Budget Update and Discussion
Ms. Diane Brady, Fiscal Budget Division, gave updates on the current budget and 2012-13
budget. In the current year, the governor's budget is not settled. In original estimate, there was
to be $400 million cut expected to be offset by an increase in student fees of $10 per unit
bringing in $110 million, netting $290 million. Triggers were put into place in December to be
released if the money did not come in as estimated. December brought in $72 million plus $30
Page 1 of 6
million on top of the $400 million already in effect. As a result, all triggers applied along with
another $10 increase in student fees to offset the $30 million dollars. The fees will go into effect
in summer term.
There are three main sources of financing: student fees, property taxes, and state general fund.
The estimate is put in by Department of Finance. If the first two estimates are low, the state
doesn't put in more money to make up the shortfall. The shortfall is now at $149 million, due to
a shortage in property taxes and student fees. As fees increase, more students are qualifying for
fee waivers resulting in shortage to the original estimate and the state does not backfill. The first
fee increase did not bring in the money that was anticipated and the second fee increase will not
make a dent in the $30 million dollar shortage. Because of a lack of automatic backfill for
shortages, advocacy was focused on Advocacy Day visits.
For the 2012-13 budget, the May Revision will be able to consider the tax revenue received, then
the governor’s budget will be revised. Parts of the proposal: one, the categorical programs or
$411 million will go into one pot; and two, the general apportionment money will not be tied to
anything like FTS. The Governor proposes to change how community colleges are funded and
start from a blank slate. He proposes that the amount of funding will increase 4% per year, if
colleges are meeting a current unknown criteria. There is no detail to the new "plan". The Board
of Governors has the option of coming up with a new plan, as to how the funding would be
distributed to the colleges but can't be done in time for 2013. The January version of the budget
will not happen because the Legislature has the control of how colleges are funded and is
recommended that the Legislature keep control. Currently, what will happen on the budget is
unknown. Cal Grant proposals have been made by the Governor and rejected by the Legislature.
There will be no major cuts prior to seeing the May revision. All is contingent to the November
ballot and tax proposal. If tax proposal passes, the anticipated $218 million increase to the
budget will be used to unwind some of the present deferrals. The amount of $961 million dollars
in deferrals is currently being bumped from year to year. If everything passes on the November
ballot, the community colleges would get $218 million, there will be no new money available for
any growth, COLAs, etc. If tax proposal does not pass, there will be a new way of how money is
calculated. The system will have to pay for general obligation bonds up to $300 million dollars,
absorbed into the present money costs in the budget with no additional money. Budget hearings
will be starting next week in both the senate and assembly. The attendees were urged to discuss
the situation with their own districts and put together a Q and A Fact sheet between the CCC
Chancellor’s Office and the League. Discussion of Federal Funds being available, there are no
details at this time.
V.
Doing What Matters for Jobs and Economy
Ms. Van Ton-Quinlivan unleashed problem solving ideas. Strategize and be proactive. Key
theme is “Jobs and the Economy”. Deliver what the State of California needs. The brochure was
created by the Chancellor’s Office and will be continually updated. The brochure will be used as
a tool to communicate key strategic issues.
The community college system has regional economies and local decision making with a state
focused on sectors. The challenge of California is how to deliver. To navigate the response a
framework was developed, “Doing What Matters for Jobs and the Economy”. The framework is
broken down into four quadrants:
1. Give priority to what matters
 Consider labor market needs.
 Decide on program capacity as a region.
Page 2 of 6
2. Make room for what matters
 Retool programs that are not meeting current market need, provide technical
assistance. Revitalize.
 Need to know what jobs are vacant.
 Colleges collaborate.
 Concerned that cuts may occur in more expensive programs rather than
desirability of program.
3. Student success matters
 Adopt common metrics and skills panels in CCCCO RFAs.
 Assess for career readiness (basic and academic).
 Job readiness, articulation with K-12 aligned with colleges.
 To have a study of regions, must agree on common set of regions.
 Through varies methods of funding want to strengthen regions with four skillsets;
data mining, convening, technology, and curriculum approval.
 Top level participation from all CEOs and Chancellor’s Office should broadcast
what is regionally important on basic practices.
 Two initiatives that add value (Department of Labor Tact Grant and CA
Education Policy Fund). Currently in discussion with Smarter Balance and
need to have a stronger voice from CCCCO because it is not well represented
by California.
