3 South Carolina Adult College Completion through E-Learning Resources and Academic Tracks to Employment (SC ACCELERATE) TAACCCT Round 2 Grant Program SC ACCELERATE provides accelerated educational and career pathways for adult learners, preparing them for high-skill/high-demand occupations in South Carolina's expanding manufacturing sector. A consortium of six South Carolina technical and community colleges are implementing the program as according to five program strategies: Create Adult Post-Secondary Transition Centers Outreach, Marketing, and Recruitment;; Develop a Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) Plan;; Develop New Curricula and Redesign Existing Curricula;; and Entrepreneurship Training. Examples include: Certified welders CNC Machine Programmers and Operators Entry-level electrician positions Machinists Examples include: Industrial Welding Certificate. Industrial Electricity Certificate CNC Machine Operator Mechanical Electrical Technology Mechatronics Technology National Institute of Metalworking Skills (NIMS) Level I

4 Oh-Penn Pathways to Competitiveness (P2C) Program WIF Round 1 Grant Program The focus of the P2C program is on addressing the acute and critical workforce challenges impacting the regional manufacturing sector. The P2C program s intended outcomes include increased enrollment in manufacturing career pathway programs and attainment of nationally recognized credentials;; improved occupational relevancy of education and training based on employers skills needs;; and, increased employer satisfaction with the quality of job candidates. Examples include: Production Technician Machinist Welder CNC Machine Operator Any National Association of Manufacturing (NAM) endorsed credentials

5 Arizona Sun Corridor Get into Energy Consortium (ASC-GIEC) TAACCCT Round 2 Grant Program The program goal is to provide training in the energy and mining sectors in Arizona, which are expected to see an increased demand for workers due to retirements and population growth. In 2012, a $13.5 million TAACCCT grant was awarded to support the ASC-GIEC in expanding education and career training programs for workers eligible for training under the TAA program and for other adults. The goal is to facilitate high-skill, high-wage employment and advancement in energy and mining. The centerpiece of this initiative is the industry-recognized ASC-GIEC competency model, which defines basic competencies (knowledge, skills, and abilities);; industry fundamentals;; industry technical competencies;; and job-specific competencies in eight stackable tiers. Energy Mining Industry recognized certifications including: National Career Readiness Certificate Energy Employability Skills Certificate Energy Industry Fundamentals Certificate

6 Career Pathways for Adult Workers Program (CPAW Program) TAACCCT Round 3 Grant Program The program s goal is to enhance the capacity to develop and offer a comprehensive education and training program that trains students and local industry employees to enter the growing advanced manufacturing industry. Successful implementation of these strategies and outputs will yield short-and medium-term outcomes for the CPAW program, including increases in the number of: Students recruited, enrolled in, and completing TAACCCT program courses;; Students earning certificates, credentials, and degrees;; Students wh become employed or retain employment after attending the program;; and Employees whose wages increase after attending the program. Potential long-term impacts for participants include reduced unemployment, more qualified workers in manufacturing jobs, increased wages, completion of relevant stackable credentials and certificates for career advancement, and a reduced skills deficit in the workforce. The CPAW program consists of three distinct areas of training: The Certified Production Technician (CPT) certification program, developed by the Manufacturing Skill Standards Council (MSSC), serves as the foundation of the program. Branching out from the CPT certification program, the CPAW program s plan is to offer two career pathways. The first career pathway, Machining/CNC, is being designed to utilize the National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS) Career Pathway certification model. The second career pathway will lead to the Industrial Maintenance (IM) certificate and the Electrical/Electronic (EE) Technology Associate of Applied Science degree.

7 Alaska California Texas (ACT) Oregon national (On) Retail Management Careers Consortium TAACCCT Round 2 Grant Program The program builds educational pathways towards a recognized credential to prepare TAA-eligible and other adult workers for advancement in high skill management positions in the retail industry. The program is designed to move adult learners along in their education by accommodating their work schedules and breaks a single credential program into a sequence of smaller credentials that can stand alone and be recognized. The goals of the program include: Enhance and update the professional competencies and learning related outcomes of the RMC courses to reflect needs of employers Align occupations with the pathway and create credentials that stack to accelerate completion and offer credit for prior learning Create transferability of courses to all 135 community colleges within the WAFC community and new articulation agreements to four year colleges. Provide support for TAA-eligible and other adult workers in their enrollment and career advancement opportunities Build and expand institutional capacity to collect and analyze data on educational and employment outcomes of participants for program improvement purposes. Supervisory and management positions in the retail industry Retail Management Certificate The retail management curriculum, which was developed by WAFC industry leaders and educational representatives, includes 8-10 college-level courses based on standardized competencies and student learning outcomes. The classes can be delivered online, face to face, or in a hybrid format, can be completed in 2 years or less, and develop foundational skills that can be applied immediately in their workplaces.

8 Arizona Advanced Manufacturing Institute (AzAMI) The AzAMI program design aligns education and training programs with the growing demand for workers with advanced manufacturing skills and credentials in a set of core programs of study: electronics, drafting, automation and machining, and welding. The AzAMI program is working to: Develop innovative learning strategies;; Create stackable credentials;; Provide education and training for students to receive nationally recognized industry certifications;; and Develop new curricula to enhance existing programs, including boot camps that review relevant skills, assess participants ability to qualify for credentials, and identify paths for further training, if needed. Potential participant impacts include increased employment in advanced manufacturing jobs, attainment of relevant credentials and certificates for career advancement, enrollment in further education, and increases in wages. AzAMI offers training and education for occupations in Electronics, Drafting, Automation and Machining, and Welding. AzAMI students are able to earn numerous certificates of completion and industry-recognized certificates as they work to earn an associate degree in applied sciences. Industry-recognized certificates are embedded in the core courses of each AzAMI program, allowing students who meet the requirements to receive certificates prior to completing their associate degree.
