27 DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS * Establish single local “portal” or access point to industry /business * Every MNSCU campus serves as access to entire system. * Utilize full extent of potential resources (e.g., MNSCU systems) * Establish direct and seamless connections to high schools. * Provide seamless transferring for students. * Recognize industry as the customer whose needs are paramount to any concerns of the provider. * Listen to industry. * Execute rapid response to needs – flexible, quick ramp up. * Provide core skills that transcend industries, then focus on business specific sets. * Method of delivery is whatever is appropriate and works for the customer. * Online is fine for introductory and background study, hands-on / face-to-face is needed for core skills. * Preference is for face-to-face to occur close to the work site if possible. * Innovative teaching. * Colleges should be “research gyms” with most up-to-date equipment. * Combine formal teach with on-the-job experience. * Flexibility in on-the-job training. * Assist industries to retain workforce within region. * Offer advanced degrees to retain professionals. * Foster career progression for all workers.