 The “common core” has adopted implementation plan and is work in progress.
The common core is Math and English. What is the definition of career
readiness? Need distinction between career readiness and career preparedness.
Direction of SB70 is now being looked to better the goals in systemic way.
4. Innovate what matters
 Solve complex workforce training needs so that our system can better deliver
for employers and sectors.
 Curriculum approval.
 EWD’s programs have strength.
Mr. Rainey had brought together multiple sectors together with community colleges. Challenge
was to figure out how to make the money work. Built model that moves from growth sectors,
applied industry partnerships to regional partnerships to a state leadership body, then up to the
Governor to develop shared goals, methods for meeting those goals, monitor progress and course
correction, as needed. The plan is to use model and roll it out statewide. If funding doesn't come
through, the partners are committed to continuing their work and seek alternative funding. Mr.
McMahon commented that he is interested in pushing CTE into the initiative to work with
workforce intermediaries. It takes coordination to bring all parties together. The community
colleges are one piece of large puzzle and take a lot of coordination to push initiative forward.
Themes discussed were “sectors” and “regions”.
Ms. Ton-Quinlivan broke the meeting members into three groups based on three questions:
1. How to better affect college decision making around budgets, courses, and programs to
better align with labor market needs?
Discussion from the first group: There were two streams, one on challenges and the second on
possible solutions. It was noted that it would be helpful if the state would come back with a
codification of the revised missions. Discussed data and the procurement of data and there were
suggested talking points on data: operational views with definitions to allow an across the board
application; preparedness and follow-up on students; funding models and problems; tools that
Page 3 of 6
would be helpful with businesses, student tracking and case studies; validation of results; and
talking to the companies with surveys to open dialogues.
2. What to do with tenured faculty whose programs are being retooled?
Discussion from the second group: Reframed the question, “making the programs more
responsive and more responsible and the impact it has on faculty”. There were four suggestions.
First, include faculty leave for retraining by setting up a tuition account. Second, technicians for
externships, and third, operational challenges addressing internal skills gap due to leaving
faculty. Forth, career laddering and career latticing providing folk’s the resources and having
faculty, Human Resources, labor, and systems office at the table. The systems office intent is to
enable these best practices. The kind of resources being asked of the Chancellor’s Office are
human capacity and dollar resources, it is about restructure systems and how systems meet.
3. What strengthens regional decision making and regional accountability?
Discussion from the third group: Started discussion on how to define "regions". Most of the
conversation focused on convening, coordinating and aligning. Who needs to be at the table and
acknowledged a need to create forums for various groups to come together to express specific
interests and what entities should convene at these meetings. Need to have a compelling reason
to be at this table, it should be focused around economic growth and prosperity. It was suggested
that the right entity would be like that of “Lead Sacramento” where it has all key leaders from
education and chamber. There was a discussion regarding aligning high school skills on into
college programs creating linkages and pathways. Also, acknowledged accountability. The
discussion was concerned with data and its alignment throughout the community colleges. The
context of the data needs to be good and reliable data, and be able to share that data. Lastly, there
was discussion on fragmentation and diversity of California regions and a need to collaborate.
Because of the existing structure on how EWD works today, it was felt that the questions were
being answered by community colleges and outside entities. One question unanswered was how
Initiative Directors work today and how much change will be involved for them.
Ms. Ton-Quinlivan moved on into the vision on how to galvanize state resources in order to
support regional activities. Focused on community colleges and realizing the role needed to be
involved in sector strategy and the state's economic development. Introduced the idea to
integrate, for a greater impact, by "braiding" funding streams, which is what the Federal
Government is doing. The three pots of funds include: EWD, Perkins, and SB70. Each will
move forth different elements of the same architecture. There's also a larger pot available called
state apportionment, about $5.5 billion that colleges make local decisions on. By blending these
pots it would be collectively more impactful. Several suggestions were made for funding sources
(DOL leveraged, basic skills initiative dollars, SB734, Perkins, and Initiatives).
“Braiding” as a policy change is ultimately the idea to change how dollars would be distributed.
Rather than just looking at EWD money, look at all money and use dollars to support regional
structures and EWD support overlay of these structures.
Another model shared that would simplify the system for our partners starts with the regions selfidentifying their sector priorities. To get result of how to use the EWD funds: deploy Initiative
Directors to deal with complexity; by dealing in multiple regions, designate sector navigators and
simplify system for all the partners; sector navigators reduce complexity; and sector creates
system of stackable credentials. Once the stack is modularized, focus on tier and the skill gap can
be closed.
