BASIC SKILLS STATE SUPPORTED COURSES OFFERED
FALL 2006 THROUGH FALL 2010
BASIC SKILLS: In fall 2010, the majority (61
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 9th grade level, was 25 percent of
basic skills. GED and High School (HS)
Completion were 11 percent. The remainder of
instruction included goal setting classes and some
workplace basic skills.
Total basic skills FTES decreased by 686 FTES in
fall 2010, the second straight year marked by a
nearly 4 percent annual decrease. Colleges reduced
instruction in all four ABE levels, GED and HS
Completion. ESL FTES were reduced in level 1.

PRE-COLLEGE: Math comprised over two-thirds

WORKFORCE STATE SUPPORTED COURSES OFFERED
FALL 2006 THROUGH FALL 2010
WORKFORCE: Workforce courses are designed to
train or re-train people for jobs or to upgrade current
job skills. Throughout the recession the colleges had
been increasing workforce FTES particularly in
response to demand for Worker Retraining (page 52).
This increase in effort was despite cuts in state
funding and the fact that workforce programs are
typically more costly to run because they require
small class sizes. In fall 2010, total workforce statesupported FTES declined 2 percent from fall 2009
due to cumulative annual budget cuts.
SBCTC classifies its workforce programs based on
the wages earned by entry-level workers. This fall,
cuts occurred across all workforce program classes,
with deepest cuts in middle and lower wage programs
as a whole.
