4 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Diploma in Construction Carpenter Hazard Community and Technical College A Proposal for Initiation of a New Diploma Program A. Centrality to the Institution s Mission and Consistency with State s Goals The mission of Hazard Community and Technical College (HCTC): HCTC is a comprehensive, public community and technical college that empowers diverse learners, building self-confidence and leadership capacity for lifelong personal success and community enhancement. The objectives for the proposed program align with the mission statement in the areas of lifelong personal success and community enhancement by preparing graduates that are competent entry-level construction carpenters. The Goals for the Strategic Plan for Hazard Community and Technical College ( ): Goal 1: HCTC will raise the level of educational attainment in the region by positioning HCTC as the accessible, affordable, and relevant postsecondary education choice. Goal 2: HCTC will increase access and success for HCTC students, particularly among traditionally underserved populations. Goal 3: HCTC will develop clear pathways through all levels of postsecondary education with an emphasis on experiential learning that lead to successful employment outcomes for HCTC graduates. Goal 4: HCTC will improve student engagement, support, experiences, and success with best-in-class academic and student services. Goal 5: HCTC will align programs and curricula with needs of employers that enhance the employability, job placement, and career development of HCTC graduates. The Construction Carpenter Diploma objectives support the goal of increasing student access and success by preparing competent entry-level construction carpenters with skills required to meet industry needs. The objectives also support the HCTC goal to develop clear pathways through all levels of postsecondary education with an emphasis on experiential learning that lead to successful employment outcomes for HCTC graduates through close working relationships to all five Area Technology Centers, within or close to HCTC service area, to provide clear educational pathways New Program Request Form 3

5 for students to obtain detailed hands-on construction training for successful careers. In addition, the objectives support the workforce development of the Commonwealth by adding trained, ready-to-work employees to the economy. Kentucky s Postsecondary Education Strategic Agenda includes: Opportunity Ensuring accessibility, student support and resources, and that students enter postsecondary education prepared for credit-bearing work. Success Increasing persistence and certificate and degree completions, and improving teaching and learning. Impact Raising educational attainment levels, improving career readiness of graduates, increasing basic, applied and translational research to promote economic growth, and expanding partnerships and public service to improve the health and quality of life of Kentucky communities. The Construction Carpenter Diploma addresses opportunity for high school graduates with an educational pathway to build on their technical training, received through area technology center carpentry programs, which will flow directly into their postsecondary education. Opportunity also increases through the Construction Carpenter Diploma as it is an approved program in Accelerated Opportunities which will allow GED students more access to a college education. The diploma will meet success by ensuring program graduates will be diploma prepared construction carpenters by learning a wide range of skills to increase job opportunities. The diploma will make an impact by graduates being well prepared and trained with skills to enter the construction industry improving their quality of life and the overall economy of the community and state. The Construction Carpenter Diploma supports HCTC s mission to train students in high wage, high demand technical fields and meet the need to retrain the over 8,000 coal miners who are unemployed in the region. The Construction Technology program shares overlapping skills with the mining industry. These individuals are naturally drawn to the program but need the focus provided in the Construction Carpenter Diploma curriculum to make them more employable in the region, as well as statewide and nationwide. The program can lead to several careers in residential and light commercial construction, or get the student started in business as an independent contractor. This program is an excellent background for many other career options such as architect, engineer, building inspector, surveyor, construction manager, estimator and even plumbers and electricians. B. Program Quality and Student Success Construction Carpenter Diploma students will be continuously evaluated by both written assessment and observation utilizing check sheets. Students will also be New Program Request Form 4