Next discussion reviewed the high value EWD program and its three strengths through the
Initiative Directors and the community college system to move the needle on jobs and the
Page 4 of 6
economy: 1) Labor market information to inform decision making, 2) Moderate complexity
through system of sector navigators, and 3) Skills panel, how EWD reacts to industry need. The
navigators would be multiregional.
Who will be needed at the EDPAC table beyond those already committed to forward the strategy,
was the last topic discussed. What are the action items that EDPAC can contribute?
 Skills Panel could have an advisory committee and foundation element.
o The foundation element would translate into who would be called to the table
 Examples of those called to table: CEOs, Political leaders,
training agencies, employers, certification organizations, Deans of
universities
 Invite those from industry to a round table
 Utilize initiative and invite those people representing the initiative
 Have a small auditorium between businesses and colleges
 Need alliances in whatever is shaped. Use industry groups
statewide and national because they have already started working
on integrated issues. Use one of these groups from a broader
base. Under the existing statute, there should have an advisory
group for each one of the industry sectors.
 Currently, the Advisory Committee should support community
colleges at better labor market analysis, system measures, etc., to
make community colleges most affective at the skills panel tables.
The next step should be to develop a tangible action plan. Skills
panels are triggered when there is an industry need, have data
exchange. It could be possible for the agencies that hold the
credentials have their data interact with CCCEWD data. There
needs to be a mechanism to invite and welcome industry leaders
to hear that CCCEWD is a solution.
 State standards have an advisory committee already established.
 The participation needs to translate into action.
Ms. Brosseau, Facilitator, opened to comments on what worked with meeting format:
 Positive comments: advice, more interaction amongst board members, small groups that
did not have the same assignment, sequence (preparation, address challenges, sharing
outcomes with large group).
 Negative comments: missing Advisory Members, make sure representative metric works.
EWD Updates
Ms. Erin Larson gave update on the EWD reauthorization. SB 1402 is being carried by Senator
Lieu. The bill aligns and includes some of the changes that have been discussed in the meeting
today. A change to the EDPAC members, the membership will not be limited to the ten regional
economies. The bill is scheduled for Senate Education Committee hearing on April 18, 2012. An
extended invitation was asked of members to send in a letter of support prior to hearing. The SB
1070 and SB 1402 bills being reauthorized, the Chancellor’s Office will have a webinar and will
invite all members.
The EDPAC members strongly urged that all these issues and processes of the bill reauthorization
be shared on continual bases (start to finish). Members are concerned with language of bill.
Members suggested that Initiative Directors be involved in legislative visits.
Page 5 of 6
The Initiative Directors were involved in Advocacy Day and have done follow up to all visits.
They have also invited industry, business and labor representatives, to attest to the success of
program.
A discussion was raised about UCCI funding in 1070 that involves UC Chancellor's Office, what
it is and whether it will continue and the process for bringing concerns before the legislature prior
to the hearing on bills in general. The UCCI is being funded with carry over and is not being
called out. It is a joint planning with Department of Education and Chancellor’s Office. Need to
move forward and at June EDPAC have an in depth discussion about the implementations and
concerns.
Industry and Educational Programs
Mr. John Chocholak shared a benefit story for the education system. Due to a manufacturing
error from a Chinese manufacturer, Koehler allowed teachers and colleges in California to be
rewarded with $4 million dollars of equipment at only $8 per engine rather than $50. He shared a
short presentation from the California Resources Board on the engines donated to education. The
program introduced students to automotive technology with a complete source of study. He
noted that a problem that exists in California, there was not a specific entity for contact.
VI.
Public Comment
Ms. Gaertner shared a study on a key briefing, on new emerging, rapidly changing industries and
how research and tools are being used for reports.
Dr. Hsieh summarized:
 Group know ahead of time for preparation
 Follow-up on presentation “Vital to Jobs and the Economy”

High Value EWD Functions
Move the Needle on Jobs & the Economy
• To analyze, secure, and disseminate labor market data in a way that
informs and supports state, regional and local decision-making
regarding college programming, including decisions to increase or
decrease investments in programs of study in context of the
regional economy and state sector priorities
• To moderate the workforce system complexity for industry and
partners who interact with the community colleges – in particular,
for those competitive and emergent sectors that span multiple
geographic regions and a multitude of colleges – through a network
of sector navigators.
