New Director started 8-1-13
Office Specialist is working out-of-class as a Program Specialist
II through June 30. Will work to re-class this position
permanently in the 14-15 year. Decisions are pending the new
projects which will cause us to reevaluate what positions we
will need in the future.
Re-class was initially denied, but up for review. Incumbent has
resigned her position effective June 30, 2014.
6/19/13 Due to recent budget reduction from both CalWORKs
and WIA money, this is still a dream that we will keep in mind
as new money is available.
5/22/14 There are several new projects on the horizon for 1415 which will cause to reevaluate what positions we will need
in the future.

As we are potentially adding more programs for the FY 14-15,
it may be necessary to hire an accounting specialist. With the
addition of more work study, WFSN and potentially more
programs under the umbrella of FTTW the accounting will
become more complicated.

The purpose of the Approved Majors List is to simplify the
referral process. Both ETS County staff and FTTW staff have
access to a pre-approved list of majors that prospective
students can enroll in pending county assessments.
Developing a relationship that will hopefully culminate in FTTW
hosting a satellite America’s Job Center on campus with some
staffing provided by Shoreline.
Chancellor office work study funds require a 25% match. We can
often use Federal Work Study dollars or employer matches,
however, some students do not qualify for FWS. Having a
matching source will allow us to place students who do not have
FWS or want to work with an employer who cannot provide a
25% match. We were notified by the county on 5/20 that we
may anticipate an increase in funding earmarked for this goal
of approximately $100,000 (which can help defray salary for a
job developer and increased work study dollars for the match).
The 2013-2014 saw a dramatic decrease in the amount of
funding and number of students we were earmarked to serve.
We went over cap for WIA. As a result, we hope to establish a
stronger relationship, serving more students, with increased
funding for 2014-2015. We were notified by the WIB on
5/21/14 that we may anticipate a $21,000 increase over 13-14
for 2014-2015
SLO/AUO Assessment Progress
In a sentence or two, describe where your department should be with ongoing assessment (what assessment you should have done in the last
year) and what was actually done. If any task was not completed, explain why.
Assessed our SLO in 2012 as part of our program plan. Plan on reassessing the SLO in Spring of 2014.
SLO/AUOs are difficult to assess as they do not include measurable outcomes. During the Summer of 2014 goals will be re-written to
measurable outcomes specific to each program.
