RFA #13-158 Deputy Sector Navigator Coast CCD Abstract Coast Community College District s (CCCD) proposal is for the ICT/Digital Media Deputy Sector Navigator is founded by the operational and professional resources that will be provided by the district and key talent of Mrs. Renah Wolzinger, a respected leader in Orange County with over 25 years of professional experience in both Digital Media and ICT. The CCCD in conjunction with Renah have developed a comprehensive plan to achieve measurable outcomes in ICT for Orange County. The CCCD s proposal has been designed to address the Doing What Matters strategic framework, concentrating on the labor market and industry strengths in the Orange County area, and designing a plan to gain alignment between Community College ICT/DM programs and Industry available jobs. The long term outcome of the plan for Orange county includes increased enrollment beginning in the K-12 system into an ICT pathway, increased enrollment in ICT/DM at the Community College level, completion of certificates and degree awards, industry certifications, increased transfer to University programs in ICT and Digital Media, and having a new industry consortium for this sector including industry champions that will help us with alignment between industry and education and provide industry certificates. The district has engaged in successful projects with the WIB, including training workers in the automotive sector in a Honda/BMW authorized training center on campus. The district is a partner and active participant in the Digital Media Arts Professional Learning Community, Regional Articulation events, and CTEoc, all which address connecting the entire K-16 system with employment. Outcomes for the ICT/DM Orange County sector will align with the Sector Navigator outcomes including: sharing OC regional data and determining strategic priorities, producing a gap analysis for OC, integrating industry competencies into curriculum, improving curriculum alignment between K-16 institutions, developing new OC business partnerships in the ICT/DM sector, establishing an OC ICT/DM Industry Consortium, creating exit level competencies at each education level, providing externships and training to OC educators to update curriculum and teaching methods, aligning community college programs with C-ID curriculum and Transfer Degrees, engaging contract education and the OC WIB to meet industry needs, and providing accountability data for the Launch-Board portal to share data statewide. iii

RFA #13-158 Coast CCCD Deputy Sector Navigator Need 1. Size, common characteristics of the businesses and workforce: Size: According to the latest Doing What Matters report for Orange County, there are 10,473 online job postings for direct ICT jobs, including software developers, computer programmers, and web developers. There are a projected 26,625 jobs in Orange County in 2,103 businesses in Computer Systems Design and Related Services. The LA/OC region has been designated as a hot spot in ICT, with over 70,000 jobs in the region in 2011. This is the number one region for ICT jobs in the state of California. In 2012 alone there were 8,766 job openings and 76,948 total jobs for Computer Support Specialists in California, a job that requires a minimum education level of Associate Degree. (Doing What Matter for Jobs & The Economy, Regional Labor Market Profile, Orange County, April 2012). The size of the ICT education in the LA/OC region is: Four community college districts Coast, North Orange County, South Orange County, and Rancho Santiago. There are 9 community colleges in OC. There are a total of 606 public elementary, middle and high schools in Orange County. There are 12 unified school districts, 3 union high school districts, and 13 elementary school districts. There are 4 ROPs operating in Orange County: Coastline, Central County, North and Capistrano-Laguna Beach. The public universities in Orange County are CSU Fullerton, and UC Irvine. The community colleges in Orange County also feed into CSU Long Beach, located in LA County. The LAEDC (Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation) posted a report November 2012: The Entertainment Industry and the Los Angeles County Economy. Although this is not in Orange County, many of our students obtain jobs in this sector upon program completion, as it is the largest economic sector in our neighboring county. In 2011, there were over 13,000 businesses in this sector and the average employment for the Motion Picture and Video Related Sectors was 117,841 jobs, with $11.3 billion in payroll. This sector is one of the largest in terms of both economic impact and jobs in the region. Characteristics: The ICT sector includes converging computer software, networking and telecommunications, internet applications, programming and information systems technology. The Digital Media sector includes video and audio applications, graphic design, web development, and the integration of digital techniques in business and industry. Both of these areas cross into all other sectors, as every industry uses computer and digital based technologies as part of normal business today. The ICT/Digital media area is rapidly converging and jobs are diverse. Community colleges will need to encompass this integration of skills to train the workforce for this changing technology. 1
