56 Washington Community and Technical College Fall 2012

Basic Skills : In fall 2012, the majority (58 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 28 percent of basic skills. GED and High School
Completion were 11 percent. The remainder of instruction included goal-setting classes and some workplace basic skills.
After a substantial decrease in fall 2011, total basic skills
FTES showed flat growth in fall 2012. Colleges reduced instruction in ESL, High School Completion, and Other, and increased FTES in ABE and GED.

58 Washington Community and Technical College Fall 2012

Workforce: Workforce courses are designed to train or re-train 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 has remained consistent with approximately 40 percent high-wage, 30 percent middle-wage, and
19 percent low-wage.
In fall 2012, total workforce state-supported FTES declined 3.2 percent from fall 2011. The largest decline was in the lower wage programs, with a 16 percent decline over the last five years. The program area with the largest growth in the past five years is the middle-wage program of “other health services.”
