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
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.
