1. Perkins 2015-16 End of Year Evaluation Fayetteville Technical Community College

2. Perkins funding made a difference at our college by: Allowing us to put the faculty and resources in place to offer high skill, high wage, and high demand programs such as Collision Repair & Refinishing Technology, AC, Heating & Refrigeration, and Cybersecurity.

3. Our college’s best practice using Perkins funds is: The expansion of our Collision Repair & Refinishing Technology program, which has taken off in enrollment, job placement, and notoriety. This is an example of a “true” career pathway with strong employer involvement. New this year is our CTE Success Coach position. We feel this is going to have a positive impact on our performance indicators.

5. 1. We strengthened the academic, career and technical skills of our students by: Academic deans meet monthly to discuss scheduling and integration opportunities. One example is offering Collision Estimating training to Business Administration students who are interested in pursuing employment in the insurance industry. Another example is working with the Math department to “tweak” the math courses that support our Engineering programs. Our Student Learning Center offers tutoring, testing, computer access, and study assistance during normal day & evening class hours.

6. 2. We linked career and technical education at the secondary level with career and technical education at the postsecondary level: Our High School Connections (HSC) program (Career & College Promise) is one of the most robust in the state with over 800 students enrolled. We offer 35 different CTE certificate options to our high school students. We provide training for the high school counselors each semester. We offer a HSC Open House in February, and conduct parent nights at each high school from February through April. We are currently finishing our application for a Certified Career Pathway in Collision Repair & Refinishing Technology.

7. 3. We provided students with strong experience in, and understanding of all aspects of an industry by: Ongoing speakers in the classrooms (Gerber Collision, PPG Paints, Cross Laminate Timber, Maps Surveying, etc) Field trips to construction sites, New Hanover Arboretum, and NC Society of Surveyors. Students from Collision Repair, Welding, Cosmetology, Criminal Justice, Fire Protection, and Culinary Arts participated in SkillsUSA events. 125 Students from Plumbing, Building Construction, AC Heating & Refrigeration, Medical Office Administration, Office Administration, Paralegal, Culinary Arts, Criminal Justice, Fire Protection, Accounting, Advertising & Graphic Design, Hospitality Mgmt., Healthcare Mgmt., Electronics Engineering, Funeral Service, Automotive Systems, Business Admin., Welding, Computer Info, Networking, and Horticulture participated in Work-based Learning experiences in the Spring semester.

8. 4. We developed, improved, or expanded the use of technology in career and technical education by: Certified Online Instructor courses available to all faculty. Provided training in the use of new equipment in the Radiography, Computer-Integrated Machining and Welding programs (Digital Radiography, Optical Gaging Products and Lincoln Cutter).

9. 5. We provided professional development by: Multiple professional development courses offered throughout the year - http://www.faytechcc.edu/professional-development- schedule/http://www.faytechcc.edu/professional-development- schedule/ Contracted with Dr. Lorae Roukema from the Campbell University School of Education to offer seminars to faculty on “Facilitating Class Discussions”, “Learning Through the Eyes of the Student”, “Instructional Strategies to Promote Engagement”, “Motivating the Adult Learner”. Provided I-CAR training to high school Collision Repair teachers. Annual update & training for high school principals, counselors, and EC teachers.

10. 6. We developed and implemented evaluations of our career and technical education programs by: The following annual surveys were conducted: Support Services Survey Special Populations Satisfaction Survey Job Placement Survey Non-returning Student Survey Graduate Survey Employer Satisfaction Survey

11. 7. We Initiated, improved, expanded, and modernized quality career and technical education programs, including relevant technology by: Continued growth of Collision Repair & Refinishing Technology program with expansion into additional facility Initiated a Gunsmithing program Initiated a Cybersecurity program Purchased robotic welder for Welding Program Installed a Criminal Justice Mock Courtroom Hired a CTE Career Coach to address low performance indicators in our CTE programs (1P1, 2P1, & 4P1)

12. 8. We provided services and activities that are of sufficient size, scope, and quality to be effective as evidenced by: All CTE programs of study are approved by the Programs Review Committee at the NC Community College System Office. All CTE programs of study are approved by SACSCOC.

13. 9. We provided activities to prepare special populations students who are enrolled in CTE courses by: Special Populations Coordinator’s time & effort is 40% dedicated to CTE as evidenced by her time sheets and student logs. Ongoing referrals are made to the Cumberland County NCWorks Career Center for WIOA funding.

14. Closing Thoughts The Certified Career Pathway application process was more involved than anticipated and was not completed in the time frame indicated on the local plan. We had intended to update our local articulation agreement, but we put it on hold pending the final changes to the Information Technology programs due to the updates to the curriculum standards and pending DPI making high school Collision Repair a state- sponsored curriculum again. We will address the articulation agreement in the fall. Personnel changes resulted in the Career Pathways Handbook work not being completed.
