SWAMMEI
Strengthening Workforce Alignment in Montana’s
Manufacturing and Energy Industries (SWAMMEI)
Budget Narrative
Budget Narrative Overview:
There are 13 participating colleges in the SWAMMEI project. The grant’s budgetary focus is
to provide colleges with the human and physical resources necessary to allow their students to
participate in online/hybrid trades-oriented SWAMMEI stacked credential programs. The project
creates significant financial efficiencies by using a common delivery system, with each SWAMMEI
stacked credential featuring interactive, online curriculum and a single faculty facilitators to deliver
online components to state-wide student cohorts in each occupational track. This low-cost method
of implementation then couples online curriculum with consolidated practical training to fulfill each
of the trades-oriented programs.
SWAMMEI creates four regional Assessment Centers that are accessible to students across
the state, rather than building the capacity at each college to conduct the hands-on portion of the
curriculum. This reduces the equipment and supplies needed across the system while still impacting
as many students as possible.
In general, individual college budgets contain only the human and physical resources
necessary to allow them to participate in this systemic approach. In other words, no colleges are
implementing strategies independently.
There are several colleges taking guiding roles (as described in the table below) in developing
certain occupational tracks. These colleges’ respective budgets are, in general, larger than the nonguiding colleges to allow for development of curriculum and procurement of the equipment and
supplies necessary to implement the hands-on components of the programs throughout the system.

MSU-Northern, Helena College
Diesel Technician Track
City College
Oil and Gas focused: Safety, RIG Pass, and Roustabout Tracks
City College, Helena College, Missoula
College
Energy Technician Track
In certain occupational tracks, the hands-on components of the training cannot be
consolidated (resulting in a systemic approach not being advantageous), specifically in welding,
welding fabrication and the tracks focused on oil-and-gas-industry transportation occupations.
College budgets may include specific equipment needs necessary to support implementation of the
practical aspects of these programs. In some cases, where a piece of equipment will significantly
increase the capacity of a particular non-guiding college to offer a significant element of the handson components of training, those costs were viewed as an efficiency and included in colleges’
individual budgets.
Portions of the project that are necessary to benefit all consortium members have been
included in the budget description for GFC – MSU, the lead applicant. This includes the costs for
grant management positions, project third-party evaluation, real-time Labor Market Information
analysis software, industry expert content review, expert consultants in developmental math and the
National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC), the common technology platform for online/hybrid
classes, sector strategy facilitation, the cost of NCRC tests for some participants and the contract for
provision of professional student coaching. All of these items are viewed as necessary to ensure
effective project implementation, support student success, consistent program improvement, and/or
strengthen alignment of the project strategies with employers in the target industry.

