WHAT IS CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION ANYWAY?

• Definition: A program of study that involves one or a sequence of courses

that integrates core academic knowledge with technical and occupational knowledge to provide students with a pathway to further postsecondary education and careers.

• Often exposure to CTE pathways begins in primary or secondary schools

and may conclude in post-secondary institutions

• Many CTE programs have external regulatory bodies that provide guidance

as to structure and requirements for education and work-based experiences.

• CTE programs may be credit or non-credit (for the purposes of this

presentation we will focus on the credit programs offered at PCC)

CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION- FUNDING AND REGULATIONS

Federal and State Administered Funds that support CTE Programs:

• Carl Perkins Career and Technical Act
• Work Force Investment Act Funds
• Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act
• Strong Work Force
• Chancellors Office for Economic and Workforce Development

(Provide oversight and guidance as to how funds may be used)

CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION- FUNDING AND REGULATIONS

CTE Programs often have various regulatory or legal mandates that they must meet in order to be offered at colleges, which safeguards both the college and students and ensures that programs remain of high quality.

• Program Approval by State Regulatory Agencies
• Specialized Program Accreditation Recognition
• Licensure and Certification Outcomes Monitoring
• Required advisory committees comprised of Industry/Academic

Partners

CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION AT PASADENA CITY COLLEGE

Pasadena Community College offers 86 distinct credit CTE programs Current CTE programs offered at PCC lead to either a certificate or degree that prepares students for entry level employment. These program pair high quality theoretical knowledge with practical Career and Technical Education programs may also lead to transfer

• pportunities which allow participants to pursue the baccalaureate

degree and beyond (Examples— Accounting, Architecture, Business Administration, and Nursing)

INTEREST IN CTE AT PCC IS ROBUST AND INCREASING

Over the last 3 years the number of students enrolling in CTE Programs either degree or certificate is increasing as exhibited by increasing enrollments and FTES production Year FTES 2018-2019 1562.98 2017-2018 1510.37 2016-2017 1491.47

FTES per Year for 9+ CTE Unit Earners

FTES per Year for 9+ CTE Unit Earners

Why this metric matters

• Student success (retention and completion)
• Success of programs

Local Vision for Success Goals

• 1B: PCC will increase the number of students

who earned a CCCCO-approved certificate by 20%

• 3A: PCC will decrease the average number of

units earned among all students who earn an Associate Degree or an ADT and who have taken at least 60 units at PCC by 15%.

Student-Centered Funding Formula

• “Student Success Allocation” for 9+ Units of CTE

(1 point per student/$440, with additional funding for Promise and Pell recipients)

• Certificates of Achievement- 16 or more units (2

points per student/$880, with additional funding for Promise and Pell recipients)

• Attainment of Regional Living Wage (1 point per

student/$440, with additional funding for Promise and Pell recipients)

CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION SUCCESS AT PCC: INCREASING ENROLLMENT WHILE INCREASING STUDENT SUCCESS CTE Programs of Study (POS) are evaluated using the following metrics:

• Completion (Degree or Certificate)
• Educational Advancement or Transfer (Traditional and

Concurrent Enrollment Pathways)

• Partnerships with Industry
• Employment of program completers
• Wage gain

SUCCESSES – PARTNERSHIPS CTE Programs leverage their industry partnerships to provide feedback on program improvement and to provide experiential learning sites for students.