6 assessed utilizing the National Occupational Competency Testing Institute (NOCTI) Carpentry Exam. The program will be assessed annually through a program review. Student course evaluations, advising evaluation surveys and individual course assessments are completed each term, as well as employer satisfaction surveys annually. Every effort is made to ensure that the diploma will not only meet student needs, but business and industry needs as well. There will be continued collaboration between all occupational/technical programs housed on the HCTC Technical Campus. Diploma program faculty will also continue to collaborate with general education faculty to ensure that practical application of material is covered in the student s required general education courses, which will enhance student learning. The traditional lab with larger industry stationary equipment, almost all new mobile tools and equipment for use on the jobsite, experienced faculty, as well as the new Smart Energy Training Center (lab with a house for live work) makes the Hazard Community and Technical College Construction Carpenter Diploma an excellent choice for students who want to obtain employment in the construction industry. The HCTC Construction Technology Program is the center piece that connects six programs together, all related to the construction industry. The program will directly impact student success in all related programs at HCTC. The Construction Technology Construction Carpenter Diploma will play a critical role in the modernization and diversification of the program. C. Program Demand/Unnecessary Duplication The Construction Carpenter Diploma will be duplicative within the Kentucky Community and Technical College System. The closest Construction Carpenter Diploma is offered at Big Sandy Community and Technical College which is almost two hours traveling time for most of the students HCTC serves. With enrollment of 13 students full time for the fall 2016 semester and the program having 15 students enrolled for spring 2017 classes, there will be sufficient demand for the diploma. D. Cost and Funding of the Proposed Program Facilities with two training labs, supplies, a supply budget, equipment, and tools already exist for the current program with all the certificates. Additional funding support is available through Carl D. Perkins grant and Kentucky Coal Academy funding. The current full-time temp faculty position with the program is already planned into next year s annual budget to move over to a full-time faculty position. This is the only additional resource needed for the diploma program. E. Program Review and Assessment All programs at HCTC undergo an in-depth annual program review. The results are used to recommend improvements related to direction and vision, teaching effectiveness, curriculum refinements, budget needs, facility usage, safe laboratory New Program Request Form 5

7 practice, and faculty and staffing requirements. The program will also conduct student surveys and evaluations, alumni surveys, and consultations with the regional advisory board. Assessments to evaluate instruction will be done through classroom surveys and faculty reviews. F. Conclusion The proposed Construction Carpenter Diploma is consistent with the missions of the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) and Hazard Community and Technical College and supports the statewide postsecondary education strategic agenda and the statewide strategic implementation plan. There is an existing approved curriculum for the program. Local and state needs support the establishment of the diploma. HCTC currently offers all courses required for the diploma, as well as all the embedded certificates within the diploma. A program evaluation plan is in place and HCTC requires minimum resources to implement the diploma to increase student success. New Program Request Form 6

There are no alternative methods of program delivery as of now, but the schedule of classes are designed to allow a student to still work in the evenings and all day Friday with some semesters including more time than others. This flexibility lets a student have the financial support needed to meet their family needs while enrolled in the program or perform internship/practicum as needed. New Program Request Form 28

30 C. Program Demand/Unnecessary Duplication Proposed programs must respond to the needs of the academy and to larger economic and social environments. Thus, the institution must demonstrate demand for the proposed program. All proposed programs must address student demand. Programs must also address either employer demand or academic disciplinary needs. 1. Student Demand: Clearly describe all evidence of student demand, typically in the form of surveys of potential students and/or enrollments in related programs at the institution. a. Provide evidence of student demand within your area of geographic responsibility as well as the state and national levels. With enrollment of 13 students during fall 2016 and now with 15 students for spring 2017 term, the demand for Construction Technology continues to be strong. At present, there are over 8,000 laid-off miners in the local workforce investment board s service area and HCTC serves the majority of the students. With the number of unemployed miners and veterans coming back to college, the demand is projected to remain strong. There is also current funding for miners and veterans to enroll in credential-seeking programs, including diplomas and certificates. The HCTC Construction Technology program appeals to a wide variety of students and has males, females and minorities currently enrolled. The high demand by students is in place with all current students planning to pursue the Construction Carpenter Diploma. Student surveys have been completed in several related HCTC programs with a total of 40 student surveys being returned with 98% stating they would be interested in obtaining the Carpenter Diploma to enhance their current skills and that the diploma might enhance their opportunities to find employment. A total of 55 surveys were completed by high school students attending related dual credit seek classes on campus. All 55 high school students reflected interest in obtaining the Carpenter Diploma. b. Identify the applicant pool and how they will be reached. The applicant pool includes high school students entering college as well as nontraditional students coming back to school, including those who have been unemployed from the massive mine layoffs in the local area. The Construction Carpenter Diploma will be marketed to local high school and area technology centers, as well as other community events through the HCTC recruiters. The instructor and dean will work with the HCTC Document Production Center to produce updated program information sheets that will include wage and salary information and information about the diploma and required courses. The program is an approved program in Accelerated Opportunities which will allow GED students more access to a college education; and the program will New Program Request Form 29