RFA #13-158 Coast CCCD Deputy Sector Navigator ICT jobs are in a changing state. Many jobs require a 4-year degree, and the new AA-S Computer Science transfer major is an example of efficiently preparing and transferring community college students to Universities to enter at a Junior status to complete their education for these jobs. In Orange County there is are large industry sectors in Manufacturing and Healthcare. Both of these industries rely heavily on ICT/DM trained workers. Medical Manufacturers must have all computer systems validated for any FDA approved product. They also need Digital Images of medical, biology and anatomy related items. The ICT/DM fields of study can add stackable certificates to address specific high-growth industry needs. In small business in Orange County, there are high growth areas in website development, media content, app design, computer database development and management and social media. There is an enormous opportunity in Orange County to connect small businesses with qualified jobs applicants, exiting a community college in the ICT/DM sector. Competitors: Competitors in ICT are from other states, countries, and private institutions. Competitors in the education market for the ICT and Digital Media sectors are private 4- year Universities including Chapman University, Art Institute and National University. Currently there are numerous programs in the Orange County community colleges that are named with various titles and are designed differently. This can be confusing for both students and employers. Private schools in the area have a clear marketing and messaging system, however do not have transferability or affordability. Industry Associations: ICT/Digital Media associations and user groups in Orange County are numerous, including software originated by Apple, Cisco, Microsoft, Adobe, Sony, Panasonic, and Canon. Large annual conferences such as NAMM (The National Association of Music Merchandisers), NAB (The National Association of Broadcasters), and SXSW (South by Southwest) provide the latest on industry products, trends and innovations. Community college faculty and technical staff attend industry conferences, such as those listed above. The conferences are an excellent source for industry alignment and best training practices. Education Partners: Orange County benefits from having very strong CTEoc and LA/OC regional consortiums. These bodies encompass both K-16 and community college CTE faculty, administrators and directors. In addition, Orange County holds Regional Advisory Meetings in order to align industry professionals with education competencies. More work needs to be done at these advisories to align community college degrees and certificates with Orange County ICT/DM industry. Orange County also participates with the area ROP and High schools which by a large margin have Digital Media as their largest CTE area. The OC region is a leader in the state of HS/CC articulations in Computer Science, Game Design, and Digital Media Courses. 2
RFA #13-158 Coast CCCD Deputy Sector Navigator Projected Growth: The prospect for positive outcomes in this industry sector is high, as there is an identified need for workers, and many programs available. There is a strong need to align the activities in education with the needs of industry, as ICT is a multi-faceted industry with overlapping interdisciplinary studies in the education setting, as stated in the 2012 ICT Environmental Scan report. The ICT workforce in CA in 2011 was 1.2 million across all industries. There are an expected 30K new ICT workforce jobs in CA for 2013 through 80K job openings (MPICT report). Supply and Demand Gap: There is a supply and demand gap in the region s workforce. There is an expected significant job grow approaching 20% from 2006 to 2016 (MPICT) with about a 1.2 million ICT jobs in California in 2011. The Community Colleges (2010/2011) awarded 994 ICT related AS/AA degrees, 1919 ICT related credit for academic certificates, and 264 non-credit certificates. This falls far short of the expected growth of 30K jobs per year. According to the latest Doing What Matters report for Orange County, there are 10,473 online job postings for direct ICT jobs, including software developers, computer programmers, and web developers. There are a projected 26,625 jobs in Orange County in 2,103 businesses in Computer Systems Design and Related Services. The LAOC region has been designated as a hot spot in ICT, with over 70,000 jobs in the region in 2011. This is the number one region for ICT jobs in the state of California. In 2012 alone there were 8,766 job openings and 76,948 total jobs for Computer Support Specialists in California, a job that requires a minimum education level of Associate Degree. (Doing What Matter for Jobs & The Economy, Regional Labor Market Profile, Orange County, April 2012). According to the MPICT study there is an immediate need to align the ICT sector. As ICT/DM areas have grown in industry and education, the definitions of programs, courses, competencies, skills gaps, and framework need to be established in order to successfully train the workforce, and match industry with trained individuals. 