This approach connects every community to the full range of economic possibilities locally and regionally. People land good jobs, businesses grow and thrive, and the economy prospers. This document briefly discusses how Washington's community and technical colleges are contributing to a prosperous economic future in the following ways: producing students who are filling existing positions and creating new jobs through entrepreneurial endeavors; focusing on training students for careers in STEM fields; deploying programs throughout the college system as industry needs arise; and tracking local and state job needs and responding quickly to meet critical labor market shortage.

Download or read book Creating Sustainable Community Programs written by Mark R. Daniels and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2001-02-28 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public opinion polls consistently reveal the lack of confidence, disillusionment, and mistrust that citizens feel toward government. Daniels and his contributors believe that the relationship between citizens and their governments can be changed by facilitating greater citizen collaboration with government, particularly through local sustainable programs. As the case studies show, often sustainable community programs are created through grassroots movements that are initiated and managed by citizens themselves, bringing them in contact with their local elected and appointed officials. Unlike traditional programs that are administered by local officials on behalf of their citizens, once sustainable community programs are created, citizens administer their own programs in collaboration with local officials. The case studies look at a variety of sustainable programs, primarily in the United States, that help to deal with issues such as recycling, transportation, microcredit, site redevelopment, pollution, health care, and hunger. Creating Sustainable Community Programs is the first book on sustainable programs that is intended for an audience of public administration scholars, researchers, and students as well as practitioners who are searching for ways to change the relationship between citizens and their governments.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than ever before, demographic changes in Washington combined with increasing workforce skill demands require an educated citizenry in the state. This paper describes a new initiative by the Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges aimed at measuring colleges and awarding funds to them for improvements in the significant steps students take towards higher achievement. The promising practices that emerge from these efforts are an important part of the initiative. How colleges use the information on campus and share it with each other will be vital to the strategies they employ. (Contains 4 "examples" in graph form.)

Download or read book STEM ING the Skills Gap Washington s Community and Technical Colleges written by Washington (State). State Board for Community and Technical Colleges and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 2 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Washington could add as many as 110,000 new jobs by 2017 by closing skill gaps--the mismatch between the skills people have and those employers need, according to a March 2013 Washington Roundtable report. STEM professions face the most critical demand. Of the 25,000 jobs vacant for three months or more due to a shortage of qualified candidates, 80 percent are in high demand STEM and health care fields. Employers are desperate to find STEM workers, while job-seekers without STEM training are struggling to find work. Employers need multiple levels of STEM education, including short-term training certificates, associate degrees, and bachelor's degrees. Two-year colleges produce talented graduates at these levels. Students gain skills to enter STEM jobs directly, or transfer to a four-year university. For example, 24 of Washington's 34 community and technical colleges offer aerospace-related training. Twenty-eight offer registered nursing and 23 offer practical nursing. Two-year colleges train students for jobs in emerging fields: cyber security, nanotechnology, radiology, composites, and dozens of other STEM professions that drive Washington's economy. Students get precisely the training employers want and land good jobs when they finish. STEM students can move seamlessly from two-year colleges to four-year universities thanks to associate transfer degrees and agreements that allow credits to transfer in particular majors. Applied baccalaureate degrees in STEM fields are now available at several community and technical colleges. Students build onto their two-year degrees in fields such as radiation and imaging sciences, health care technology and management, nursing, and information systems and technology. Community and technical colleges are uniquely positioned to get training programs up and running in a matter of months, not years. Investing in community and technical colleges will help close the skills gap now.

Download or read book Reforming Capitalism for the Common Good written by Whalen, Charles J. and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2022-08-23 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book of carefully selected essays, Charles Whalen presents constructive analyses of vital economic problems confronting the United States since the 1970s, giving special attention to challenges facing working families. The analyses are grounded in Whalen’s career of more than three decades, during which he has gleaned insight from institutional and post-Keynesian economics and contributed to national economic policy-making, equitable regional development, and worker engagement in business decisions. The result is a compelling case for reforming capitalism by addressing workers’ interests as an integral part of the common good, and for reconstructing economics in the direction of post-Keynesian institutionalism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using both historical and contemporary contexts, The Child Welfare Challenge examines major policy practice and research issues as they jointly shape child welfare practice and its future. This text focuses on families and children whose primary recourse to services has been through publicly funded child welfare agencies, and considers historical areas of service—foster care and adoptions, in-home family-centered services, child-protective services, and residential treatment services—where social work has an important role. This fourth edition features new content on child maltreatment and prevention that is informed by key conceptual frameworks informed by brain science, public health, and other research. This edition uses cross-sector data and more sophisticated predictive and other analytical processes to enhance planning and practice design. The authors have streamlined content on child protective services (CPS) to allow for new chapters on juvenile justice/cross-over youth, and international innovations, as well as more content on biology and brain science. The fourth edition includes a glossary of terms as well as instructor and student resource papers available online.
