6 Considerations for ETC Program Reviews The Employment Training Center offers non-credit vocational training programs designed to ease the transition to the workforce and prepare individuals for academic and/or professional careers. These programs operate year-round and have frequent entry and exit dates (at least one per month). The durations of the programs range from 3 weeks to 17 weeks. The training programs are terminal by design. In addition to our programs, ETC is able to create, modify, and design customized workshops and courses tailored to meet the needs of Hawaii's employers and the dynamic changing labor market. As such, ETC programs do not generate data in semesters, majors, SSHs, transfer rates, persistence or other indicators used in credit-based program review. ETC intakes may also bridge fiscal years, i.e., a training program with an intake in June (with a course completion in September) may bridge into the next fiscal year; consequently, enrollment data for these training programs will not be detailed in this report. The indicators used in this program review report have been modified and re-iabeled to reflect the nature of ETC training programs. Vi

9 Mission Statements Col/ege mission statement Windward Community College is committed to excellence in the liberal arts and career development; we support and challenge individuals to develop skills, fulfill their potential, enrich their lives, and become contributing culturally aware members of our community. Employment Training Center mission statement The mission of Windward Community College, Employment Training Center, is to serve the community by providing short-term, career-focused education and training in a flexible, learnercentered and supportive environment. ETC is committed to providing counseling services, hands-on employment, and basic skills training, in individually responsive programs. ETC's approach is particularly well adapted to serve students with special needs, including individuals who are economically disadvantaged, unemployed, underemployed, academically under-prepared, persons with disabilities, and alienated high school youth. Program mission statement NA Part I. Executive Summary of Program Status Review of the program rating Overall Program Status The overall program status is healthy with 122 students enrolling in the academic year. With 6 intakes during the year, this averages to approximately 20 students per intake filling the class to capacity. By Perkins measures, the ABRP program exceeded the standard for retention in employment by having 100% of the students who were employed maintain employment for over 60 days. Overall Program Demand Overall program demand is healthy with the high enrollment for all 6 intakes. Although the labor market demand shows a decline, the ABRP Advisory committee comprised of industry leaders in the field is concerned about replacing their employees who are retiring. With the huge construction boom in Hawaii, the construction labor unions have been very proactive in their recruitments for high paying jobs leaving less of a pool of workers for other industries. 3

10 Overall Program Efficiency Up to and including program year , ABRP was a semester-based program. There was one fall intake date for level 1, and one spring intake date for level 2. With only two intake dates, maximum capacity for ABRP at this time was approximately 50 students per year. During program year , the program met maximum enrollment capacity. Staffing during program year was two full-time instructors, so faculty to student ratio was 1:23. With the high risk factor of the auto body equipment and the typically young ages of the students (16-18 years old) enrolled in ABRP, this faculty to student ratio was appropriate and reasonable. During program year , ABRP underwent restructuring and delivered services with only one fulltime instructor and an APT staff. The program changes were to maximize efficiency and to better meet the students' needs and serve a larger student base. Starting in program year the program began offering a 6 module schedule annually. Each of the six modules are different and allows students to start in any of the different modules. This programmatic change has allowed the maximum number of students served to increase by 50%. With one full time faculty member serving the 122 students for FY , this program is very efficient. There were 6 intakes for the program throughout the year and all classes were filled. DemandJEfficiency ABRF 1.