2. Curricular challenges: In the Orange County regional ICT/DM sector there is a current skills gap between available workforce and employer needs. The MPICT report shows a 42% increase in IT skills gaps. Part of this problem is the numerous job titles and descriptions coming from industry that do not match to the numerous certificates and degrees in education. This also makes it extremely difficult to create efficient articulation and transfer options for students between the community colleges and universities. The DOL IT Competency Model shown in the MPICT study provides a 6-layer competency model needed for IT workers. Employers surveyed agreed on the following items: there needs to be a structured ICT competency model, ICT related credentials held by community college students would help in the hiring process, hiring models are needed to match competencies, a digital literacy standard needs to be established and 3
RFA #13-158 Coast CCCD Deputy Sector Navigator part of basic education, and soft skills are needed by employees. The MPICT report addressed skills gaps in California; this report would be the launching point to address skills gaps in the Orange County region. Skills gaps in education and training need to be analyzed in the K-12 system, High Schools/ROP and community colleges. The DSN would work collaboratively with all regional institutions to determine the most effective way to close the gap. Industry partners covering all of the competency areas shown in the DOL IT Competency model would be identified to form an OC ICT Industry Consortium. This consortium would work on streamlining workforce needs and job title communication with education competencies, academic awards and certifications. Stackable certificates will be an added feature of this model. Courses not currently covered by an institution but identified as a need by the industry consortium could be added to a core certificate as a stackable course or courses. Those models would include courses that prepare students for industry certification exams or lead to an ICT certification. These stackable certificates will be at the community college level, falling above the High School diploma level and below the upper division University level. Incumbent workers who are currently working but need to receive training for new ICT areas will be handled in credit, not for credit, or contract education courses. The credit courses may be more costly depending on the upcoming unit cap for community college students in California. Not-for-credit or contract education courses can be developed faster, as these models are handled outside of the community college curriculum development and approval process. 3. Discuss the inventory of organizations and plans to leverage assets: Orange County has several strong organizations inside and outside of the community college system that are currently active. The Deputy Sector Navigator will work with these organizations and use mini-grants provided by the sector navigator to advance implementation of sector strategies. These organizations handle multiple industry sectors any therefore many are not specific to ICT. CTEoc is an organization consisting of K-16 administrators across all CTE sectors. The Regional Advisories hosted by Vital Link OC has regional advisory meetings that include industry experts, high school and CC faculty, ROPs, and articulation partners. These regional advisories are industry specific, although ICT encompasses more than one area currently being offered. Career Café offers degree and career matching online tools. The Los Angeles Orange County Regional Consortium is a consortium of all of the Community Colleges in regions 7 and 8. The California Workforce Investment Board (WIB) partners with the Community Colleges as a workforce development partner, and also houses the Centers of Excellence, which recently completed the ICT Model Study. There are several existing assets in Orange County. There are four SB-70 grants covering activities such as pathway days, curriculum development, articulation agreements, and bridge programs. The Department of Labor recently awarded Orange 4
RFA #13-158 Coast CCCD Deputy Sector Navigator County a 3 million dollar grant for the ICT sector. The Workforce Innovation Fund (WIF) has a goal of adopting new practices for education and workforce partners to work together. The Information Technology Cluster Competitiveness Project will implement a new approach for engaging business and education stakeholders in an intensive planning process concerning the education and training needs of companies in information technology across Orange County. (OC WIB, 2013) There are several existing hubs that serve the Orange County area. The California Community College Economic and Workforce Development program lists two areas that pertain to ICT: Interactive and Mobile Applications for Business, and Business and Entrepreneurship. The iima4biz Initiative helps to establish curriculum and knowledge to help businesses and the workforce meet the new technology challenge of adoption of interactive internet and mobile applications. The iima4biz Centers includes the Orange County Digital Media Center in Anaheim, and two centers outside of Orange County. The Business and Entrepreneurship Center Program (BEC) works to create strategic partnerships with businesses, industry and community organization to identify and meet area economic needs. BEC has a center at Rancho Santiago CCD in Santa Ana, as well as six other centers outside of Orange County. 