• To adopt a skills panel process, as a default process, when
responding to labor market needs. This closes the skill gap for
employers and helps students find their way.

Innovate What MATTERS:
Allied Health Project Overview
Innovate What MATTERS
Allied Health
Give Priority
 The healthcare industry: ambulatory services, acute care
hospitals, skilled nursing & residential care facilities
 Healthcare employment = 1.5 million jobs statewide
 Healthcare will continue to be a major economic driver as the
state’s population increases and the current workforce ages
 Projections from the California Hospital Association: the State
will need to train 1 million more healthcare workers by 2030
 CA Community Colleges currently train over 70% of ADN
nurses and most of the needed allied health professionals
 Radiology Techs, Lab Techs, Dental Hygienist, PTAs and more
Innovate What MATTERS
Allied Health
Make Room
 Statewide CCs lack the capacity to meet employer needs
 Healthcare (HC) employers rely on CCs for incumbent worker
training
 Many HC employer groups have educational funds to pay for
training, either as an individual student or cohorts of students
 SEIU is the largest healthcare union representing more than
300,000 members
 Educational funds have members dispersed in small groups statewide
 All prerequisite courses needed for allied health occupations are
impacted!
Innovate What MATTERS
Allied Health
Promote Student Success
 Utilize student support services provided by employer educational
funds to increase career ladder mobility
 Schedule classes and trainings for working adults or students
 Consider accelerated or condensed course curriculums
 Using a regional approach, pool multiple employers to fill cohorts
for occupational specific trainings
 Using existing CCCCO regions to identify lead colleges for each
allied health occupation, and/or develop regional “Centers for
Allied Health Education and Training”

Initiative Reports
August 2012
Health Workforce Initiative
Linda Zorn
The Health Workforce Initiative (HWI) has created and continues to implement a successful structure for a statewide
advisory committee. This work is in complete alignment with the Doing What Matters for Jobs and the Economy
strategic initiative from the CCCCO. The HWI conducts three meetings annually of a statewide advisory committee.
The committee is governed by the bylaws which allow for a minimum of 12 and a maximum of 25 voting members.
These voting members consist of business/industry representatives from major medical centers statewide, governmental
appointees, health care related associations, secondary/ROP programs, community college allied health faulty and
program directors, and others as appointed by the committee. Each HWI regional center also convenes an advisory
committee to guide the programming of the center.
As industry makes requests, HWI programming is aligned to respond to the identified need. One example is the request
for more training on cultural and linguistic competency. HWI has completed 9 of 17 modules for integration into any
community college allied health program on this topic. These modules are now available on our website http://cahwi.org/. Modules completed include:
a.

Cross-Cultural Communication Style and Differences
Patient-Centered Communication with Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Patients
Bilingual Staff vs. Trained Medical/Healthcare Interpreters
Managing Effective Patient Communication Through Medical/Healthcare Interpreters
HWI utilizes the DACUM Job Analysis process to respond to identified industry need for emerging occupations. This is
very similar to the Skills Panel concept. A DACUM panel is convened consisting of expert workers to define their
occupation in terms of successful task performance. An industry advisory panel is also convened to validate the skills
and competencies required for this job/occupation. The HWI website contains a listing of the DACUM Job Analyses
completed by the Initiative - http://ca-hwi.org/.
Interactive Internet & Mobile Applications for Business
Steve Wright
Our Initiative’s goal is to cause positive economic and workforce development results by encouraging business to
accelerate the utilization of interactive internet and mobile applications for business (iima4biz). This effort is
accomplished by direct to business workshops and curriculum development with California Community Colleges (CCC)
Faculty. Iima4biz currently has three programs being utilized.
First is the Social Media Management Workshop. This is an online workshop, www.web4biz.org, with a Completion
Certificate that has been announced thru press releases and social media marketing to the general public. It has also been
made available to CCC Faculty to use as a curriculum asset in their classes. Currently there are ten CCC Classes signed
up for use and 135 registered users from the general public.
The second program, Tecnificate, is the third Tecnificate that was recently held on May 19th at Hartnell College.
Marketing included on air interviews with Univision-Salinas and had over 120 attendees (20 were via live streaming).
There is a video on-demand recording available online.
