6. Strong Workforce Program “More and better” CTE
“more” - increasing the number of students enrolled in programs leading to high-demand, high-wage jobs.
“better” - improving program quality (e.g. more students completions, student transfer, employment, improved earnings.)
Outcomes:
Data-driven outcomes (rather than activities)
Requirement: Labor market demand
CTE Data Unlocked – component of the program helps use CTE data to strengthen regional workforce plans

13. Process of Funding Allocation & Disbursement
SWP Regional Plan: Teacher Preparation Pipeline – STEM/CTE Collaborative Regional Plan
Process of Funding Allocation & Disbursement
Each participating college needs to submit a budget for Round 1 of the Strong Workforce Funds. The budget is for the time period that began 7/1/2016 and ends December 2018.
This budget should not include plans for funds that will be allocated in subsequent rounds of the SW program where there might be plans to expand programs.
Colleges will submit budgets based on Participant Agreements and will provide Rancho Community College with invoices for payment on a cost reimbursement basis, based on the budget and participant agreement
Each college will be responsible for its own budget and expenses.
The Lead College are “project leads,” not “fiscal leads,” and thus, do not have to distribute, monitor or account for expense of the participating colleges.

14. 17% Incentive Funding

15. Strong Workforce Program Funding
The legislation requires that funding be allocated in the following way, starting in :
doingwhatmatters.cccco.edu

16. Phase In of the SWP Incentive Model: 2017-18
The 83% funds will remain the same as in
The 17% incentive funding will be based on course enrollments and students who earned a degree or certificate in
doingwhatmatters.cccco.edu

17. Adjustments to the Strong Workforce Program Metrics
Starting in , course enrollments will no longer be part of the metrics.
Two new federally-aligned skills-gains metrics will be added:
the number of students who attained 12 credit units in CTE
the number of students who attained 48 noncredit CTE instructional contact hours
doingwhatmatters.cccco.edu

18. 17% Incentive Funding – starting 2017-18
Funding for every student with a positive outcome
Uses a points system
Colleges and regions will receive incentive funding for every CTE student who makes progress toward
completion
earns a certificate or degree
transfers to a four-year institution
secures employment,
or attains positive earnings outcomes
doingwhatmatters.cccco.edu

19. 17% Incentive Funding Allocation of Points
Some measures have different point totals:
Progress: 0.5 point for attaining 12 credit CTE units or 48 noncredit CTE instructional contact hours for the first time
Completion: 1 point for a credit certificate under 18 units or a noncredit certificate of hours, 2 points for a credit certificate of units or a noncredit certificate of over 288 hours, 3 points for a credit certificate of over 30 units or a degree
Employment in field of study: multiplies the rate at which students reported being employed in their field of study by the number of students in the CTE Outcomes Survey sample
Earnings in the second quarter after exit: divides the dollar value by ten to bring figures in alignment with other metrics
17% Incentive Funding
As a trade-off for offering unprecedented flexibility in the use of these dollars to drive more and better CTE, the Governor and Legislature incorporated this incentive to ensure that our colleges remain focused on delivering the much needed 1 million more industry-valued middle-skill credentials that served the goal of the Board of Governors Strong Workforce Task Force.
Performance-based formula - statute introduces a workforce success and social mobility incentive into the formula for allocating 1/6th of the dollars
starts the second year of Strong Workforce Program, funding and beyond

20. Submission Timeframe – SWP Round 2 Regional Projects
Round 2 regional funding will be available and at RSCCD (fiscal agent) as of July 1, July 1, 2017 to March 31, 2018 – may submit proposal December 31, CO to determine what % of 17% incentive funding withheld from Round 2 funding will go to each region.

21. Getting Credit for Student Outcomes
The SWP incentive funding levels are based on:
Data reported to the Chancellor’s Office through MIS
Employment data gathered by the state of California
The CTE Outcomes Survey
Colleges do not need to track student outcomes on their own.
doingwhatmatters.cccco.edu

23. Successful workforce outcomes are limited to these multiple measures:
INCREASE QUANTITY (“more”) - required
CTE enrollment
IMPROVE QUALITY (“better”) – choose at least one
Completion
Transfer
Employment rates
Employment in field of study
Earnings
Median change in earnings
Proportion of students who attained living wages

24. TOP Codes List of CTE and non-CTE TOP Codes (Released by the CO) What this means for TPP? Gives us the ability to apply for grants and look at outcomes in the same way as other sectors are doing it now. TPP as a cluster: TPP is now being integrated into the WEDD program portfolio CCCCO data tools, specifically starting with the Strong Workforce tab and the LaunchBoard will have all data grouped by this list.    Provide guidance on TPP areas of work and bring new visibility to the shortage of teachers.
