,000 jobs over the past three years The President spoke about opening up manufacturing innovation institutes throughout the nation where business will partner with government and education to turn regions left behind by globalization into global centers of high-tech jobs. America s ability to make things underpins America s ability to innovate, compete and create good jobs. U.S. manufacturers perform 70 percent of all private-sector research and development and account for 60 percent of U.S. exports and the majority of U.S. industry patents. Over the last six decades, innovation in new products and/or new processes was central to three-quarters of the nation s economic growth. Hence, American manufacturers have been major drivers of this economic progress. 1. Size and Characteristics of the Sector. As reported in Doing What Matters for Jobs & the Economy (April 2012) the manufacturing sector is critical to California s economy. The report states that 2.5 jobs to support the sector are created for every advanced manufacturing position. The sector also creates a ripple effect through intra- and interstate commerce, transferring products within California and throughout the nation building wealth for businesses, individuals and community (Economic and Workforce Development, 2012). As a result, the manufacturing industry has a deeper impact on the state of the economy than other industries. The above publication also identified the following about manufacturing in Riverside and San Bernardino counties: The Inland Empire is home to 5,160 manufacturing firms. Manufacturing firms employ over 97,000 people in the region. Job growth in the sector across the state added over 15,400 jobs in 2011 led by firms in computers, electronics, metal and machinery product manufacturing the latter two are strongly represented in the Inland Empire. Revenue generated by the sector in the region in 2010 was between $26 and $50 billion. Average 2011 sector earnings per worker were $90,935, compared to an average median household income of $57,109 (U.S. Census Quick Facts, 2012). The Manufacturers Council of the Inland Empire recently reported sector growth over the last year as well as an increasing need for qualified workers. A good number of industries are expected to experience a double-digit growth over the next five years. Grant Number: Page 3

6 Deputy Sector Navigator Grant Manufacturing jobs tend to be more concentrated in San Bernardino County, compared to Riverside County. While the relative concentration of manufacturing employment for both counties is below the state average, there are specific manufacturing industries within the sector that have a higher relative concentration of jobs in the region including manufacturing of tortillas (5.9 times), plastic bottles ( 4.9 times), cement (3.8 times), blinds and shades (3.4 times), lighting fixtures (3.1 times) and heavy duty trucks (2.5 times) (Manufacturers Council of the Inland Empire, 2012). 2. Supply and demand gaps. Manufacturing jobs in the Inland Empire are growing, but employers report difficulty in finding qualified employees to fill their job openings. Today s manufacturing operations are technologically advanced and highly efficient resulting in a need to also train incumbent workers to upgrade their skill sets. Manufacturing is no longer the tedious, dirty factory work of the past; many functions are now performed by technologically advanced computer systems and robots which require highly technical skills to operate, maintain and repair. A recent study sponsored by the Manufacturing Institute and conducted by Deloitte, surveyed 1,100 manufacturing firms regarding the challenges in employing talent. Of the respondents, Eighty-three percent of the companies indicate a moderate to severe shortage of skilled production workers and 69% of companies expect this shortage to worsen over the next three to five years (Deloitte and The Manufacturing Institute, 2011). Pending retirements of the aging Baby Boomer workforce will further compound the worker shortage. The Deloitte report identifies specific skill gap areas that significantly impact companies ability to identify and employ skilled talent. First, the nature of manufacturing has radically changed as a result of advances in technology. Rod Hoover, Human Resources Manager of California Steel Industries in Fontana, CA and Co-chair of the Manufacturing Council of the Inland Empire, states, Advanced manufacturing jobs require high level analytical and technical skills. They pay well and provide advancement opportunities. There is a need to invest in both incumbent workers training and re-training of displaced workers for manufacturing craft careers. Streamlined production and automated systems require more highly skilled and technically trained employees like maintenance, computer and software engineers. As companies adopt rapid advances in technology, they are further challenged with training incumbent workers to keep pace with the demands of their jobs. Educational attainment of adults and academic performance of high school graduates is notoriously low in the Inland Empire. Within Riverside and San Bernardino counties, few adults have attained an associates or higher degree. The percentage of adults 25 and older who have less than an associate s degree is 71.9% for Riverside County and 73.3% for San Bernardino County, compared to 62.2% for the state overall. Few high school students in Riverside and San Bernardino counties demonstrate proficiency in math and science. In Riverside, only 40% and 51% of students attained scores of proficient or advanced in math and science respectively. Scores for students in San Grant Number: Page 4