4. Effective regional communication and collaboration: Orange County currently has the Los Angeles/Orange County Regional Consortium which is comprised of Deans and Directors of Career and Technical Education and Economic Development Programs, and the CTEoc consortium which is the Orange County regional collaborative consisting of all CTE leadership from K-12 school districts, ROP s and Community Colleges. Existing organizations connecting the workforce and education and WIB also play critical roles in regional advisory meetings, workforce development, industry connections, community college pathway days, articulations, and K-12 career connections. A sub-committee for ICT could be created between these entities that reports back to the LA/OC consortium. This subcommittee would align the activities of the organizations in the area, and be heavily involved in aligning the needs of industry with education courses and awards. 5
RFA #13-158 RESPONSE Coast CCCD Deputy Sector Navigator 1. The Deputy Sector Navigator (DSN) will work collaboratively in a network comprised of the statewide Sector Navigator and other DSNs within the sector. The DSN will work with the Co-Chairs of the Regional Consortia to align the needs of the sector employers with the program and curriculum offered by the colleges. The DSN will work with the Regional Consortium and the individual colleges to develop faculty collaboratives, connect programs and employers and promote and strengthen curriculum and program alignment. The DSN will meet with the other ICT/DM DSNs in California and the Sector Navigator to see where there are commonalities in other geographical and economic regions, and help define and align the common needs of the ICT sector across the state. The DSN will participate with the regional DSN s and Sector Navigator on the statewide shared ICT/Digital Media Web Portal. The DSN will provide information pertaining to the Orange County region on gap analysis, industry reports, workforce trends, skill needs, and labor market studies for the ICT/DM sector. The DSN will also work with the same group, targeting the community colleges in Orange County to implement course and program alignment, and shared curriculum assets. The DSNs will identify ICT areas that are the same and unique to each sector. These include any certificates, AA degrees, industry certifications, and transfer pathways from the community college. This effort will coincide with the development of a regional ICT consortium of industry representatives the Orange County ICT Industry Consortium (OCICTIC) to review the information in the recently released Center of Excellence and MPICT report as a tool for defining the competencies required, identifying skills gaps, and informing curriculum development at all education and skill levels in the local region. Building on relationships previously established through the existing regional consortia efforts, the DSN will diversify and strengthen the new OCICTIC by conducting an inventory of regional employers, with the help of the Centers of Excellence, using NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) data to find both large and small ICT sector businesses in Orange County to join the OCICTIC. The DSN will work with the LA/OC regional consortium chair to create and host ICT and DM faculty collaboratives. Areas of focus will be curriculum alignment with industry needs including integration of specific industry competencies required at the community college exit point, curriculum alignment between the colleges, curriculum alignment between high schools, ROPs and colleges, and strengthening relationships between high schools and community colleges. Activities will be conducted to encourage alignment between institutions. These will include exploration of using the same texts and resources in articulated courses in high schools and the community colleges, and having externship days for high school instructors at the community college ICT programs. In Year Two, the DSN would work with educators to develop curricular changes to address skills gaps, including stackable certificates and industry certifications. Regional articulation of the stackable certificates and industry certifications will also be explored in Year 2. 6
RFA #13-158 Coast CCCD Deputy Sector Navigator The DSN will facilitate partnerships with the OC community colleges and industry partners in ICT/DM. The ICT/DM DSN will work with existing OC networks including CTEoc, LA/OC Consortium, WIB, ATEP, and ROP. The DSN has current relationships with these entities from prior work on SB70 projects and CTE Transitions. 