31 work closely with the Adult Education Center on campus to provide students with tutoring and testing services to promote success before, during and after the program. HCTC also has a strong partnership with its local workforce investment board, Eastern Kentucky Concentrated Employment Program (EKCEP). Constant contact with their career counselors will also allow for recruitment into the Construction Technology Construction Carpenter Diploma. c. Describe the student recruitment and selection process. The diploma is not a selective admissions program. It is an open access program and admission will be based on a first come, first serve basis until the program is full. Student recruitment for the program includes several activities such as: working closely with the area technology centers that serve eight counties in and around HCTC s service area for student success; instructor will participate in roadshow recruiting events and college career nights at local high schools; instructor will serve as a guest speaker to several classes throughout the HCTC service area and other counties as well; campus tours throughout the year; and several marketing items will be used to promote the Construction Carpenter Diploma such as radio ads, newspapers, TV commercials, and social media. d. Identify the primary feeders for the program. The primary feeders of the program include local area high schools and local area technology centers who have carpentry or similar construction trade programs. The pathways from secondary to post-secondary will allow many students to receive their college education through Construction Technology at HCTC. Another primary feeder is the miners who will have tuition covered through the local workforce investment board. Veterans are another group that continues to express interest in construction technology as they bring with them technical military experience. e. Provide any evidence of a projected net increase in total student enrollments to the campus as a result of the proposed program. The campus will not experience a very high increase in students on campus due to the fact that most of the students attracted would be those in construction technology working on certificates, but the diploma will allow them to continue into higher advanced classes in construction. The Construction Carpenter Diploma gives them an option that will assist them in becoming more employable with much more detailed skills through hands-on training. The campus will continue to gain enrollment through new students being attracted to the Construction Technology Construction Carpenter Diploma, such as all the high school graduates that attended one of the five area technology centers New Program Request Form 30

32 construction classes who continues their education at a post-secondary level at HCTC and also all the adults changing careers from the mining industry. HCTC currently offers all the certificates embedded within the diploma. f. Project estimated student demand for the first five years of the program. Academic Year Student Enrollment Projected Degrees/Diplomas Conferred A new group of students will enroll each fall, along with additional new students in the spring, thus allowing the program to graduate an average of 10 students each year. 2. Employer Demand: Clearly describe evidence of employer demand. Such evidence may include employer surveys, current labor market analyses, and future human resources projections. Where appropriate, evidence should demonstrate employers preferences for graduates of the proposed program over persons having alternative existing credentials and employers willingness to pay higher salaries to graduates of the proposed program. a. Describe the types of jobs available for graduates, average wages for these jobs, and the number of anticipated openings for each type of jobs in the institution s area of geographic responsibility. b. Describe the types of jobs available for graduates, average wages for these jobs, and the number of anticipated openings for each type of jobs in Kentucky. c. Describe the types of jobs available for graduates, average wages for these jobs, and the number of anticipated openings for each type of jobs at the national level. a. Graduates from the Construction Technology Construction Carpenter Diploma will be able to obtain employment in several various areas of the construction industry. Students can be employed through local contractors such as Lewis Brothers Construction Inc.; concrete contractors such as Wright Concrete, city and county departments; state departments; truss manufacturing companies such as Teague Metal and Trust; and be self-employed as a contractor throughout our community. The Construction Carpenter Diploma helps to meet the need to retrain the over 8,000 coal miners who are unemployed in the region. The Construction Technology program shares overlapping skills with the mining industry. These individuals are naturally drawn to the program but need the focus provided in the Construction Carpenter Diploma curriculum to make them more employable in the region, as well as statewide and nationwide. The program can lead to several careers in residential and light commercial construction, or get the New Program Request Form 31

33 student started in business as an independent contractor. This program is an excellent background for many other career options such as architect, engineer, building inspector, surveyor, construction manager, estimator and even plumbers and electricians. Support for the diploma strongly exists with all five of the Area Technology Centers that serves eight counties. The ATC Instructors know the diploma at HCTC will allow their high school students to continue their technical training at a post-secondary level close to home and the employment options the diploma can bring the students.