7 Bernardino County were similar with 41% and 46% (math and science respectively), compared to 49% and 53% statewide. Clearly the potential entry-level workers lack the educational knowledge and skills required to succeed in highly technical jobs. However, employers in the Deloitte study noted the most critical deficiency of their employees is 1) lack of critical thinking and problem solving skills; 2) lack of technical skills; and 3) lack of basic employability skills. The study sites: Deputy Sector Navigator Grant What are the most serious skill deficiencies in your current employees? Source: Deloitte Development LLC and The Manufacturing Institute, there continues to be a lack of broader problem solving abilities. Many manufacturers and other employers are learning that skills such as critical thinking not only allow an individual to digest, analyze, and communicate information, but are needed across a broad range of disciplines. Respondents to the study also noted that a large number of jobs in manufacturing go unfilled because of the distinct lack of talented and qualified applicants. The study estimates up to 600,000 jobs nation-wide are left unfilled. In an area like the Inland Empire region where unemployment rates in recent years exceeded 12%, this creates what Deloitte identifies as an unemployment paradox. In 2012 Chaffey College hosted a focus group meeting with management executives representing some of the largest manufacturing companies in the inland region, including California Steel Industries, the largest steel manufacturer on the west coast, and Ventura Foods, one of the largest food production and private labeling companies in the U.S., and Cott Beverages, one of the world s largest producers of beverages. Talent concerns for new and incumbent employees of the focus group participants mirrored the results from the study. Our manufacturers noted that in many cases, they are forced to recruit employees from other regions and states due to the lack talent in the available workforce in the area. Finally, the Deloitte study and our manufacturing executives note there is a general misperception of the manufacturing industry among the potential workforce. The Deloitte study notes that among young adults (ages 18-24) manufacturing ranks dead last among industries in which they would choose to start their careers (Deloitte Development LLC and The Manufacturing Institute, 2011). Young adults also have a misperception of the monetary benefits and compensation of careers in manufacturing. Manufacturing is no longer the tedious, dirty factory work of the past. Many functions are streamlined and automated by complex robots and computer software systems which require highly technical skills to operate and critical thinking skills to troubleshoot operations. Salaries for these positions, even at the entry level, exceed the median family income for both Riverside and San Bernardino counties. Grant Number: Page 5

8 Deputy Sector Navigator Grant 3. Advanced Manufacturing Collaboratives. The Manufacturers Council of the Inland Empire was formed specifically to address workforce needs in the sector and region. When the Council was formed in 2005, unemployment was low; however, industry partners still had to travel out of state to fulfill their workforce needs. Community colleges in the regions worked with manufacturing companies to begin to address the dire need to develop local talent. Through funding from an Industry Driven Regional Collaborative Grant (IDRC), the colleges and manufacturing companies funded an entry-level training program in response to industry need. Credit curriculum was customized to deliver short-term, intensive 10 week training to prepare students to enter the manufacturing industry in entry-level positions. Once this need was met the Council transitioned their efforts to train incumbent workers in need of upgrading their skills to meet the evolving technological expertise required. Both programs were successful for several years, but now the talent gap is widening again and there is critical need at both the incumbent worker and entry levels. The Alliance for Education was formed in San Bernardino County under the San Bernardino County Schools Office to bring K-12, ROP, community colleges, four-year universities together with industry to address the ever-increasing gap between the skills industry needs and the skills our graduates bring to the work place. The 2012 ERISS Corporation Report, paid for by the San Bernardino County Workforce Investment Board, identifies Advanced Manufacturing as one of the top 3 industries for our region. The report reads: Manufacturing is an important target for a number of reasons. Wages are generally high, including for workers without college degrees. Manufacturers often prefer locations outside the higher real estate costs of major urban areas, so long as access to urban areas and shipping locations is available. The Inland Empire is well-recognized throughout the state as a logistics hub for manufacturing and commerce and growth in the manufacturing sector is expected to continue to grow as the economy recovers. However, the lack of a skilled workforce, if not addressed, will negatively impact expected growth and potentially damage the local economy. The West End Workforce Opportunity Collaborative (WE WORC) was formed under Career Visions hosted by Baldy View ROP several years ago and moved to Chaffey College in This collaborative includes decision makers representing K-12, ROP, Labor, Community Colleges, 4-year Universities, San Bernardino County Workforce Development Department, Employment Development Department, One-Stop Centers, Alliance for Education. Although the focus of this collaborative was originally the West End of San Bernardino County, the Alliance for Education has taken it county-wide and is currently working with Riverside County to do the same.

