4. Strong Workforce Program Funding
$248 million in Career Education funding for
60% of funds go to districts, 40% of funds go to regions (after 5% goes to state leadership)
Per legislation, incentive funding is required beginning
All components of incentive funding model are fixed in the legislation

6. 17% Committee
Included all major college roles, industry representative, Chancellor’s Office staff & researchers
Developed the model after reviewing research from other states and consulting with experts
Tested models to ensure fairness
Selected model showed no bias toward specific types of colleges based on location, size, scale of CTE offerings, and type of students served

9. Economically Disadvantaged Students (EDS)
EDS are weighted to incentivize the closure of equity gaps
Use Perkins Definition of EDS
Applies to most SWP metrics
KATHY
Weighted 1.5 times the points for each metric
Awarded BOG Waiver
WIOA Participant
Awarded Pell Grant
Reported as economically disadvantaged
CalWORKS Participant

10. SWP Course Enrollments Metric
# of registrations in CTE courses (may include duplicated students)
SWP Incentive Funding Model Calculation:
EDS = points for each course registration by EDS
Non-EDS = points for each course registration by Non-EDS
KATHY

11. SWP Credential Attainment Metric
# of CTE students who earned a degree or certificate:
Locally-issued certificate (6 to 17 units)
Chancellor’s Office approved certificate (12 units or more)
Noncredit award (48 hours or more)
Associate’s degree
CCC Bachelor’s degree
Apprenticeship Journey status attainment
Credential Attainment Metric does not include Third-party Credentials at this time.
KATHY

12. SWP Credential Attainment Metric (cont’d)
SWP Incentive Funding Model Calculation:
Each student is counted only once per year. Points are given for a student’s highest point-value award attained.
CO-approved certificate of 12 to < 18 units
EDS = 1.5 points
Non-EDS = 1 point
Locally-issued certificate of 6 to <18 units
Noncredit award of 48 to < 288 hours
CO-approved certificate of 18 to < 30 units
EDS = 3 points
Non-EDS = 2 points
Noncredit award of 288+ hours
CO-approved certificate of 30+ units
EDS = 4.5 points
Non-EDS = 3 points
Associate’s degree
CCC Bachelor’s degree*
Apprenticeship Journey status*
KATHY
*CCC Bachelor’s degree and Apprenticeships not included in

13. SWP Transfer Metric
# of CTE students who transferred to a 4-year institution after exiting the CCC system
SWP Incentive Funding Model Calculation:
EDS = 1.5 points for each EDS who transfers
Non-EDS = 1 point for each Non-EDS who transfers
KATHY

14. SWP Progress Metrics
% of CTE students who attained unit/contact hour threshold:
12 credit units in CTE
48 noncredit CTE instructional hours
SWP Incentive Funding Model Calculation:
EDS = 0.75 points is awarded for each EDS who attains the unit or contact hour threshold
Non-EDS = 0.50 points is awarded for each Non-EDS who attains the unit or contact hour threshold
KATHY

15. SWP Employment Metrics
% of CTE students who were employed in the 2nd and 4th fiscal quarters after exiting the CCC system (excluding those who transfer to another institution of higher education)
SWP Incentive Funding Model Calculation:
EDS = 1.5 points awarded for each EDS employed in the 2nd and 4th fiscal quarters after exit
Non EDS = 1 point awarded for each Non-EDS employed in the 2nd and 4th fiscal quarters after exit
KATHY

16. SWP Employment Metrics (cont’d)
% of CTE students who report they were employed in a job closely related to their field of study
SWP Incentive Funding Model Calculation: (% of survey respondents who report this outcome) X (the total count of students who were sent the survey) = the # of points awarded
KATHY

17. SWP Earnings Metrics
Median earnings for CTE students in the 2nd fiscal quarter after exit of the CCC system (excluding those who transfer to another institution of higher education)
SWP Incentive Funding Model Calculation: 1 point is awarded for each $ earned, then divided by 10
KATHY

18. SWP Earnings Metrics (cont’d)
% change in median earnings for CTE students exiting the CCC system (comparing one year before and one year after exit)
SWP Incentive Funding Model Calculation:
EDS = 1.5 points for each EDS who increases their earnings
Non EDS = 1 point for each Non-EDS who increases their earnings
KATHY

19. SWP Earnings Metrics (cont’d)
% of CTE students that attained a regional living wage after exiting the CCC system
SWP Incentive Funding Model Calculation:
EDS = 1.5 points for each EDS who attains a regional living wage
Non EDS = 1 point for each Non-EDS who attains a regional living wage
KATHY

20. Metric Data Sources Course Enrollment metric
Chancellor’s Office MIS (CO MIS)
Progress metrics
Credential Attainment metric
Transfer metric
Most Employment metrics
Unemployment Insurance (UI) wage records from CA Employment Development Division (EDD) (matched with data from CO MIS)
Earnings metrics
Employment Related to Field of Study metric
Career & Technical Education Outcomes Survey (CTEOS)

21. Make Sure You Get Credit
Upload all locally-issued certificates into the Chancellor’s Office MIS
Participate in the CTE Outcomes Survey (cost covered by the Chancellor’s Office)

22. SWP Incentive Funding Calculations
JILL/MATT
SWP Incentive Funding Calculations

23. Incentive Funding Calculation: Local
Points for all CTE programs at all community colleges are totaled to create a statewide sum
Statewide sum is divided by the amount of total funding available for Local Share Incentive Funding to create a value per point
Value per point is multiplied by the number of points that each college received to determine its distribution
Multi-college districts: Distributions for all district’s colleges are summed to create the district distribution. Districts will determine how actual allocations are distributed to its colleges.
JILL/MATT

24. Incentive Funding Calculation: Regional
Points for all CTE programs are totaled at the regional level and added together to create a statewide sum
Statewide sum is divided by the amount of total funding available for the Regional Share Incentive Funding to create a value per point
Value per point is multiplied by the number of points that each region received to determine its distribution
JILL/MATT

25. Important Considerations
The Local and Regional Share Incentive Funding pots are fixed amounts
Each college, district, or region’s Incentive Funding distribution is relative
Multi-college districts have discretion on how to allocate Incentive Funding monies across their colleges
Information on each college’s Incentive Funding point totals

***FIX BEFORE WEBINAR***

26. Incentive Funding Timelines
Both the Base and Incentive Funding will be re-calculated annually
Moving forward all ten metrics (except course enrollments) will be included in the calculation
The annual Base Funding will be calculated prior to the start of each fiscal year (by July 1) and the Incentive Funding will be calculated six months later (by January 1)
