EVERY CHILD. EVERY DAY. A School Culture of Excellence 2016 – 2017 Career and Technical Education INSTRUCTIONAL PLAN

CURRENT JOB MARKET ANALYSIS  Projections of Future Jobs in the Hampton Roads Area –  Welders – projected growth of 27% (not a single welder was laid off from the Shipyard) entry level salary - $38k - $50k  If welding is offered at SHS by 1 teacher – 60 students a year could potentially earn an industry certification versus 6 from Pruden Center  HVACR – projected growth of 16% – entry level salary $42k  EMT – projected growth of 58% – entry level salary $30k  Many of these jobs are in the private industry for transporting patients  CNA – projected growth of 31% – entry level salary $22k

WORK FORCE READINESS  What businesses have to say –  Students need the 4 C’s and Habits of Heart and Mind (Citizenship)  Skills gap (non-credit training is expensive and does not always lead to a degree) K- 12 education can help close the skills gap by offering programs that lead to certifications recognized by industries  Local community colleges offer non-credit training costing between $450 - $1500 per course  If a high school graduate has the ability to work in a team with little supervision, brainstorm for conflict resolution, communicate effectively, and has a strong work ethic than a company will invest in the employee to further education

CAREER PATHWAYS Career Paths Through Agriculture  Plant Systems Pathway– projected growth of 13% in Hampton Roads area for pesticide handlers/sprayers, farmworkers, nursery/greenhouse, landscaping $21 – $40k with high school degree  Animal Systems Pathway –projected growth of 32% in Hampton Roads area for veterinary assistants, technicians, with an associates degree $25k –$ 36k - trainers and nonfarm animal caretakers and high school only $20 – $25k entry level  Agriculture Power, Structural, and Technical Systems – these courses would support the building of a research farm and support jobs in the building trades industry  Building and Trades – projected growth of 23 – 27% for helpers and 16% for construction industry in Hampton Roads area – internships available almost immediately when enrolled in the class  Brickmasons, carpenters, electricians, pipelayers, plumbers, all trade helpers – entry level $28k with hundreds of jobs projected and only needing high school or less

Researching and examining: do our programs prepare students for a career pathway?

WHY IS CTE SO IMPORTANT IN OUR SCHOOLS?  Average 450 graduates each year from IWCS  Average 45% go to college (202 students)  About 248 graduates who are not going to college and need to complete a career pathway leading to jobs or more technical training

CURRENT STATE OF CTE PROGRAM Current offerings at home schools  Personal Finance and Economics (equivalent of 5 teaching positions)  Keyboarding  Independent Living  IT Fundamentals, Design Multi/Web, Computer Info Systems  Found. Of Ag., Intro. to Animal Systems, and Horticulture  Tech Drawing, Engineering Explorations, Prin. of Tech I and II  Marketing, Marketing Coop.  Intro to Culinary

CURRENT STATE OF PRUDEN CENTER  Students do not often complete sequences to earn industry certifications  Approximately 65 of the 140 students completed courses leading to viable industry certifications  When we asked students why? Response included - schedule conflicts, time out of home school, interest change  98 IWCS students taking Intro to Culinary in home school this year with only 6 slots available for Culinary I at Pruden Center next year  IWCS has award winning welding students in the past, but only 6 slots available for Welding I and 6 for Welding II  Auto Body I is one of the offerings, we had 5 students total in and we have two in Auto Body II this year  Building Trades I is one of the offerings, we had 5 students total in and we have one in Building Trades II this year

PRUDEN CENTER: FISCAL IMPACT  IWCS pays for 220 slots each year  IWCS fills about 140 slots each year  We pay $950,000 to send students to Pruden each year = $6786 per student for the 140 we have been averaging the last three years.  Out of about 140 attending each year our records indicate that 66 students passing a certification was the most in a single year  $950,000 for 66 certifications equates to $14,394 per certification, per year

Can we restructure our current program in the home schools and Pruden to make them work better for our students?

Maker Space will cost $200,000 including building upgrades.  In year three, upgrades to agriculture program $165,000. Electricity will cost $125,00. Fire Fighting Program will cost $55,000. We will also have instructor cost of $150,000. These costs will be recurring and we will no longer have the $950,000 to use each year. We will still have funds available to upgrade our programs and sustain them over time.  Each space created in E-building will cost approximately $160,000.

REMAINING GAP  Auto Body  Auto Service  Cosmetology  Early Childhood Education  Heavy Utility All other courses integrated into new home school offerings If students do not find a career pathway to their liking then we can still send a select number through PDCCC or Thomas Nelson Community College for between $517 and $1,600 per class.
