Scope Data compiled in this report covers San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange, and Los Angeles counties. Data were drawn from external sources, including the Employment Development Department s California Labor Market Information and the U.S. Department of Education s Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), and Chaffey College s Colleague Administrative database. Data Sources and Calculations Educational Program Data TOP Code Program of Study 1240.10 Dental Assistant The Taxonomy of Programs (TOP) is a standardized system used at the state level to classify programs and courses that are intended to achieve the same outcome at California Community Colleges. CIP Code Program of Study 51.0601 Dental Assisting/Assistant The Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) is a standardized coding system used at the federal level to facilitate accurate tracking, assessment, and reporting of fields of study and program completion at educational institutions throughout the country. The CIP title and code associated with the Dental Assistant TOP Code is Dental Assisting/Assistant, 51.0601. All educational program data in this report are based on these TOP and CIP codes. Completions Data Degree and certificate data regarding students at Chaffey College were collected from the Colleague Administrative database. Degree and certificate data for all comparison schools were collected from the U.S. Department of Education s Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). All comparison institutions included in this report are postsecondary and have provided data to IPEDS. IPEDS defines postsecondary education as a formal program designed primarily for students beyond high school age. These include academic, vocational, and continuing professional education, and exclude avocational and adult basic education programs. Occupational Data SOC Code Occupational Title 31.9091 25.1071 Health Specialties Teachers, Postsecondary The Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system is used by federal statistical agencies to classify workers into occupational categories. The SOC codes and titles associated with the Dental Assisting TOP Code through the crosswalk described below are 31.9091 and 25.1071 - Health Specialties Teacher, Postsecondary. However, because the minimum educational requirement for Postsecondary Health Specialties Teacher is a Master s degree, labor market data for this occupation were not included in this report. Dental Assisting Needs Assessment Page 2

Educational Program to Occupation Crosswalk The TOP-CIP-SOC Crosswalk (Employment Development Department, 2009) was used in this report to map California Community College-specific Taxonomy of Program (TOP) codes to federal Classification of Instructional Program (CIP) and Standard Occupational Classifications (SOC) codes. This crosswalk allows the user to estimate labor market demand for California Community College program completers using SOC based projections from the Labor Market Information Division. Industry Data The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is used by federal statistical agencies to classify business establishments for the purpose of conducting and reporting research on the U.S. business economy. Using the Standard Occupational Classification codes listed above, associated NAICS industries were identified. Dental Assisting Needs Assessment Page 3

Introduction and Contents Contents Background Information 5 Regional Job Outlook 6 Largest and Fastest Growing Industry Employers 8 Regional Graduation Summary 10 Chaffey College s Performance on Core Indicators 12 Purpose and Goals Chaffey College currently offers 4 foundational courses toward the completion of an Associate s degree in Dental Assisting. Specifically, students must earn 24 semester units for their Associate in Science degree. The 2015-2016 College Catalog Dental Assisting program description reads as follows: The Dental Assisting program is accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation and Dental Board of the State of California. The program features full-time, part-time, and fast-track schedules. The full-time schedule is completed in one year. The part-time schedule must be completed within three years of continuous enrollment. The fast-track schedule is completed in a shorter time depending on student and clinical availability. Students receive a comprehensive education including dental sciences, hands-on practice laboratory, dental radiation safety certification, coronal polishing and sealant certificates, clinical experience in a community dental practice, state-ofthe-art technology, dental business management preparation, and familiarity with dental specialty practices. Students completing the program are eligible to take the Dental Assisting National Board Examination Certified Dental Assistant (CDA) as well as the Registered Dental Assistant Examination (RDA). Graduates are eligible for employment in private dental practices, clinics, and hospitals as assistants, technicians, and dental practice management positions. The purpose of this report is to integrate and analyze data from multiple sources to determine labor market needs for the Dental Assisting program at Chaffey College. Regional Definitions Inland Empire includes the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) Los Angeles County includes the Los Angeles- Long Beach-Glendale Metropolitan Division Orange County includes the Santa Ana- Anaheim-Irvine Metropolitan Division Key Terms and Concepts Replacement Jobs: Replacement jobs refer to the number of job openings due to workers leaving an occupation. Annual Openings: Annual openings are calculated by adding the number of new jobs to the number of replacement jobs, divided by the number of years in the projection period. Projections: Projections of employment are calculated by the Employment Development Department and are based on a mathematical formula that includes historical employment and economic indicators along with national, state, and local trends. Occupation: Jobs are grouped into occupations using the federal Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system. Industry: Occupations are grouped into industries using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Wages: Hourly wages are reported in percentiles and averages. The 25th percentile is a useful proxy of entry-level wages and the 75th percentile of experienced-level wages. Dental Assisting Needs Assessment Page 4

Regional Graduation Summary Education and Training 1 There are several paths to becoming a Dental Assistant. While some states have no formal education requirements, with acquiring skills through on-the-job training, other states require assistants to graduate from an accredited program and pass a state exam. Most programs take about 1 year to complete and lead to a certificate or diploma; two-year programs leading to an associate s degree are less common. Both certificate and degree programs are typically offered by community colleges. To become certified, must pass the Certified Dental Assistant (CDA) exam from the Dental Assisting National Board (DANB). Regional Completers in Dental Assisting Programs The table below displays the number of program completers in the 2013-14 academic year at regional institutions offering Dental Assisting programs.

Chaffey College s Performance on Core Indicators The Perkins IV Career and Technical Education Improvement Act of 2006 mandates that all state and local postsecondary institutions provide data on six core performance indicators for their career and technical education programs. These indicators are: 1) Technical Skill Attainment; 2) Completions; 3) Persistence and Transfer; 4) Employment; 5) Nontraditional Participation; and 6) Nontraditional Completion. Performance goals are set at the state and local levels and progress is monitored based on a comparison between the actual percentage of students who master each performance area and the negotiated levels of performance. 2014-2015 Chaffey College Performance on Core Indicators The table below displays negotiated and actual core performance indicator levels for all Chaffey College students classified under the Dental Assisting TOP code.