38 c. NATIONAL OCCUPATIONAL OUTLOOK ( Construction and Extraction Occupations: Employment of construction and extraction occupations is projected to grow 10 percent from 2014 to 2024, faster than the average for all occupations, increasing from 6.5 million jobs to 7.2 million jobs. Overall growth in the economy and population will increase demand for new buildings, roads, and other structures, which will create new job openings for construction and extraction occupations. The median annual wage for all construction and extraction occupations was $42,280 in May 2015, which was higher than the median annual wage for all occupations of $36,200. New Program Request Form 37

39 Construction Trades: New Program Request Form 38

40 3. Academic Disciplinary Needs: Clearly describe all evidence justifying a new program based on changes in the academic discipline or other academic reasons. a. If the proposed program is an advanced credential (diploma to AAS), explain the new practice or licensure requirements in the profession and/or requirements by specialized accrediting agencies that necessitate a new program. Although the state does not require any type of specialized licensure to practice in the field, students enrolled in the HCTC Construction Technology Construction Carpenter Diploma will be well prepared to enter the construction industry with advanced skills in rough and finish carpentry, cabinetry, interior finishing, exterior finishing, advanced blueprint reading knowledge, and overall knowledge to advance faster in the industry. The diploma will also allow graduates to have the option to continue their education towards a Bachelor of Science degree in Construction Management at Eastern Kentucky University as an example. Hazard Community and Technical College currently offers all courses required for the diploma, as well as all the embedded certificates within the diploma. The addition of the diploma is a natural progression and gives the program and students another option to place increased focus on advanced skills in the construction area. As the regional economy moves away from the coal industry, there is an increased need to offer the diploma as a career option for all the laid off coal miners and their experience allows them to relate directly with the construction industry. The new diploma will make students more employable throughout the state and nation. 4. Similar programs: A similar program is defined as a program with the same or closely related CIP code at the same degree level. A proposed program will not be considered unnecessarily duplicative if it serves a different student population than existing programs and/or if its curriculum is distinctive from that of existing programs at other public institutions in Kentucky. a. Identify similar programs in other SREB states and in the nation. Similar programs do exist in the state through the Kentucky Community and Technical College System. Big Sandy Community and Technical College offers the closest diploma in construction technology, but the drive for most students in the HCTC service area to get to where that diploma is located could be up to almost two hours. b. IF CPE records indicate similar programs exist in Kentucky, does the proposed program differ from existing programs in the state? If yes, please explain. The closest Construction Carpenter Diploma is offered at Big Sandy Community and Technical College which is almost two hours or more traveling time for most of the students HCTC serves. c. Does the proposed program serve a different student population (i.e., students in a different geographic area) from existing programs? If yes, please explain. New Program Request Form 39

