Proposal to modify the business definition short certificates
Proposed and Presented by SBCTC and the Data Governance Committee
This document outlines a proposal to modify our current legacy system exit coding for short
certificates. Modifying the definition of short certificates will help us to align the data with the
program approval process, with the Student Achievement completions point calculations, and
with the new PeopleSoft system. These modifications will help us better tell our short certificate
story in terms of labor market value and role in career pathways.
The first issue is to redefine the exit coding of certificates that go through the SBCTC approval
process. Programs of 20 or more credits go through a more stringent approval process than
programs of under 20 credits. We currently code all certificates below 44 credits as Exit Code 4.
We can align the coding with the program approval process by re-defining Exit Code 4 to mean
certificates of 20 to 44 credits. Certificates of less than 20 credits would be coded as Exit Code 9.
The colleges use Exit Code 9 in a variety of ways that include certifications (such as IT related
certifications - not to be confused with certificates), CNA certificates and individualized training
programs. There were 2,300 Exit Code 9’s awarded in 2011-12. Only half of the colleges are
awarding these. Exit Code 9 is used in Carl Perkins and DLOA reporting. Students who are
awarded Exit Code 9 are included in these datasets as workforce participants.
We have an opportunity to clean up the short certificate records during data conversion into
PeopleSoft by separating the uses of the code into explicit categories. PeopleSoft completions
coding for certificates will be in the following categories: 90+ credits, 45 to 89 credits, 20 to 44
credits, 1 to 19 credits and zero credit bearing certificates.
The legacy system does contain an unused Exit Code of “Z”. By redefining the definition of Exit
Code 4 and Exit Code 9 in the legacy system, we will create system consistency and assist in the
migration of data into PeopleSoft.
It is recommended that this definitional change occur at the beginning of the 2014-15 academic year.

The following methodology will be used for data conversion into PeopleSoft:
• No Exit Code Z’s will be converted. Exit Code Z will contain a mixture of non-credit bearing
certificates as well as certification designations making it difficult to distinguish between the
two categories. Certifications will be recorded as milestones in PeopleSoft. Migration of these
records will need to be entered manually when deemed appropriate by the college.
• No Exit Code 9 records dated prior to Summer 2014 will be converted. The Exit Code 9 records
are not easily categorized. Migration of these records will be entered manually when deemed
appropriate by the college.

•
Exit Code 9 records from Summer 2014 forward will be migrated to PeopleSoft during data
conversion.

Requires trustees to provide step increases or increments to full and parttime faculty as they are negotiated in local agreements. Step increases
awarded by a board may exceed compensation provided by the Legislature.
Current CTC faculty collective bargaining law requires full and part-time
faculty to be in a single bargaining unit. SB 5844 amends the law to split
faculty bargaining units into full time tenured faculty units and part-time
non-tenured faculty units. As a result, colleges may be required to bargain
separate agreements – one applicable to full time faculty and another
applicable to part-time faculty. Additionally, the bill prohibits discrimination
of part-time faculty based upon their status as part-time instructors.

ANNOUNCEMENT
Presidential Actions on Workforce Announced
Yesterday (January 30, 2014) the White House released further information on
the review of the nation's workforce programs the President announced during
the State of the Union this week. As part of this review, the President announced
three planned executive actions to improve that state of the nation's workforce
system. The first immediate action was a memorandum sent yesterday to the
secretaries of labor, commerce and education directing their agencies to work
with the Vice President on a comprehensive review of programs and an action
plan to make the workforce and training system more job-driven, integrated and
effective. Second, the President directed the Vice President to engage in
immediate consultation with stakeholders, including governors, on best practices
for ensuring the training system is more driven by the needs of employers for
placement purposes. Third, the President directed the labor secretary to ensure
that the final $500 million allocated for the Trade Adjustment Assistance and
Community College and Career Training competitive grant program focuses on
meeting "the needs of employers that will do the hiring."

Limited License Legal Technicians (LLLT)
Admission to Practice Rule 28
The Washington Supreme Court adopted the Limited License Legal Technician (LLLT) Rule,
effective September 1, 2012. This rule authorizes non-attorneys who meet certain educational
requirements to advise and assist clients in approved practice areas of law.
WSBA’s role is to maintain the high standards set for the legal profession while serving as the
regulators of this new rule. The goal is to ensure quality implementation aimed at supporting
WSBA members and upholding protection of the public. There is no other state with a similar
LLLT rule. This rule provides Washington the opportunity to lead the nation in expanding legal
services for the people of our state.
With the rule, the Supreme Court established the LLLT Board to administer the program.
First Practice Area: Domestic Relations
The LLLT Board began its work in January 2013. As one of its first actions, the Board
recommended family law as the first practice area in which to license LLLTs, which the
Supreme Court unanimously approved in March 2013.
The LLLT Board is expected to begin accepting applications for the licensing examination in
Spring/Summer 2014 and begin licensing of LLLTs in Fall 2014.

Workforce HEET, Aerospace and Worker
Retraining Update
Aerospace 1000 FTEs
Planned proposal release date: March 13, 2014
Proposal due date: May 8, 2014
Community & technical colleges will be invited to submit proposals that demonstrate the ability to generate
additional capacity towards meeting the required 1000 FTE mandate attached to this appropriation. Proposals
will be accepted for colleges in support of a list that will be published of aerospace and aerospace related
programs. The list of programs will be vetted by the Aerospace and Advanced Materials Manufacturing
Pipeline Advisory Committee prior to release for proposal.
Consortium proposals will not be accepted.
Aerospace Special Projects funding
Planned application release date: March 27, 2014
Application due date: May 8, 2014
Aerospace Special Projects are intended to support the extraordinary costs associated with the startup or
improvement of high demand programs. This process will run parallel to the 1000 FTE proposal process, but is
intended to support other projects that may not necessarily have qualified for funding under the 1000 FTE
program guidelines.
Consortium applications will be accepted but will need to clearly demonstrate what the activities of the
individual members or pooling of resources will do to meet a common goal.

HEET
Planned application release date: March 13, 2014
Application will be due by: May, 1, 2014
The process will be managed through OGMS.

In responding to the Spring Funding survey indicating you have funds to return will not affect the next Worker
Retraining allocation. It is imperative to the system to return unspent funds to ensure that they can be redistributed to schools where there is a demonstrated need for financial aid to serve additional students before
