Desired Results
Raise the funds necessary to build and update the current Forethought
building ($3.5 MM locally – schools $1MM, city $1MM,
business/individuals/philanthropists $1.5 MM)
Reach agreements on usage with current tenants
Hire necessary personnel to staff the campus
Communicate effectively to the local community
Required funds raised
Determine curriculum eligible for direct transfer with grades to state
universities
Determine curriculum of offerings that will be offered at Ivy Tech
and/or BHS
Construct the economic benefits statement of savings accrued through
dual credit courses
Communicate offering and potential savings to students and parents
ROI for community annually =
Graduating seniors up to one full
year of state college credits (currently
~ $9K value) x 120 student/year
(75% of grads college bound) =
$1M+ savings to parents/students
annually
Document currently available associates and bachelors degrees
available via Ivy Tech to students
Develop agreement with IU East and other schools for classes that
would be available and transferable to students in the area that would
lead to associates and bachelors degrees
Document and communicate benefits and savings possible
Low-cost four-year degree = Current
on-campus, state degrees cost ~
$80K for four years v. approximate
cost at Ivy Tech/IU East in Batesville
~$25-30K (students on “free &
reduced meals” eligible for Pell
grants of $22K)
Implement the AML curriculum at BHS beginning fall of 2012 or
2013 (one of only six pilot locations in Indiana; Indiana one of only
five states in the nation testing)
Support the efforts of Conexus to bring the AML curriculum to other
Indiana communities by loaning a leader/manager from
Hillenbrand/Batesville Casket to the effort for the rest of 2012
Coordinate efforts between Ivy Tech, BHS and local industry on all
AML curriculum and possible certification programs
Begin communicating curriculum and programs to students, parents,
employers and employees
Leadership position of Batesville
community in manufacturing
renaissance in Indiana (state with
highest % of manufacturing
employees) and in a community with
one of highest % of manufacturing
employees in the state – serve as a
model for the state, groups like
Conexus, NAM and others
Recruit as necessary staff for new Ivy Tech campus
Create communications conduits and loops between Ivy Tech and
local employers for skills requirements
Create communications conduit and loops between Ivy Tech and local
employers for open job positions and potential employees
Community support for significant
growth over baseline numbers of
students in all categories
A “live” environment in which
employers and educators partner to
insure current and future workers
have skills necessary for current and
future industry needs. A coordinated
resource for great employers and
potential employees to link up. 4

Batesville High School, Local Employers,
Students and Families, Ivy Tech
Win, Win, Win, Win
– Batesville High School – Physical plant and staffing
• Expansions are costly…goal is to optimize space
– Even minor expansions can cost millions of dollars
• Extensive curriculum offerings can require sub-optimization of staff
– Offering various classes for groups of 5 – 10 students is difficult and costly; combining such groups from
various high schools in one location at Ivy Tech makes sense
– Students and Families – $$$ saved and CTE opportunities
• ~50% of all BHS juniors and senior are attending classes at Ivy Tech campus this fall
• Money saved for transfers is substantial
• Students are enrolled in CTE internship programs with corporate partners
– Local employers – Well qualified employees
• Addresses skills gaps
• Employer partners help to determine curriculum based upon their business demands
– Ivy Tech – Partnerships that secure recruitment based upon community needs
• Soaring enrollment for dual enrollment and CTE curriculum
• Pipeline for the future

Observations about the Alignment between what
Colleges and Universities Supply and What
Employers Demand
Communication between Colleges/Universities and Business/Industry could be Better
– Opportunity to be Better Planned, More Thoughtful, and Focused on Skills Gaps
• Soft skills, Analytical, Writing
– Colleges/Universities and Business/Industry need to be more Proactive
Exposure to What is Happening in both Spaces is too Limited
– Business/Industry Leaders need to be Present at Colleges/Universities
– College/University Leaders need to be Present at Businesses/Industries
Research and Expertise of Universities are not Leveraged Well Enough
– Knowledge Base could Increase at Colleges/Universities and Businesses/Industries with Greater
Sharing
– Ideas for Commercialization could Improve
More Robust Exposure of Students to Employers and Vice Versa would Benefit Indiana
– More Great Students (from Batesville, Bakersfield, Beijing…) should call Indiana Home
– Hoosier Employers would Benefit having the Top Talent Available

(~40th in Educational Attainment & ~40th in Per Capita Income)
– Partnerships between Employers, Philanthropists, Educators, Community Leaders, and Citizens
are Strengthened with Leadership from Higher Education
Higher Education can be a Catalyst for Attracting and Retaining Business/Industry
– Many Business Leaders view Higher Education in a Community as a Bonus
– The cost of Higher Education can be Mitigated through the Presence of Institutions Locally
Higher Education can be a Catalyst for Attracting and Retaining Top Talent
– The Best and the Brightest Value the Presence of Higher Education in a Community
– Higher Education is Critical to Quality of Place