Officer would be identified for 10 months of Year 1 and be utilized half-time in Year 4 to continue
tracking and compilation of data.
SWAMMEI Consortium Administrative Associate ($112,378) will provide administrative
support to the SWAMMEI Grant Project Director and other grant personnel, including Consortium
partners as needed. The salary is calculated at $36,000 a year, a highly competitive salary in Montana
commensurate with experience and background requirements of the position. It is anticipated that
an appropriate administrative assistant will be identified prior to the grant award resulting in full time
employment in all three years of the project period.
Common Personnel Positions in Consortium Partner Budgets
There are many positions included in individual consortium member budgets that will hold
similar titles, perform similar duties, and whose rate of pay has been calculated in roughly the same
way (accounting for regional differences). These positions include: (1) SWAMMEI Campus Grant
Coordinators, (2) Workforce Navigators, and (3) Faculty positions.
6
SWAMMEI
Strengthening Workforce Alignment in Montana’s
Manufacturing and Energy Industries (SWAMMEI)
Budget Narrative
SWAMMEI Campus Grant Coordinators will coordinate grant activity on their respective
campuses; ensure compliance with consortium requirements; participate in grant project meetings,
help evaluate and communicate project outcomes. These positions are included within the budgets
of colleges, leading (for the consortium) elements of the SWAMMEI projects (e.g. developing
curriculum for oil and gas occupations). The positions are salaried .5 FTE and are calculated at a
salary commensurate with experience and background requirements of the position in Montana. For
consortium members in smaller communities that are not engaged in developing curriculum with this project, these
responsibilities will be performed by the TAACCCT-funded Workforce Navigator) positions described below.
SWAMMEI Workforce Navigators are designed to bridge the services, funding streams,
and enrollment processes of MDLI and the 2-year colleges. Navigators will work closely with
participants to assist them on their chosen educational pathway and to connect them with industry
and help them secure employment. Depending on individual partner campus needs, the Workforce
Navigator can act as a shared position between One-Stop Centers and campuses, recruiting,
enrolling and tracking participants, working with industry to develop apprenticeships or internships,
and working with industry on placement. Depending upon the expected workload, colleges have
included these positions as either a fulltime or .5 FTE position. It is anticipated that navigators will
work 10 months in the first year of the grant. Salaries range from $32,000 to $52,000 for these
positions based upon expected workload and regional pay-scale differences. These salaries are
commensurate with the experience and background requirements of similar positions in Montana.
Faculty impact the SWAMMEI budget in several different ways. First, there are salaried
faculty positions, included where it was felt existing faculty would not be able to help expand,
augment or change programs as required by the project. Secondly, stipends have been provided,
where necessary, to allow existing faculty to make contributions to the project. Last, professional
7
SWAMMEI
Strengthening Workforce Alignment in Montana’s
Manufacturing and Energy Industries (SWAMMEI)
Budget Narrative
development stipends will help existing and new faculty gain the experience, skills and knowledge
necessary to complete elements of the project.
There are various salaried faculty positions included in the SWAMMEI project, where such
additions were necessary to successfully complete the project. Faculty salaries range in cost
between $35,000 and $60,000 depending upon their area of expertise and regional differences in payscale. All salaries and wages are commensurate with those paid to employees at individual partner
campuses and reflect pay scales for positions in accordance with Montana University System policies
and procedures. An annual 4% salary increase is estimated for Year 2, Year 3 for all personnel, and
Year 4 for consortium management personnel. Unless otherwise stated, first year salary amounts
reflect funding for ten months in Year 1 to allow for recruitment of new personnel. Grant Funding
for all but one faculty position are reduced by 50% in Year 3 to allow for gradual normalization into
institutional budgets. For implementation of the emporium math model, various hybrid lab
“coordinator” positions are included in the SWAMMEI project. These positions coordinate lab
staff schedules, operating hours and other supervisory functions while also serving in some capacity
as a math tutor/instructor.
Faculty compensation stipends have been included in some areas, where relatively minor
adjustments will be made to existing curriculum to serve broader student populations. In the case of
the energy technician track, a $7,500 stipend for faculty has been included at Helena College and
Missoula College to pay for (125 hours @ $60/hour) their involvement in recreating online
curriculum better aligned to industry needs. A $15,000/year stipend was included for colleges that
will act as Assessment Centers (City College, FVCC, Helena College and MSU-Northern) to pay for
the additional costs of taking on students beyond their typical service area.

SWAMMEI
Strengthening Workforce Alignment in Montana’s
Manufacturing and Energy Industries (SWAMMEI)
Budget Narrative
Faculty professional development stipends have been included, where necessary, to provide
faculty the skills, expertise and training necessary to successfully implement SWAMMEI strategies.
Most of the state’s manufacturing faculty, including welding instructors, has not yet embraced newer
industry and instructional technology, resulting in two specific gaps: [1] an absence of online training
accessible to students in remote areas, and [2] training that lacks the technological sophistication
required by globally-competitive manufacturing businesses. Despite research demonstrating the
educational benefits of non-traditional math instruction, over half of the two-year college math
faculty lack experience with those models, and no college in Montana offers a fully implemented
“Emporium model” of developmental math. Therefore, this budget includes professional
development and release time stipends to be paid to existing faculty to attend professional
development to upgrade skills, and to develop and/or modify curriculum and assist in focus area
implementation. The budget also includes resources for new faculty, trainers, technical managers,
lab managers and other personnel required to serve new populations.