Lastly, the Social Media Curriculum Collaborative is a pilot effort to stimulate the development of a CCC Social Media
Certificate. The collaboration website, www.ccc-colab.org., is where interested Faculty from all 112 Colleges are invited
to share and join in a project managed by iima4biz. These will enable Faculty to develop a generic Social Media
Curriculum/Certificate template for use at any CCC institution. Twelve faculties are currently registered and
participating.
Environment, Health, Safety, and Homeland Security Initiative

Model certificate development was started for Water and Geospatial Technologies. This includes the development of
skills panels, micro-credentials and badges. Each program will be aligned to industry needs and will include core and
elective courses, and fulfill STEM requirements. For Geospatial Technology the core courses will be: Introduction to
Geospatial Technologies, Spatial Analysis, Data Acquisition and Management and Cartographic Design and
Visualization. The elective courses will be: Introduction to Remote Sensing, Programming and Web Application
Development, Field Data Collection and Internship. Micro-credential and badge development will be based on the DOL
Geospatial Competency Model, Reviewed by a California Community College Geospatial Educator panel and Vetted by
an Industry Advisory Group. The Geospatial Program Standard will be held and administered by recognized national
industry professional group where testing and administration will be completed. The colleges will be encouraged to
align their Geospatial programs to the industry recognized standard so students can develop their portfolio of badges and
micro-credentials. This approach will enhance student success, persistence, life-long learning and career pathway
development.
In addition, twenty-three corps members spent a week in training at the Greenwood Center last month and became the
first in the CCC to be certified as Environmental Health and Safety Technicians. They were among more than 400 corps
members throughout the state who had previously completed 40-hour Hazwoper training -- Hazardous Waste Operations
and Emergency Response -- taught in 17 locations by the Northern California Environmental Training Center directed by
Michael Hall. The training included units on hazardous waste labeling, blood borne pathogens, confined space entry,
incident command system, hazardous material transportation, hazard communication, and forklift certification. Included
in the training was a presentation from Rodney Woody, general manager of the West Coast region for Clean Harbors.
He gave an overview of his company, its benefits, and the types of positions corps members would be eligible for after
their certification. Clean Harbors has already hired at least one former CCC member, he said. Rodney is an industry
member of the advisory committee for the Job Incentive grant.
Applied Competitive Technology Initiative
Jose Anaya
CACT’s formed partnerships and collaborated with industry, colleges, businesses, and economic agencies to help train
and place individuals in jobs. These partnerships resulted in colleges and centers developing new training programs,
expanding services and meeting the needs of business and industry. Surprisingly there is still a skills gap; manufacturers
cannot find enough skilled workers. To address this need, the CACTs focused on training individuals for in-demand
skills in partnership with hiring companies. These efforts resulted in 145 individuals receiving jobs. The training was
primarily in areas like CNC machining, printing, optics, solar, welding, and wind.
Focused on Industry Sectors: Based on regional workforce needs, the CACTs provided technical assistance, develop
curricula and deliver training to manufacturers Statewide that resulted in 190 individuals receiving industry certifications.
Supplying in-demand skill set for employees and students: This past year, CACTs trained over 3,200 individuals in
manufacturing related skills and served 321 manufacturers in delivering grants and contracts worth $40 million.
Pathways of training development & delivery with partners: CACTs continue to offer training to interested faculty from
all California Community Colleges and support high school partners to create a pipeline of students from the high
schools into college CTE programs.
Stackable industry sector related credentials, based on common metrics: Over 3,200 employees and students were trained
in: engineering and process technologies; industrial maintenance; managerial and supervisory; computer aided design
and drafting; skills standards and certifications; advanced materials; rapid prototyping and digital manufacturing;
benchmarking, quality ISO 9000 and AS9100; machining skills, CNC programming and CAD/CAM; and accelerated
technology boot camps.

(On medical leave until October 2012)
This is a time of shifting priorities. There have been a number of reports and policy recommendations issued recently
with the intent of making the community colleges more effective. These include the Little Hoover Commission report on
Updating the California Community Colleges to Meet Evolving Demands (LH), The Student Success Task Force
recommendations, and ‘Doing What Matters’ from the EWD program leadership. While there are commonalities among
the recommendations of these reports, there are distinct differences in key areas. It will be important for EWD leadership
to clarify what aspects of the various reports will take priority, issue clear policy direction to the initiatives in terms of
goals and emphasis, and be sure data collection and reporting systems capture measures of effectiveness that
appropriately reflect the new goals and priorities.
Energy & Utility Initiative