2. The Deputy Sector Navigator will work with employers, industry and labor organizations and Workforce Investment Boards within the region to determine gaps in the workforce promote integration of workforce training and employment, strengthen regional college and high school programs, provide incumbent worker training, promote opportunities for contract education and faculty professional growth and promote and support growth of the sector in the region. The DSN will identify employers with the help of the Centers of Excellence to pull NAICS data (North American Industry Classification System). This data will be used to find business that fit into the ICT model for both large and small companies in Orange County. The DSN will cultivate relationships with the ICT/DM employers in Orange County and the Sector Navigator to get information on skills needed for current ICT or DM employment. This collaboration will be directed at outreach and recruitment, and curriculum development and industry alignment. The DSN will also develop an Orange County ICT/DA Industry Consortium (OCICTIC) to validate Industry-Wide Technical Competencies, Management and Occupation- Specific competencies, as well as workforce competencies as described in the MPICT report. The DSN will work with the industry consortium to identify and prioritize skills gaps not being covered by the community colleges in the region. Gap identification and prioritization will occur in year one, and will inform changes in subsequent years. The DSN will work with the ICT teams to create a list of competencies that need to be completed at each exit level from an educational institution, from middle school, high school, community college to university. The competency list on the MPICT report will be used as a base for this discussion. From that list the group will create ICT certifications at each exit level, which if attained shows that the student meets the criteria defined by the identified competencies at that education level. The DSN will work with the Sector Navigator to create a competency list of ICT skills for the state, to be used by the California Community College system. The DSN will work with ICT/DM employers, community colleges and the OC WIBs to develop or offer industry credentials and certifications in each ICT sector. There are many existing industry certifications in computer software, media creation, and several other ICT areas. The DSN will work with the OCICTIC to identify credentials and certifications important for employees in the ICT workplace, and conduct an inventory of current offerings of these credentials in Orange County. 7
RFA #13-158 Coast CCCD Deputy Sector Navigator The DSN will be heavily engaged in regional/faculty advisory meetings. The DSN will continue to build and strengthen relationships between the regional high schools and community colleges and work with the CTEoc Executive Committee to include more community college-centric activities in the existing CTEoc-hosted Regional Advisory Committee meetings. Areas of focus will be curriculum alignment with industry needs, curriculum alignment between the colleges, curriculum alignment between high schools, ROP and colleges, and integration of specific industry competencies required at the high school and community college exit points. The DSN will inventory all contract education in Orange County in Year One, and identify existing barriers to integrating contract education into for-credit education. The DSN will create a program to have the community education administrators and faculty attend an externship to area University Extension programs. The goal is to provide a fundamental change in the community college-based community education to become closer to the University Extension programs, where students can take courses which can later be transferred into a for-credit program. The University extension courses, which are transferrable, are taught by University faculty from the for-credit side, and fees charged are appropriate to cover costs and faculty salaries. The DSN will develop a presentation of community college ICT/DM offerings in Orange County for employers, industry, and the sector navigator to promote contract education at all Orange County community colleges. Professional development will be identified for ICT/DM faculty, counselors and supporting staff. There have been several of these efforts successfully executed with coordination between industry, educators, and the CTEoc Consortium. These foundational relationships will be used to provide gap skills to the educators to reflect needs identified by the OCICTIC. Leading indicators of curriculum alignment to labor market needs The DSN will compile a list of specific skills that can be aligned with programs and courses, as identified by the OC ICT Industry Consortium, for each level of education. In the first year, the DSN will identify and prioritize the skills gaps in the region. Currently a general certification for ICT does not exist in the community colleges in Orange County. A skills analysis will lead to development of employer-recognized certifications at each education level. 3. Gaps within the workforce will be identified and prioritized and strategies developed and implemented using SB 1402 and/or SB 1070 funding to integrate the needs of employers and address within curriculum and programs the job skills and competencies required for employment and advancement. 8