41 The HCTC Construction Carpenter Diploma will serve students in the HCTC service area in the Kentucky River Area Development District region, including the counties of Breathitt, Lee, Wolfe, Owsley, Leslie, Perry and Knott. The diploma will be in-person classes and will allow students flexible schedule options in order for them to work or perform practicums while completing their diploma. d. Is access to existing programs limited? If yes, please explain. Access to other existing similar programs is limited. For students in our service area, the closest Construction Carpenter Diploma is offered at Big Sandy Community and Technical College which is almost two hours or more traveling time for most of the students HCTC serves. Most of the students HCTC serves cannot afford to attend private or out-of-state colleges. e. Is there excess demand for existing similar programs? If yes, please explain. There is not a waiting list, but there is strong enrollment (13 students completed courses in fall 2016 term and currently 15 students are enrolled in spring 2017 term). There is funding for coal miners to be retrained through the local workforce investment board and many men are coming back to college and are naturally drawn toward the technical fields. With over 8,000 miners unemployed in the region, HCTC expects demand for training to be strong for the next several years. Many of these miners are willing to relocate and are desiring training that is in a hands-on area that will lead them quickly to job placement. f. Is there collaboration between the proposed program and existing programs? Yes, there will be continued collaboration between all occupational/technical programs housed on the HCTC Technical Campus. Diploma program faculty will also continue to collaborate with general education faculty to ensure that practical application of material is covered in the students required general education courses, which will enhance student learning. The Construction Carpenter Diploma will be supported by the existing Construction Technology program. It will also be supported by HCTC s Air Conditioning Technology Program; Electrical Technology Program; CADD/Surveying Program; Heavy Equipment Program; and commercial truck driving (CDL) certificate. These programs are closely related to the construction industry and will offer high support of the diploma program in several ways through community service projects and professionals serving on the program advisory committees sharing their knowledge across all these programs. The college will not need additional funds to operate the program lab or supplies as everything is already in place. New Program Request Form 40

42 D. Cost and Funding of the Proposed Program The resource requirements and planned sources of funding of the proposed program must be detailed in order to assess the adequacy of the resources to support a quality program. This assessment is to ensure that the program will be efficient in its resource utilization and to assess the impact of this proposed program on the institution s overall need for funds. 1. Will this program require additional resources? Y or N If yes, provide a brief summary of additional resources that will be needed to implement this program over the next five years. Facilities, supplies, a supply budget, equipment, tools, and a full-time temp faculty already exist for the program. Additional funding is available through Kentucky Coal Academy and Perkins grant funding. The full-time temp faculty has already purchased several new pieces of equipment and tools for the program. Several program advisory committee members will be shared between existing construction industry related program advisory members and new construction carpentry advisory members from the industry will also be added to serve as the committee for the new Construction Technology Construction Carpenter Diploma. There are no additional resources needed for the program, except the faculty position is planned to be moved to full time faculty. 2. Will this program impact existing programs and/or organizational units within your institution? If yes, please describe the impact. The Construction Carpenter Diploma will continue to serve those students interested in Construction Technology. The new diploma option could attract additional students from other related programs in the construction industry. However, the primary enrollment will come from existing and newly enrolling Construction Technology students. Additional students from the region could become interested in the option, as well as possible out-of-state students. HCTC currently offers all of the courses required for the diploma and the certificates that are embedded within it, so the diploma is a natural progression and a viable option for students that will make them more employable in the region, state and nation. The new diploma will not replace any existing program options nor cause any changes in curriculum. 3. Provide adequate documentation to demonstrate sufficient return on investment to the state to offset new costs and justify approval for the proposed program. See Appendix B Cost/Funding Explanation Complete the following table for the first five years of the proposed program and provide an explanation of how the institution will sustain funding needs. *The total funding and expenses in the table should be the same, or explain sources(s) of additional funding for the proposed program. See Appendix B New Program Request Form 41

43 E. Program Review and Assessment Describe program evaluation procedures for the proposed program. These procedures may include evaluation of courses and faculty by students, administrators, and departmental personnel as appropriate. Program review procedures shall include standards and guidelines for the assessment of student outcomes implied by the program objectives and consistent with the institutional mission. Learning outcomes will be assessed by written assessment and hands-on assessments by the instructor. The instructor will utilize a check sheet when assessing the student hands-on activities and written assessments will be documented in the form of tests, research papers, etc. The instructor will also prepare a course assessment each term on various courses offered in the program. Upon the end of the term, the instructor will review his goals for the course and if the students did not meet the goals, the course may be adjusted accordingly to ensure course effectiveness. An end of program assessment will be given to students during their last semester of the Construction Carpenter Diploma Program. Improvements will also be made to the diploma based upon student performance on the exams. The diploma will be included in the overall evaluation of the Construction Technology Program which will be performed annually in a written program review report prepared by the Program Coordinator/Lead Instructor. The program review will examine enrollment, retention, completion and job placement/student success in the diploma program. 1.