Budget Narrative

Travel Overview
Travel costs throughout Montana
tend to be higher than the national average
due to the size of the state and region. As
the 4th largest state, Montana is a vast area
of open space situated in northwest United
States. Montana is comprised of over 152,000 square miles of mountains and plains, has limited
roadways and is subject to severe weather. The state’s population is distributed in communities,
many of which would be considered very small by most states’ standards, that are separated by miles
of harsh terrain. There are only two states in the union that are more sparsely populated than the
appropriately nicknamed Big Sky Country – Alaska and Wyoming.
The utilization of technology-based solutions generally cannot supplant travel since
telecommunication networks in Montana are not evenly distributed throughout the state, access can
be limited and connectivity site-to-site is problematic. Face-to-face meetings are more cost effective
compared to setting up new telecommunication structures such as Cisco Telepresence. Grant
personnel, including the Project Director, will be traveling considerable distances to reach
geographically dispersed partner institutions. As points for consideration, these large distances are
illustrated in the included and examples of town-to-town mileage are also listed in a table below.

Airfare costs tend to be higher for travel to destinations outside the state due to Montana’s
remote location and lack of air traffic volume as compared with more highly populated
states. Examples of airfare between Great Falls, Montana, and Washington DC and Dallas, Texas
are $1,500 and $1,200 respectively. This impacts the Project Director and team, who will be
required to attend regional and national meetings for grant management.

D.TOTAL EQUIPMENT
Budget Narrative
$6,593,166
As indicated earlier, great efficiency has been gained through the systemic approach to this
project which avoids the duplicative costs of creating labs at each participating institution. In
general, equipment costs are included in the SWAMMEI budget for one of only two reasons: (1)
equipment allows an institution to provide the shared hands-on training component of SWAMMEI
programs to students from anywhere in the system, or; (2) for occupational tracks where hands-on
components could not be efficiently consolidated (i.e. no financial efficiency is gained from a
centralized approach to hands-on training in welding, welding fabrication and transportation-related
occupational tracks), campuses require specific equipment in order to offer the practical
components of those training program to their students. Individual college equipment needs vary
depending on the curriculum and training to be offered.
Need for specialized equipment — Manufacturing: The SWAMMEI project’s success
depends upon the ability of our students to access comprehensive “Practical Skills Assessment
Training Centers” where they can complete the hands-on components of their online training
programs. Therefore, these centers each need a comprehensive set of training equipment/learning
systems (such as Amatrol® learning systems) sufficient to conduct a breadth of practical
assessments. Also, some institutions require specialized equipment to conduct aspects of the handson training on campus, such as industrial lathes, welders, modern CNC machines and manufacturing
industry software (e.g., Solidworks™). Some colleges are also building fabrication laboratories for
students at the advanced end of training who are interested in product-based entrepreneurship,
including water jets, 3-D printers and plasma cutters.
Energy: Some colleges will require additional trucks to conduct CDL, heavy operations and
diesel mechanics training expanded by this project. Diesel training will also require specific training
equipment, including: powertrains, diagnostic kits, trainers, hydraulic equipment, and engines. Oil

have industry specified welding equipment needed to conduct training and
certifications. Our industry partners have identified the need to deliver on-site, shortterm training for their current workers related to annual re-certification and technical
training advancement. In addition, many K-12 students in rural Montana do not have
access to industrial-scale workforce training that the mobile lab will contain. Thus, a
mobile lab becomes the “traveling salesperson” to not only promote skill and training in
the energy sector, it will deliver the “goods” as well. See information below on the
Mobile Training Lab.

computer labs, but there are scheduling challenges due to the number of
programs and courses that need access. The mobile lab allows instructors
and students to have access to MATHXL, the internet based program
utilized for homework and tests, to be accessed in any classroom, not just
fixed computer labs, thereby expanding scheduling options and access for
students enrolled in the emporium model. Cost for mobile laptop cart is

assessments will play a role in the placement of a minimum of 100 workers
during this project and will increase the retention of employees for
participating businesses, a metric to be tracked throughout the project. We
anticipate that a minimum of 500 individuals per year will be assessed
using WorkKeys during the SWAMMEI project.