RFA #13-158 Coast CCCD Deputy Sector Navigator The DSN will create a summary report for ICT/CM capacity and gaps for Orange County, identifying ICT/DM programs that are successful based on enrollment, completion, employment and transfer. These programs will become models for the region. Additionally, the DSN will identify colleges with ICT/Digital Media courses that have C-ID codes (C-ID refers to identified courses which are transferable and articulated to a 4-year institution) to use as county leads for community college program regional alignment and articulation. The DSN will then develop ICT/DM roadmaps, mapping the K-16 pathways to recruit students into these programs, including ICT/DM experiences in K-12 facilities. The DSN will develop a strategic plan for the Orange County region, incorporating the skills gap analysis study, existing certificates, articulation agreements, stackable credentials, short-term non-credit skills training, existing pathway structures with four year institutions, enrollment and completion data, and transfer data for ICT/Digital Media students. This study will be used to establish baselines for performance measures in Orange County, to determine regional priorities, and to better align industry and education. The DSN will work with the LA/OC Regional Consortium Chair to engage Community College CTE faculty and deans to implement the sector strategies. The DSN will work with regional faculty to create critical ICT/DM courses as identified by the OCICTIC, that students may take from any college in the system offering the program. This will enable the region to incorporate identified skills in a shorter time period. A new model of inter-college articulation in the community college system will be explored to enable students to take courses as part of a certificate or degree program not offered at the home college. This articulation will be between community colleges only; this does not preclude any college from developing missing or gap courses, but rather fills a void needed immediately as identified in the ICT sector. The DSN will work with faculty and articulation officers throughout the county on C-ID curriculum alignment for the new Transfer Model Curriculum for the ICT/DM areas. This important effort will align programs adopting this model with the state model, and will allow students who complete these awards to more easily transfer to the California State University system. The transfer curriculum will also be a common model to use when speaking with industry and hiring agencies. The DSN will work with the Sector Navigator and the LA/OC Regional Consortia Chair to offer mini-grant proposals within Orange County. These mini-grants will be designed to incorporate common metrics and accountability measures to form Collaborative and Sector Partnerships. The main emphasis will be on four common measures: enrollment in ICT/CM programs, degree or certificate completions, employment into ICT/DM occupations, and transfer to four-year ICT/DM programs. The DSN will work with the LA/OC Regional Consortium to provide professional development opportunities in the ICT sector for Orange County in industry-identified critical areas. Externships will be conducted between the educational institutions, and also between industry and education. This will aid in alignment between secondary and 9
RFA #13-158 Coast CCCD Deputy Sector Navigator post secondary ICT education, as well as community college and industry. The DSN will hold and annual mixer event in the spring to include ICT faculty and industry partners. This will facilitate current and future relationships in the ICT sector. The DSN will work with the Sector Navigator to make sure these activities are properly aligned with activities ongoing in ICT statewide. In order to help promote awareness and increase the number of interested students pursuing ICT/DM pathways, the DSN will develop ICT/DM roadmaps, outlining the K-16 pathways to recruit students into these programs, including ICT/DM experiences in K-12 facilities. The DSN will provide outreach and recruitment to engage students into ICT/DM programs. In Year 2, the DSN will recruit industry champions from the OCICTIC who will work with secondary schools and community colleges to provide internships, host skills competitions and provide awards sponsored by their ICT or Digital Media company. Leading indicators of curriculum alignment to labor market needs Articulation agreements are formed to bring high school students into a CTE pathway. The designated DSN has a proven success in creating a high number of articulation agreements with high schools and ROP s. The ICT/DM model brings a new opportunity to align skills designated by industry with education at each level. Articulation of courses, especially those that carry an ICT/DM certificate or credential, will be a high priority for articulation in the system. AA-T and AS-T development for Transfer degrees to Universities will also be a priority in this sector as they become available, for students who choose to transfer to a 4-year institution. Year two brings an opportunity to develop C-ID numbers for common ICT/DM related courses in the OC community colleges. This will be the basis for inter college articulation, which will be used to fill skills gaps identified by the industry consortium. The DSN will develop inter-college articulation aided by use of C-ID numbers and ability to award credit for courses taken in an ICT program at another college other than the awarding institution. Opportunities for stackable certificates will be identified, especially when they address skills gaps and industry certifications. 4. The Deputy Sector Navigator will work with representatives of business, labor, and professional trade associations to develop and implement courses and programs to train incumbent workers in the regional industry sector. Curriculum will be offered through a variety of methods including credit, non-credit, or contract education. The DSN will work with the newly formed Orange County ICT Industry Consortium (OCICTIC) and area workforce development partners to identify the ICT training needs of incumbent workers and align those needs with existing credit, non-credit, and contract education offerings. Where training gaps are found the DSN will facilitate the development of training programs appropriate to remedy those gaps as efficiently and 10
