Targeted occupations include: (job order postings tracked from 2010) Electrical Engineers and Technicians Chemical Engineers and Technicians Electricians Electromechanical Equipment Assemblers Electromechanical Technicians Wind Turbine Service Technicians Assemblers, Fabricators and Machinists Water/liquid Waste Treatment Operators Welders, Cutters, Solderers, Brazers Industrial Engineering Technicians Industrial Machinery Mechanics

EWDD Service Areas Anticipated Primary Service Areas PCC Sectors: Oil, Gas, Mining Mobile Learning Labs Deployed from PCC/SCCC in Durango

Clean Energy Industries – Expect at least 60% of the training should be hands-on with similar equipment the workers will experience in the field Unique Nacelle Wind Turbine Training System and Hydraulic Hub Trainers will be made available (at a college campus location) Ultimate results - hybrid training utilizing industry specific software complemented with hands-on training via the Mobile Learning Labs Stackable Short-term certificates and associates degrees Target is to serve 850 training participants state-wide PCC training will be non-credit “Certificates of Completion”, we’ll direct trainees to Aims Community College or Colorado Mountain College for follow-on cert. or degrees

Training grant subsidy is capped at $1500/person Requesting employers pay 50% of the overall training costs Unemployed workers are funded at 100% Mine Safety Health Administration (MSHA) New Miner Training32 h MSHA Miner Refresher Training 8 h First Responder40 h OSHA32 h Welding40-80 h Mechanical Systems h Electrical Systems24-60 h Others upon requestTBD

Then current and emerging needs from the industrial sector for customized short-term technical training was high Economic & Workforce Development at PCC needed access to training space Campus surplus capacity was at an all time low for technical labs ROI was determined to be approximately months (based on forecasts) The PCC Foundation provided 30% funding support to build a Welding Mobile Lab Version 1.0

Approx. Cost was $250k (+ a truck to pull the lab $10k) Designed and built by Economic & Workforce Development staff One-day after completion, the lab was deployed to Sol Vista for it’s first assignment Utilization for the first lab was in excess of 90% Instructors obtained their CDL

Industry demands continued to rise and capacity for on-site delivery was increasing Awarded a $2.0m Community Based Job Training Grant through U.S. DOL Enhance Existing and Develop Entry Level Manufacturing Training Programs Design and Build (3) additional Mobile Learning Labs Train 450 people: incumbent and unemployed (674 achieved) Based on extensive industry assessment/survey data, labs would have different capabilities Industrial Electrical Systems Industrial Mechanical Systems Industrial Manufacturing/Machining Systems Employed an electro-mechanical design and fab expert to lead the project for (3) labs Version 2.0

Typically 6-8 students in a mobile lab setting Training costs vary by: Specific Course Length Associated Material Expenses Lab Books & Reference Materials Travel expenses Specific Mobile Lab Use A General Rule-Of-Thumb for Courses at Your Site: No Mobile Lab: $25/hr/person (+ travel, min. no. of trainees required) Mobile Lab: $40/hr/person (+ travel, min. no. of trainees required ) Example: 6 students/group 16 hrs of training = $640 ea

The EWD Division at PCC Has Two Teams Operations Team – handles all pre/post training responsibilities Training Team – handles all course development, delivery, equipment, etc. Scheduling and Logistics is managed through a dedicated software application Event Management Systems (EMS) All Fixed and Mobile Assets All Instructor Schedules All Company Specific Training Events Provides Real-Time Planning, Load Analysis Multiple Seats / Multiple Campus Locations

Through a Federal Trade Adjustment Act Grant (TAA) Three new labs are in the design and build phase: Specific to serve the energy industry Oil, Gas and Mining Industries Mechanical Systems Electrical Systems Welding Systems Industry specific training equipment to be included MSHA safety training Deployed from the PCC/SCCC campus in Durango Version 3.0

Do labs for the Energy Industry Differ from Previous? Mechanical MLL - Adds a Helical Screw Compressor Cutaway for training in the Natural Gas Compression - Adding proportional hydraulic control valves on the Hydraulics Trainer – expands the advanced hydraulics classes - Additional shaft/coupling alignment trainer and adding 2 vibration trainers for more hands on capabilities - Expanding student computers from 3 to 6 stations Electrical MLL - Additional types of PLC’s (Control Logix, SLC500, Direct Logic and Siemens) Welding MLL - Increasing size of weld booths (6 inches wider) - Moved welders out of booths (to increase student work space) All MLL’s - Reducing vibration/noise from generators through use of more sound dampening materials and “Air Spring” vibration isolation mounts.
