CTE COMMITTEE PRIORITIES (identified Spring 2014)
1. Rebuild our capacity to help CTE students get jobs. While this issue came up after each
attendee had already listed their top 3 priorities, everyone agreed afterwards that this is a
top priority. If job placement is done effectively, it will solve a number of other issues
related to outreach, enrollment and resources. This is, of course, closely linked with the
Data priority in that we need to build systems for collecting and tracking the placement and
employment outcome data (tied to the Student Outcome Surveys).
2. Improve budget transparency and management. Faculty would like greater access to their
budgets and better information about cut-offs, deadlines, and how they can use their funds.
3. Improve human resource processes for CTE. Faculty and Deans would like to focus on
improving contracting and hiring for CTE grant-funded and related programs and activities.
4. Improve procurement/purchasing processes for CTE. These processes are confusing and
cumbersome and Deans and Faculty are spending too much time inefficiently to purchase
equipment and other related materials for CTE. How can we improve these processes?
5. Data. Committee would like to work with Institutional Research to understand how data
tracking and requests are currently being handled, discuss what improvements have been or
can be made – especially with respect to corresponding data collection and reporting and
the necessary reporting colleges need to do to report SLO’s for grants and other funding
streams.
6. Access to information. The Committee would like to see greater access to information
about grants, grant deadlines, grant reporting requirements. KE will follow up in putting this
information on the District’s CTE website as a password protected function.