11 Overall Program Outcomes The ABRP program exceeded the internal ETC goal of a 75% completion rate with a 89% completion rate for Of the 122 students enrolled in the program, 109 successfully completed the program and received certificates. ETC has another ABRP program being conducted at the former Barber's Point military base, currently known as Kalaeloa. This program served a total of 14 students. The completion rate for the ABRP program at Kalaeloa was 79%, still exceeding the internal goal of 75%. This is a part time program with the instructor also teaching construction occupations classes. The Summer auto detailing class had an enrollment of 11 students for 2006 and 3 for summer ETC plans to continue to work with the various high schools in the DOE's Leeward District to market the program and increase enrollment. Response to previous program review recommendations NA Part II. Program Description Description and history of the program Program Description: The ABRP program is a 7-week program on basic auto body repair and refinishing. Training is articulated with Honolulu Community College's credit courses and successful completers may apply for HCC credits upon completion of ETC's program. The collaborative program is team taught with one of HCC's instructors. The live lab practice is supervised by all three ABRP faculty (two from HCC and 1 from ETC). Students learn the introductory skills of safety, proper use of tools and equipment, basic auto body repair, and basic metal working. Following modules builds upon the skills in cosmetic repair, welding, plastic filler, painting and refinishing. The Automotive cluster of programs began in the early 1960's with the Auto Body Repair and Auto Mechanic training. It has grown and developed over theyears to a nationally certified program with the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation, Inc (NATEF). ETC's ABRP moved to its current location at the Honolulu Community College campus in the early 1990's and has been team teaching with HCC faculty since The introductory training is articulated with HCe's credit courses, and successful completers may apply for HCC credit upon successful completion.. Currently, this program is under review for possible changes to its delivery structure and content 5

ETC students may elect to continue their education and submit a request for advanced standing through our articulation agreement with HCC. Program Demand: Program demand is evaluated as healthy as ABRP has been able to serve 120 students over the program goal of 90. The program has consistently met the enrollment goal since The 12 referring agencies included the DOE, Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, Samoan Service Providers Association, Private Rehabilitation, one self-pay, and other agencies. Internal Demand Year Enrollment Goal Actual Enrollment External Demand: According to Industry Employment Projection for the State of Hawaii, "Employment Outlook for Industries and Occupations " the auto body industry will have the following growth: Industry Change in Avg. Annual Trends Employment Growth ABRP % This demand demonstrates the viability of the program and shows the vital need to continue this type of vocational training. 11

18 Program Efficiency: Up to and including program year , ABRP was a semester-based program. There was one fall intake date for levell, and one spring intake date for level 2. With only two intake dates, maximum capacity for ABRP at this time was approximately 50 students per year. During program year , the program met maximum enrollment capacity. Staffing during program year was two full-time instructors, so facuity to student ratio was 1 :23. With the high risk factor of the auto body equipment and the typically young ages of the students (16-18 years old) enrolled in ABRP, this faculty to student ratio was appropriate and reasonable. During program year , ABRP underwent restructuring and delivered services with only one full-time instructor and an APT staff. The program changes were to maximize efficiency and to better meet the students' needs and serve a larger student base. Starting in program year the program began offering a 6 module schedule annually. Each of the six modules are different and allows students to start in any of the different modules. This programmatic change has allowed the maximum number of students served to increase by 50%. Analysis of Datal Program's Action Plan: ABRP exceeded Perkins Benchmark measurement in one of seven measures. As ETC utilizes the team approach of a vocational instructor, an academic instructor and a counselor assigned to the program, ETC will meet with the program staff to evaluate and determine the reason(s) for not meeting 6 of the seven measures. Program and academic competencies will be reviewed and updated as necessary. ETC has an Assessment Coordinator who will be working with the respective Program Coordinators and Instructors to evaluate the data and modify the program to meet the state standards. The new program format has already aided the program in increasing enrollment and offering a more varied and flexible program to our students.

23 Strengths and weaknesses based on analysis of data Strengths This program is in high demand by the students in our Career Opportunities Program serving the Dept. of Education's at-risk population. The program is team taught with the faculty of Honolulu Community College's program, a nationally certified program by NATEF. ETC and HCC students work together in the live laboratory where their knowledge learned in the classroom is put to practice working on live jobs. The classrooms, live labs, tool rooms, and equipment are shared by both ETC and HCC. Weaknesses The Auto Body and Repair program has been filling a large need in the industry over the past decade. Current data, however, shows that there is a decrease in the number of jobs that will be available in the period from The Auto Body Advisory committee however, is a strong supporter of the program as their close relationship with the industry has shown a concern for the replacement of their current workers who will be retiring in the near future. With the advent of the huge construction industry demand, fewer workers are entering vocational fields. 17
