Basic Skills State-Supported Courses
Fall 2009 through Fall 2013
Basic Skills: In fall 2013, the majority (60 percent)
of basic skills classes were English as a second
language (ESL). Adult Basic Education (ABE),
serving the needs of adults with literacy skills below
the ninth grade level, was 25 percent of basic skills.
High School Equivalency (HSE) was 12 percent and
High School Completion represented one percent.
The remainder of instruction included goal-setting
classes and some workplace basic skills.
Colleges reduced instruction in ABE and Other, and
increased FTES in ESL, HSE, and High School
Completion.

Workforce State-Supported Courses
Fall 2009 through Fall 2013
Workforce: Workforce courses are designed to
train or retrain people for jobs or to upgrade current
job skills. SBCTC classifies its workforce programs
based on the wages earned by entry-level workers.
The FTES distribution across these areas remained
consistent with approximately 41 percent higherwage, 27 percent middle-wage, and 20 percent
lower-wage.
In fall 2013, total workforce state-supported FTES
declined 3.2 percent from fall 2012. The largest
decline was in the lower wage programs, with a
19 percent decline over the last five years. The
program area with the largest growth in the past five
years is the high-wage program of “Machinists,
Welding, Transportation Operator.”
