Career Awareness 2012: Careers in Energy Week Essay Contest –Theme: “Energy Workers: Putting STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) to Work” - October 15-19, –High school participants wrote an essay in words describing how energy workers make a world of difference. –Winners will be announced November 26, –iPods will be awarded for top 3 essays. 2013: State Science Fair –58th State Science and Engineering Fair of Florida –March 26–28, 2013 –Lakeland Center, Lakeland –Three $500 awards for top 3 energy-related projects Objective –To improve the image of the electric utility industry and introduce the population to innovative, lucrative, and productive, career paths within our industry.

Energy is FL’s 17 th Career Cluster Partnered with Florida Department of Education to gain approval for the addition of an Energy Industry Cluster - FIRST IN NATION! Partnered with FDOE to develop 5 new secondary energy curriculum frameworks: –Energy TechnicianEnergy Technician –Power Distribution TechnicianPower Distribution Technician –Energy Generation TechnicianEnergy Generation Technician –Solar Energy TechnologySolar Energy Technology –Turbine Generator Maintenance, Inspection and RepairTurbine Generator Maintenance, Inspection and Repair

Energy Frameworks Most of these frameworks share 1 st two common courses: –Energy Foundations/ Industry Fundamentals (CEWD curriculum materials) –Introduction to Alternative Energy (NCCER curriculum materials) Energy Technician Course Framework (600 hours) –Energy Foundations/ Industry Fundamentals (CEWD) –Electricity 1 (NCCER Core, Your Role in a Green Environment) –Introduction to Alternative Energy (NCCER) –Electricity 2 (NCCER Electrical 1) Now developing 7 th grade (semester) and 8 th grade (year-long) course frameworks for middle schools

Energy Frameworks PSAV Programs Only –Electrical Line Service and RepairElectrical Line Service and Repair –Solar Photovoltaic System Design, Installation and Maintenance – Entry LevelSolar Photovoltaic System Design, Installation and Maintenance – Entry Level –Solar Thermal System Design, Installation and Maintenance – Entry LevelSolar Thermal System Design, Installation and Maintenance – Entry Level Degree & Certificate Programs/Courses –Electrical Distribution Technology (AAS/AS – )Electrical Distribution Technology (AAS/AS – ) Electrical Dist Technology Advanced (CCC – ) Electrical Dist Technology Basic (CCC ) –Electrical Power Technology (AAS/AS – )Electrical Power Technology (AAS/AS – ) Alternative Energy Engineering Technology (CCC )

Energy Cluster Working Group Housed in Florida Department of Education Division of Career and Adult Education – thanks to Kathryn Frederick! Chaired by Betsy Levingston of Lakeland Electric/ Co-Chaired by Jennifer Grove of Gulf Power; comprised of industry and education Goal is to keep curriculum current and market-driven by: Identifying occupations Developing 3-year program of work Overseeing implementation of program of work strategies, timeline & participants Adding web component to keep instructors up-to-date on hot topics and continuing changes in industry Our FEWC then shares this information with industry, workforce and education partners

Currently Underway Second year of Energy Industry Fundamentals First year of Introduction to Alternative Energy New Middle School Programs (grades 6 – 8): –Introduction to Energy (semester-long course) –Introduction to Energy and Career Planning (semester) –Fundamentals of Energy (1 year course) Academic Alignment of programs and courses with math & science

Academic Alignment What did we find? A LOT OF SCIENCE IN ENERGY CLASSES!!!

Sample Program Level Alignment: Solar Energy Technology

Sample course level: Introduction to Alternative Energy

Comprised of teachers from throughout Florida who are now delivering or interested in delivering energy curriculum in the future Launched with first training session in June, 2011 at Gulf Power in Pensacola – partnered with FACTE Provide communications from industry/consortium to this network of teachers through and have added teacher “toolkit” to FEWC website Second session was held June, 2012 (will be attended by reps from MS, KS, and CA too) – again with FACTE as a partner Florida Energy Teachers Network (then click Energy Teachers tab)

Florida GIECP Update Key Partners: Education partners (high schools, technical centers) State Workforce Board – Workforce Florida, Inc. – Youth Council Regional Workforce Boards (are providing WIA Youth Counselors to serve in career coaching role) Florida Ready-to-Work (Florida’s Work Keys Program) Carried out under guidance of FEWC Executive Committee

Florida GIECP Implementation Sites: Northwest FL Region: Jennifer Grove, Gulf Power –Gulf Power Academy at WFHS –Gulf Power Energy Institute at Milton High School –Electrical/welding programs at Locklin Tech –Youth STEM program in Okaloosa/Walton county this summer Polk County: Betsy Levingston, Lakeland Electric –Lakeland Electric Power Academy at Tenoroc High School –May add Traviss Career Center Electrical/welding programs Northeast FL: Sharon Patterson, JEA –STEM Academy at Raines High School Career academy implementations

EIF is Embedded in Florida’s Energy Career Cluster Most of these frameworks share 1 st two common courses: –Energy Industry Fundamentals (CEWD curriculum materials) –Introduction to Alternative Energy (NCCER curriculum materials) Energy Technician Course Framework –Energy Industry Fundamentals (CEWD) –Electricity 1 (NCCER Core, Your Role in a Green Environment) –Introduction to Alternative Energy (NCCER) –Electricity 2 (NCCER Electrical 1) Most commonly used in Florida career academies

Additional GIECP format… Youth STEM/ Energy Summer Program through a partner regional workforce board - –Funded by Workforce Florida, Inc. – state workforce board –Embedded Career Coaching and EIF pieces of GIECP – goal was to refer to relevant technical training Students were enrolled full-time over the summer Students continue to meet regularly through WIA Youth program throughout year – focusing on remediation training, employability skills, and the math bootcamp

EIF Feedback from Year 1: Solid course with great content and materials. Some improvements need to be made (CEWD working on revisions). Detailed “train-the-trainer” and opportunity to learn from other instructor experiences is very valuable. Be sure to embed industry speakers and field trips along the way! Plan for this at beginning of school year. Key issues with end of course exam for high school students – working with CEWD and EIF Credential Advisory Committee on changes to address this concern.

Recruited: 169 Met with Case Mgr: 118 Took Work Keys: 111 NCRC Silver or above: 72 Took Employability Skills: 20 Pass Employability Skills: 12 Completed EIF: 79; EIF Currently enrolled: 26 Take pre-employment test: 11; Test Passed: 10 Total credentials earned: 224 (including NCCER) Hired (paid internships)12 Florida GIECP Metrics numbers include WFHS, Locklin Tech, Milton High School, Okaloosa/Walton STEM Youth program, Raines High School – will add Polk County this winter ALL are enrolled in relevant program

Critical Success Factors Meaningful partnerships at the state level with state Dept. of Education and state Workforce Board are CRITICAL! True industry engagement – have to be in it for the long haul! Must engage at state level for policy and local level for implementation. Need platform to build teacher/program network throughout state – instructors need support of other instructors – especially with new curriculum! Don’t implement anything that doesn’t already fit your plan!