9 Deputy Sector Navigator Grant Chaffey College, Riverside Community College District, San Bernardino Community College District, and Mt. San Jacinto College all have CTE Community Collaborative Grants and work closely to serve regional workforce needs in Advanced Manufacturing. In Riverside County, Dr. Pamela Clute from the University of California, Riverside has launched an educational network, Federation for a Competitive Economy (FACE) in partnership with Inland Empire Economic Partnership (IEEP). This organization works with community colleges and the K-12 system to increase the birth to college/career pathways of the region s young people and adults so that they can find personal success as well as significantly contribute to the vitality of the local economy. One of the top target industries is Advanced Manufacturing. However, the above organizations often operate in silos, serve specific geographic areas and overlap some services. The Deputy Sector Navigator will develop a concerted effort to meet needs without overlap as well as bring this critical collaboration to scale to serve Advanced Manufacturing in all areas of the Inland Empire efficiently and effectively. 4. Improving communication and strengthening partnerships. The Deputy Sector Navigator will work closely with the Sector Navigator, Chancellor s Office, Desert Region Consortia, administrators and faculty from community colleges, K- 12, ROP, and four-year institutions as well as the workforce system, credentialing bodies, trade associations and policy stakeholders to create a network of cooperation and communication. This will require an in-depth inventory of coursework and training currently offered, activities and work groups currently in place and detailed reporting of what is working well and what is not. In addition, a data inventory of results will be compiled, compared and studied to identify best practices, gaps and overlaps within the sector. A web-based communication tool will be developed to host a public calendar of industry sector events, workshops and meetings. This portal will also include identified needs, planned activities to address needs, evaluations tools and data outcomes. It will be organized geographically so users can easily find information pertinent to their location and area of focus. Effective communication in a region as large as the Inland Empire is critical to the success of this effort. The Deputy Sector Navigator will provide alignment of accountability-based common metrics. Utilization of LaunchBoard metric tool will be implemented and utilized to facilitate these efforts as soon as it becomes operational. Grant Number: Page 7

10 Deputy Sector Navigator Grant RESPONSE TO THE NEED With guidance from the Sector Navigator and in consultation with other regional Deputy Navigator, Chaffey s Deputy Navigator will participate in statewide and regional activities to promote strategies and establish foundations for workforce training needs that reflect innovation and provide highly technical education in response to industry needs. The Deputy Navigator will engage stakeholders including business and industry partner, key faculty, student services personnel, K-12 partners, Employment Development Departments, Workforce Incubation Boards, trade associations and other key partners in assessment, review and evaluation of existing programs and emerging needs of workforce development within the advanced manufacturing sector. The Deputy Navigator will actively participate with sector activities on a state-wide level through the HUB activities and coordinate efforts locally within the Inland Empire. Regular reporting and assessment via the Sector Navigator will ensure our activities align with statewide initiatives and are consistent with activities in other regions to ensure a cohesive state-wide effort to address workforce development and training in advanced manufacturing. The California Community College Chancellor s Office has identified five primary objectives for the Deputy Sector Navigator grant competition. Chaffey College has aligned all of our Deputy Sector Navigator activities and performance outcomes to align with the identified objectives and reflect collaborative relationships and activities at the state-wide and regional levels. Objective 1: The Deputy Navigator will work collaboratively in a network comprised of the statewide Sector Navigator and other Deputy Navigators within the advanced manufacturing sector and work with key stakeholders within the Inland Empire. Statewide Collaboration. Under the general direction of the Sector Navigator, the Deputy Navigator will participate in all proposed and required activities coordinated by the Sector Navigator and HUB and will comply with all established reporting requirements. The Deputy Navigator will attend quarterly meetings convened to engage Deputy Navigators throughout the state in meaningful dialog to existing and emerging needs in workforce development, identify and implement best practices and ensure consistency in approach and delivery of training programs. As part of the system-wide goal, Mr. Ken Eaves, Chaffey College s Deputy Navigator, will engage colleges within our region with manufacturing programs along with other workforce training providers including Regional Occupational Programs (ROPs), California Department of Education manufacturing high school academies as well as county Employment Development Departments and Workforce Improvement Boards (WIBs), and industry partners. The combined efforts and contribution of these stakeholders will facilitate the identification of training needs and skill gaps, evaluation of existing programs and evolution of improved training programs and career ladders or lattices for both incumbent and entry level workers.

