Randy welcomed all members and guests into the meeting.  He also explained the rationale for restructuring CTE/Workforce Steering committee. The goal is for the CTE committee to meet once a month or more if needed.  

Some of the operational goals for the group include: 

• Vetting the Resource Allocation spreadsheet for CTE programs to compile the SWP or Perkins fund list that IPBT can smoothly review for approval. IPBT may categorize other funding sources for items that do not qualify through CTE grant funds.  
• Get department perspective on changing CTE landscape to help with program reviews
• It can be part of the college CTE committee as an advisory for college

We will be exploring committees' goals and vision as we progress. 

Institutional Research Supervisor introduced herself and her involvement with the CTE departments. Every year IR department reports the CTE outcome for the whole college, CTE Job placement rates, and CTE license passing rates to the accreditation committee. The reporting is based on the Perkins core measurement system. Each CTE programs' goal rates are published in the Institutional Research website (Deanza.edu/ir) under the Educational Master Plan and Annual Updates. The achievable goals are set 56% above the average goal and standard 1% above the average goal. She encouraged the department to contact her if these rates need to be adjusted as we do not want to fall below the set rates. She highlighted that all CTE programs have been meeting the standard or above rates for job placements.  

Mallory also introduced the Degree and certificates awarded reports listed on the Institutional Research website:  http://deanza.edu/ir/AwardsbyDivision.html. The reports are updated every September. All the reports can be tailored to the department's needs as requested.

All CTE requests have been processed.  We are on target to spend out SWP Round 3 funds.  We have $1.2 Million to spend by December 2021 for CTE enhancement through SWP Grant.  The Perkins fund of approximately $438,000 has to be sped by June 2021.  Vins encouraged all departments to track and follow up on their ordered items for on-time delivery and payment.  Please request all invoices to Vins that we can pay the vendor within the due dates.  Randy asked the department to utilize the available resources and spend the allocated budget in a timely fashion.  Randy requested the department to review and bring forward any enhance or expanding ideas for programs to achieve student success and job placements.  Randy mentioned that the CTE department is working with the DMT department to expand and enhance the 3D printing lab, expand the building for approximately $200,000.

Vins asked the department to think about 2021/2022 SWP projects as the college has to submit them to the NOVA system by the end of January 2021.  The focus of the projects should be job attainment and sustainability.

Randy encouraged everyone to participate in the zoom meeting. He emailed everyone the zoom details and asked to reach out if the information needed to be located again.

Randy stated that he is working with the guided pathway team to create a different pathway for adult students.  This will requires CTE program mapping to help the college and students.  We also need to consider which GE pathway will help our CTE certification pathway that can benefit students.