RFA #13-158 Coast CCCD Deputy Sector Navigator effectively as possible based on regional colleges strengths and resources. As an example, the Advanced Technology and Education Park (ATEP) in SOCCCD currently offers not-for-credit training in computer aided design while the NOCCCD School of Continuing Education offers training in quality improvement processes; these complementary manufacturing and product development skill sets can be coordinated to serve the county-wide region. The DSN will work with the WIB and One-Stop Centers to identify and train incumbent workers at Orange County community colleges. Training for incumbent workers will be consistent with best practices, including utilizing a cohort model and 8-week sessions for this group. In Year One, the DSN will identify programs in the community colleges in Orange County where a cohort model will be a good fit. The DSN will work with industry and the campuses to offer contract education where there is an identified need. Credit/non-credit ICT/DM courses will be offered. The ICT/DM sector in Orange County will utilize existing courses for credit in the community colleges, non-credit courses in community and adult education centers, and contract education in existing centers across the OC region. The DSN may address some of these skills gaps immediately using contract education, with the advantage that the course does not have the 1-2 year development period needed for curriculum approval. The DSN will develop a presentation of community college ICT/DM offerings in Orange County for employers, industry, and the sector navigator to promote incumbent worker training at all Orange County community colleges. 5. The Deputy Sector Navigator will collect and report data on all required accountability measures working with common metrics and accountability measures, and working with the statewide Launch-Board initiative. The DSN will collect and report any relevant data directly generated from DSN activities and report them via the statewide Launch-Board Initiative. Additionally, all grant activities will be detailed through quarterly reports encompassing the work completed or in progress. The DSN will facilitate county-wide discussions on collecting and reporting data required to meet accountability measures. The DSN will work with the Regional Consortia to engage early adopters in the Orange County region, who will create and pilot the models to collect individual student data on enrollment, completion, transfer and employment, and will gather and publicize best practices for collecting data for the student momentum points. The DSN will assist community colleges in Orange County with data posting requirements of the statewide Launch-Board initiative. 11

Describe the Deputy Sector Navigator s past successes in creating educational products and/or services that address skills gaps for industry, including but not limited to development and adoption of curriculum (be sure to highlight any experience at the community college level). What were the goals? What were the outcomes attributable to the Deputy Sector Navigator s efforts? Renah created a new Certificate and AA degree in Digital Media at Golden West College. The college identified a need to develop a new program in Digital Media to address the interdisciplinary nature of Digital Media and align the program with industry needs. Renah wrote the curriculum while consulting industry experts, and presented the program to LOWDL where it was approved. In research with companies in Orange County, she found that media skills in video, audio and design were now required by employers, however the College had programs that did not combine disciplines. Faculty and industry were brought together in local and regional meetings to realign the education component with current industry needs. The College now has a full Digital Media program with three certificates and an AA degree. Renah created a new certificate in Biotechnology Design. This certificate came directly from a grant-funded program to address a current ICT/DM industry need in Orange County in the Healthcare sector. Renah met and trained in industry with identified faculty from ROP, High School and Community College ICT/DM programs. She followed the Design process and interviewed several industry members to create a prominent video regarding the needs of the sector. She wrote a new certificate program with a faculty team and industry experts and completed the Curriculum Council approval process. Students completing this certificate will fill the void of designers needed in the medical ICT sector, creating 2-D and 3-D Digital Biotech and Medical designs. As Department Chair Renah managed the new AS-T degree development in Computer Science at Golden West College, approved April 2013. This AS-T will be one of the first 30