Budget Narrative
Other Overview
A budget is included in “Other” for outreach activities to inform potential participants,
industry, grant partners and communities about the grant activities. Several strategies will be
employed that will include: print media such as brochures, fact sheets, and announcements in
newspapers and other publications; websites; video (YouTube); and televised announcements.
Strategies will also involve social media, which are rapidly becoming a significant part of the way
businesses are attracting new customers and developing new relationships. Opportunities created by
engaging the use of social media include: developing many additional opportunities to reach out to
industry partners, communities and prospective students to help them gain awareness about our
project; creating community awareness of the programs and services offered through the grant
initiatives by highlighting new programs, certificates, and services; keeping industries, the
communities and potential students updated with new programs, expanded services, and other
relevant information.; and seeking input and ideas from industry and communities regarding new
training and programs which are needed.
In addition, facility insufficiencies at Montana colleges consist of three recurring voids: (1)
many smaller schools lack lab space and/or appropriate equipment to support training programs in
manufacturing and welding; (2)some colleges with adequate lab space lack the appropriate
infrastructure, such as HVAC systems, to safely accommodate expansion of their programs; (3)
colleges looking to operate math labs to support implementation of Emporium model math
instruction lack appropriate lab space to accommodate this model of instruction.

It is the goal of Missoula College’s Energy Technology Program to achieve
ANSI-IREC accreditation. ANSI is the national governing body that has as its
mission to keep the United States competitive in the emerging global
marketplace while maintaining the safety of American workers. IREC is a nonprofit organization that has been promoting worker safety in renewable energy
and energy efficiency for over four decades. Professor Layton has attended
IREC conferences in the past and is in the process of designing his new
laboratory space with a layout similar to one he saw while attending the 2011
Clean Energy Workforce Education Conference in Albany New York. Layton
has been in contact with ANSI-IREC directors who have pre-approved the
application process for 2014. This accreditation will enhance the state and
national presence of Missoula College’s Energy Technology Program at
Missoula College, which offers approximately half of its degrees online.

LEVERAGED RESOURCES
Each SWAMMEI partner campus brings unique coursework, programming, and support
service expertise that will be utilized by the project. All partners will work together to develop the
best products for delivery throughout Montana and the region. The SWAMMEI partners have
infrastructural resources available on their campuses for the delivery of onsite, offsite, and
online/hybrid content; the ability to communicate with students; and lead to successful project
outcomes. The consortium members are committed to providing classrooms and technical and
industry-specific equipment labs that can support this project. In addition, standard college services
like Career Services, the Academic Support Center, and New Student Services, will provide support
to all students, including SWAMMEI participants.
Leveraged leadership from Montana University System includes support from the
Commissioner of Higher Education, Deputy Commissioner for Two-Year and Community College
Education and the Associate Commissioner for Planning and Analysis.
The SWAMMEI Consortium will leverage expert resources, industry partners and advisors
to enhance services developed in this grant. Industry partners have committed to: help develop
strategic directions of programs through participation on employer advisory boards and grant
steering committee membership; provide resources which can include equipment, internship
opportunities, clinical sites and/or expertise in the classroom; assign personnel to assist with
curriculum development and review of program outcomes where appropriate; and hire graduates of
the programs.
The Commissioner of the Montana Department of Labor and Industry and the State
Workforce Investment Board have committed their support to this statewide project and will
leverage services of their agencies to the project. The One-Stop Career Center and Adult Provider

Budget Narrative
will continue their partnership by providing training funds to eligible TAA students by providing
training funds as available. Leveraging TAA funds will strengthen an already strong partnership
between workforce development and the SWAMMEI Consortium members.
The Montana Department of Labor and Industry, Apprenticeship and Training Program,
has communicated its support of training programs that lead to positions in apprentice occupations
with employers in the advanced manufacturing and energy industries. The Apprenticeship and
Training Program will continue to provide technical assistance to develop articulation agreements
between partner institutions and industry employers in curriculum and on-the-job training credit,
and support the broadening of career option awareness to middle- and high school-age students.
IN addition, the Montana Department of Commerce has signed a letter of commitment that
it will assist the project in developing and implementing the entrepreneurship strategy.
Employer, Workforce System and partner involvement has been incorporated into all
aspects of the grant planning and will continue involvement throughout implementation and
evaluation phases. The organizational structure will ensure partner, advisor and TAACCCT mentor
input and evaluation at the Consortium, as well as the individual institution, levels.