11 Deputy Sector Navigator Grant Adoption of Best Practices. As part of the statewide effort, Mr. Eaves will be able to share his curriculum with other regional Deputies and gain access to other best practices employed in other areas of the state. One of the greatest challenges in developing effective and responsive programs is addressing the skills gap. Currently several factors are converging within the advanced manufacturing sector which are significantly impacting the ability of industry employers to identify skilled talent. As the economy recovers, the sector is experiences steady growth. The industry is expects a wave of retirements and brain drain as the baby boomer generation prepares for retirement. The need for workers to fill these vacancies is compounded by skill deficiencies in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) as well as a distinct lack of critical thinking and problem solving skills within the workforce pool. Finally, the slow pace of the current educational system simply has not been able to keep pace with the rapid advances in technology. Technology taught today is quickly replaced by new systems and made obsolete. Industry needs require us to train the workforce on technologies that have yet to be developed. As the Deputy Navigator, Mr. Eaves has experience in developing highly effective training programs that both meet industry demand and provide highly technical, hand-on training that incorporates the critical thinking and problem solving skills workers will need as new technologies are developed and adopted by industry. Mr. Eaves has successfully implemented several training programs including the Industrial Maintenance Mechanical Training and High Tech Utility Scale Solar Training programs at Barstow Community College. These programs provide a combination of both classroom and hands-on instruction and are follow the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) nationally standardize industry recognize curriculum. The programs provide a series of stackable certificates through which students can progress for career and educational advancement which can lead to completion of an associate s degree and/or transfer to a four-year degree program. Nationally recognized certifications also means workers who complete the program will gain fluidity in their career opportunities and the certifications will be recognize and valid across state lines. Industry certification validate workers knowledge and skill levels and provide a level of confidence to employers who can easily determine workers ability and skill levels based on their level of completion. This reduces risk and liability in hiring and promotion practices. Accountability-based Performance. As part of the state-wide effort, Mr. Eaves collaborate with other Deputy Navigators within the sector to develop consistent and replicable curriculum, training, services and programs that address current and emerging needs in advanced manufacturing sector. He will engage with the Sector Navigator subject matter experts both statewide and within the region. Subject matter expert will represent community college faculty, industry leaders, professional and trade associations and manufacturing partners. Collaboration and dialog will foster a community of experts who will facilitate workforce development consistent with statewide goals and addressing the specific needs within the region. Mr. Eaves will participate in regularly scheduled state-wide Sector Navigator meetings as well as convene and facilitate meetings of experts and stakeholders within the Inland Empire region. Grant Number: Page 9

