Agenda

• Background• Rationale• Principles• Structure•Metrics• Implementation timeline• Feedback and Dialogue

Background: Why WF Reorganization?

• The American workforce is aging/retiring• There is a “skills gap” with many new American workers• The U.S. is not producing the needed number of

“completers” of post-secondary programs preparing workers for “high demand, high wage” jobs• Gates Foundation: Workers must achieve a post-

secondary certificate/degree by age 26• HCC has a “golden opportunity” to expand and

coordinate student access and success in workforce education – we must provide responsible leadership

Background: Need for Coordinated Planning/Action

• New AVC of Workforce Instruction – Spring 2011• HCC WF Program Viability Report (My HCC)• Retreat with Strategic Team: Summer 2012• SACS reaffirmation: Summer 2012• New HCC Strategic Plan: 2012-2015• New partnership with HISD: Career Academies (HILZ)• Community Engagement/Bond campaign: Fall 2012• Strategic Team conversations for WF reorganization: Fall 2012• Community Engagement/Bldg plans: Spring 2013

Why Reorganization?

• Low Growth in Spite of Need

• Low Retention & Outdated Equipment/ Capacity

• Low Number of Completers

• Internal Competition hindering growth

• Business & industry high expectations

• Alignment with Strategic Plan

• Bond Referendum Workforce Focus