in the Orange County region that streamlines a student s transfer path to a 4-year institution, where they will enter as a Junior in an ICT major. 3. Describe how the Deputy Sector Navigator has taken a leadership role in creating a vision, identifying opportunities, and acquiring resources to organize cross-organizational and cross-functional teams to achieve a common set of goals. Renah took a leadership role in recognizing that ICT/DM students would be more competitive if they received industry certifications. She was accepted at Apple to attend high-level courses to become a Certified Master Trainer. She wrote several grants to develop labs that could be Apple Certified to train students. She was awarded the level of Master Trainer by Apple and became a teacher and proctor for Apple software. She worked with the Coast Community College legal department to have GWC become an AACTE Apple Authorized Center for Training in Education. This program now runs each semester and Digital Media students more successfully obtain employment as Apple Certified End Users. Renah took a leadership role in creating an education planner and audit software for CTE students. On a five-year project, Renah led a team to develop www.coastpathways.com. This tool was identified as a way to develop an online education plan for students, and also audit students to determine how far they are from completing a degree or certificate. This tool has made a positive impact on award completions in CTE, and is currently being used by students, counselors and administrators to help students achieve their education goals. It also is a critical tool used for enrollment management, tracking what courses, majors and certificates are taken by students and what courses are needed for completion. Renah took a leadership role in developing articulation agreements. GWC had only 3 agreements in place when Renah took on this task. She developed relationships with CTE leaders and industry leaders in her region, as well as numerous faculty in the K-16 system. Building relationship ladders, Renah was able to develop over 60 articulation agreements between CTE programs in ROP and High Schools and Golden West College. She has posted all agreements on the statewide pathways site for access by all stakeholders. Her process combining digital technology with relationship building has led to a very successful model for the College to use for maintaining and further developing high school to college course articulations. 4. Describe the Deputy Sector Navigator s experience in outcome-centric environments/projects with strong emphasis on data collection, performance baselining, measurement, reporting and analysis. Renah has been the CTE Transitions coordinator and SB70 Professional Expert for Golden West College for 5 years. She has reported monthly based on an established work plan. Each assignment identifies clear projects, goals, timelines, data reporting, 31
and outcomes. Large projects in this area have been the course articulation project resulting in over 60 articulation agreements, private university transfer agreements, student internships, and industry-indentified curriculum development. 5. Describe how the Deputy Sector Navigator will manage the project in order to leverage personnel, in-kind funding and network connections for project success. The Deputy Sector Navigator will manage the project from the Coast Community College District office, under the direction of Andreea Serban, Vice Chancellor of Educational Services and Technology, and Dejah Swingle, the Educational and Grant Services Coordinator at the Coast Community College District. Funds from the ICT/DM Sector provided to the Orange County region by the Statewide navigator will be used for workgroups to progress regional objectives. ICT and Digital Media collaborative in Orange County to find early adopters for ICT/DM course alignment ICT and DM work groups to develop College to College articulated courses, certification exams and CI-D course approvals Partner with Healthcare and Manufacturing in Orange County to produce hybrid ICT/DM curriculum and stackable certificates for those high demand areas. Partner with the LA/OC Regional consortium, High School CTE leaders and ROP directors in Orange County to strengthen ICT/DM pathways from secondary to community college, improve outreach, provide career exploration, and recruit students into ICT/DM programs. Partner with the LA/OC Regional consortium to create a collaborative focused on improving ICT/DM pathways from community college to 4-year institutions in Orange County. 6. For those Deputy Sector Navigators who currently are operating from fixed asset facilities previously developed with EWD funding (previously center grants), describe how you will utilize those assets in fulfilling the regional objectives of this grant. The identified Deputy Sector Navigator is not currently operating from a fixed asset facility previously developed with EWD funding, and therefore will not utilize EWD funded assets. 32