12 Deputy Sector Navigator Grant Objective 2. The Deputy Navigator will work with employers, industry and labor organizations and WIBs within the region. A key function of the Deputy Navigator is to convene and engage stakeholders in meaningful and collaborative interactions to identify industry needs and develop responsive programs that address them. Chaffey College s Deputy Navigator will engage stakeholders in a series of workshops, meetings and related activities to increase awareness, strengthen programs and promote training, educational and professional opportunities. Determine Skill Gaps. Mr. Eaves will host a regional skills panel workshop comprised of industry leaders within the region and advanced manufacturing faculty and Career and Technical Education representatives from participating community colleges to determine workforce needs within the sector. This committee will serve as the driving force for additional activities and interactions among other key stakeholders and serve as liaison in relation to the state-wide efforts. The panel will consist of 50% industry representation. In addition to identifying workforce needs, the panel will advocate for advanced manufacturing sector priorities among workforce training providers, engage and educate high school and high school district in sector career opportunities and elicit support for sector strategies among municipal and county elected officials thereby strengthening awareness and directly influencing local and regional policies related to the sector. Strengthen Programs with the Sector at Regional Colleges. Efforts to address industry needs in advanced manufacturing have not been implemented strategically. Instead, individual colleges have worked with businesses on and ad hoc, as needed basis as needs emerged. To date, there has been no comprehensive strategic approach to addressing sector needs. The Deputy Navigator will engage additional stakeholder including county EDDs, WIBs, the Manufacturing Council of the Inland Empire, the Community College Desert Consortium and Regional Occupational Centers and Programs (ROCPs) to improve linkages and define career and technical education pathways between high schools, community colleges and employers. Meetings and communications among these stakeholders will strengthen local leadership and coordination in building the necessary supporting capacity for the identification and implementation of delivery systems including a regional sector center, advisory committees and collaborative communities. The Deputy Navigator will be responsible for providing up-to-date information regarding progress of activities and improved linkages to the Sector Navigator through regular quarterly reports. Best practices developed within the region will be shared among the other Deputy Navigators with a focus on latticed curriculum strategies that can be replicated at other institutions and/or serve as models for other programs within the sector. Promote Opportunities for Contract Education and Faculty Professional Growth. The Deputy Navigator will foster these opportunities through the following: Grant Number: Page 10

13 Deputy Sector Navigator Grant Creating a standardized framework for curriculum development and certification which meets the NCCER industry standards and assist faculty within the region implement the curriculum framework into their programs. Assist faculty in incorporating critical thinking and problems solving curriculum and activities throughout the planned coursework, integrating these skills both in the classroom and hand-on training. Develop a framework for incorporating employability skills (i.e. employee conduct and communication, showing up to work on time, employee responsibilities and ethics, etc.) to address these specific needs in industry. Develop regional outreach plan to identify additional target markets and prioritize market needs. Provide at least two Instructor Certification Training Program (ICTP) sessions to certify faculty to provide NCCER nationally recognized certification. Provide training to 25 craft instructors from the region who will receive nationally recognized industry certification. Provide training to 20 support staff from the region who will complete the modules necessary to act as proctors and data entry support. Provide professional development to faculty, teachers, counselors and other support staff to familiarize them with labor market needs. The strength of these activities in the region will rely on Mr. Eaves continuous leadership in facilitating the implementation of training in both current and emerging technologies. In order for training programs to keep pace with evolving technologies, Mr. Eaves will have to maintain close communication and consultation with industry leaders and effectively communicate technology needs and training to participating faculty and other stakeholders. Ongoing evaluation of the sector needs in the region will be a key component to ensure we effective and efficient address workforce development needs and provide appropriate curriculum and programs. Objective 3: Identify and prioritize skill gaps within the workforce and develop strategies for implementation. Priority occupations and skill gaps identified. As mentioned previously, Mr. Eaves will convene a skills panel consisting of industry leaders in advanced manufacturing throughout the region to identify specific skill gaps among both incumbent and entrylevel employees. Once these gaps have been identified, the panel will rank and prioritize the gaps in accordance with SB 1402 and SB 1070 funding. Mr. Eaves will convene faculty, division chairs and deans from participating colleges who will examine industry priorities in relation to workforce development curriculum and programs currently in place. Participants will form subcommittees consisting of related disciplines (e.g. electronic engineering technician, computer operating systems, etc.). The subcommittees will perform thorough evaluations of all credit based and non-credit based certificates to determine curriculum and program responsiveness to the identified skill gaps. The focus of programs improvements will be to create a consistent framework which on which to reimagine existing programs and provide a model for the development of new initiatives. The over-arching strategy and goal will be to create a Grant Number: Page 11

