Institute (2 weeks at PCC) July – Aug: Industry Mentors Recruited Aug/Sept: Academic Year Program, Part I Dec: First semester “Tech Challenge” competition, awards Jan-May: Academic Year Program, Part II May: Second semester “Tech Challenge” competition, awards May 8 th, D70 Students

19. Agenda/Topics: Orientation Shop Safety Lunches w/mfg. guest speaker Robotics AutoCAD Experiential Learning Communications Attitude MasterCAM Values & Ethics Machining Teambuilding Increased awareness of life-long career options in our region Create an educational pathway leading to options: Two-year associates degree, certificates and specialized training Four-year bachelors degree, engineering, project management, etc. Increased collaboration between the private sector employers and K-12 Bring a sense of realism for the importance of math and other subjects Snap-Kits Automotive Collision (painting) Welding Work-Keys Post Test Reading & Math Conflict Resolution

20. Recent request from EVRAZ-Rocky Mountain Steel Mill for a program Several companies in Colorado Springs have expressed an interest Researching national models for a state-wide approach we can adopt Arizona (Maricopa Community College) Washington State Iowa Desire is to be centrally administered, and locally flexible Align with the NIMS Credentialing/Certification process Link to degree options through community colleges and other technical training providers Start with the basics as early as 1 st qtr 2013 Major needs in the Denver Metro area, working with Jeffco now!

21. Through the Governor’s Office of Economic Development & International Trade, form a state-wide Manufacturing Alliance that will serve to support R&D, process improvement and job growth, Supply Chain development, etc. Create the “Colorado Workforce Network” made up of customized training services providers, break down service area barriers that are not in the best interest of the employers Combine resources to serve employers ( driven by best resource for needs ) Based on a successful machining apprenticeship model, expand to other fields Others? Approx. a Year Long Process to Implement