14 Deputy Sector Navigator Grant suite of programs addressing the varied need of our industry partners which also conform to nationally recognized certifications. The nationally recognized certifications will be organized in stratified levels which align with industry promotion scales, each level progressing and building on previously acquired skills. Courses and certifications at each level will be aligned with existing certificates and degree programs within the community college system to create stackable certificates leading to associates degrees. The subcommittees will identify areas where program modifications should be made and make recommendations for curriculum improvements within the scope of integrating the needs of employers and addressing the competencies and job skills required for employment and advancement. Periodically, the subcommittees will engage industry leaders for feedback and direction during the curriculum development process until consensus is reached and a final report and recommendation are made to the Deputy Navigator. The Deputy Navigator will in turn present the findings and recommendations to the Sector Navigator for distribution to other regions. Objective 4: The Deputy Sector Navigator will work with representatives of business, labor and professional trade associations to develop and implement courses and programs to train incumbent workers. The Manufacturing Council of the Inland Empire has an Inland Empire focus but is currently made up of mostly San Bernardino County manufacturers. The Deputy Sector Navigator will expand the Council by bringing in smaller operations as well as manufacturers from Riverside County. Manufacturers will constantly assess workforce needs at monthly meetings in consultation with college faculty and industry experts to customize curriculum to meet their workforce needs. The Deputy Sector Navigator will also work with the workforce development specialists from both counties Workforce Investment Boards, organized labor and professional trade associations to ensure their workforce needs are being addressed. Skills panels representative of this industry will also be convened to discuss in detail skills needed for this advancing industry. Customized training will be offered in modules with some bridging to credit curriculum throughout the Inland Empire. Training schedules/calendars will be posted on the Inland Empire/Desert Region website to ensure access to all interested parties. Marketing strategies will be developed to disseminate information concerning meetings and training opportunities including website postings, flyers and press coverage. It is anticipated that current customized training will be available immediately using curriculum developed through the MCIE by expanding the influence of the Council throughout the region. Training will be evaluated at the end of each session by the incumbent employee, front-line supervisors and company management. Results from evaluations will be used to adjust curriculum as indicated by consensus of Council in consultation with the Deputy Sector Navigator. This will ensure efficient, effective and evolving training to truly meet industry needs. Grant Number: Page 12

15 Deputy Sector Navigator Grant Objective 5: Support sector partnerships through the collection and reporting of data on all required accountability measures working with common metrics and accountability measures working with the statewide LaunchBoard initiatives. As Deputy Sector Navigator, Mr. Eaves will be responsible for all collection and reporting of data on required accountability measures for advanced manufacturing sector activities within the region. Mr. Eaves will participate in all state-wide sector navigator activities and report regularly on the activities and developments within his sector region. He will engage in collaborative work with other Deputy Navigators throughout the state in developing a strategic framework for developing workforce development and training needs that address the specific identified skill gaps and advanced technology needs of our industry partners. He will provide regular reports and updates to the state-wide Sector Navigator utilizing the LaunchBoard metric tool (when operational). Mr. Eaves will assist with regional curriculum assessment and review including assessment of existing curriculum for both entry-level and incumbent workers within the industry sector. He will work with the Sector Navigators and other state-wide Deputy Sector Navigators to develop a series of best practices to address the identified and emerging skill gaps within the advanced manufacturing industry to create a comprehensive and strategic state-wide approach to workforce development training in the sector.

Advanced Transportation Technology and Energy Center at the College of the Desert California Auto Teachers Association in partnership with the Perkins 1B Statewide Leadership Collaborative for Industrial and Technical Education Grant NRG Energy Sandia National Laboratory Kern Community College District El Camino College Timet-Titanium Metals, Henderson, Nevada Grant Number: Page 14

27 Deputy Sector Navigator Grant A few examples of Mr. Eaves major accomplishments include: Achievement of Accredited Training Sponsor (ATS) through National Center for Construction Education and Research for the California Community College System. This ATS status will allow committee colleges throughout California to provide students and trainees with the ability to receive nationally recognized industry certification in over 60 different trades including many that pertain to advanced manufacturing. Re-introduced and updated credit-based CTE programs offered at Barstow Committee College to meet the advanced technology demands of the 21 st century workforce. Mr. Eaves was able to revitalize and substantially increase the programs for which there was industry demand for skilled workforce. Obtained over $4.5 million in the last four years external grant funding and over $1.1 million in contract training to assist in the development of skilled workforce in the region. 2. Deputy Sector Navigator s past successes in creating educational products/services that address skill gaps in industry. Mr. Eaves worked with Molycorp Inc. in the development of a customized hour training program in Industrial Maintenance Mechanic training specifically designed to meet the company s training employment needs. The training plan is based on NCCER nationally standardized industry recognized curriculum. There were some unique skill requirements to meet Molycorp s workforce development needs, such as basic chemistry and analytical laboratory techniques, MSHA certification and computing technology. Mr. Eaves through his educational and industry contacts was able to meet Molycorp s training needs and begin the training in less than 30 days. Funding for the program was provided through the San Bernardino County Workforce Development Board.

28 Deputy Sector Navigator Grant Technical Education Programs. He has successfully re-implemented and modernized several CTE programs, including the Electrical Certificate and associate s degree, that were discontinued during the 1990 s to meet the workforce needs of the 21 st century. Mr. Eaves was able to get them to agree to provide internship opportunities to students pursuing these requested certificates and degree in IM E & I. They will provide work experience during the summer for those in the pursuit of the degree. If they successfully complete the degree and show good work ethic, they will automatically be hired. They also will provide scholarships and other support to the students. Mr. Eaves is also shepherding approval of the Industrial Maintenance Electrical and Instrumentation (IM E & I) certificate and degree through the curriculum approval process. This program also meets NCCER certification standards. The college is expecting to be able to award the certificate and degree in fall In combination with the certificate and degree, he has worked with industry partners to establish an internship program for students in the IM E & I program. Student interns in pursuit of a degree who demonstrate good work ethics and mastery of skills will be eligible for immediate hire by our industry partners. Mr. Eaves established a program of stackable certifications. These Certificates of Career Preparation, which do not require approval by the Chancellor s Office, include a 7-unit Certificate of Career Preparation IMMT Level I and 9-unit Certificate of Career Preparation IMMT Level II which equate to the first two years of an Industrial Maintenance Mechanic program. When these certifications are stacked together, students will have completed the core requirements for their certificate and degree in Industrial Maintenance Mechanics. To meet the request for Industrial Maintenance Electrical and Instrumentation (IM E & I) skilled workers, Mr. Eaves developed a 10-unit Certificate of Career Preparation IM E & I Level II and 11.5-unit Certificate of Career Preparation IM E & I Level III. When these are stacked together, the student will have completed the core requirements for their certificate and degree in Industrial Maintenance Electrical and Instrumentation. 3.

The College has total control over this facility since they provide concurrent enrollment opportunities to their students. With the large flow of contract training that they do in that facility he needs to ensure that it is available to schedule the contract training that will be done at that site. Also, it allows him to maintain interaction with the students and trainees at that center to obtain their input on the success of our programs. To date, Mr. Eaves has succeeded in securing over $900,000 in grant awards to equip this state-of the-art facility. The facility includes two high tech computer labs that will allow the use of highquality simulation in areas such as Industrial Maintenance Electrical and Instrumentation, Industrial Maintenance Mechanics, HVAC, and electrical. These areas of training represent some of the new high-demand, high-wage training programs requested by industry partners. In partnership with a regional high school district, he developed and implemented an Early College High School concurrent enrollment program on a new forty-five million dollar school site. In the first year the program enrolled over five hundred students in high-demand CTE pathways identified by regional employers. Additionally, he developed and implemented a dual credit construction trades program on Barstow Unified School District high school campus as a magnet center. These high school students are able to complete the required college units for a Certificate of Career Preparation from the college as they complete their high school diploma. For the Silver Valley School District, Mr. Eaves promoted, scheduled, and implemented Customer Service Academy classes. All of the K-12 course and programs were scheduled on each of the individual campuses to match their bell schedule, and semester start dates and holiday schedules while meeting the college s required contact hours.
