Between 2010 and 2020, population in the region is expected to grow slightly slower than the state as a whole. This indicates that job growth rates may be similar. Worker age and salary profiles are similar to those for the state as a whole.

Educational attainment in the region lags slightly behind Tennessee as a whole. Compared to the statewide average, 5% fewer residents of the region have only a high school degree or equivalent, and 7% fewer have a Bachelor’s degree or more.

According to the U.S. Census, the following industry sectors occupy a significantly higher percentage of the regional labor pool compared to the statewide average: agriculture, forestry, fishing, & hunting; manufacturing; and professional, scientific, & technical services.

The following industry sectors occupy a significantly lower percentage of the regional labor pool compared to the statewide average: transportation & warehousing; information; finance & insurance; and real estate & rental & leasing.

The regional employment outlook by industry cluster shown on page 200 comes from the Occupational Trends in Tennessee Employment Report (OTTER) from the Tennessee Department of Labor. All data are shown for Local Workforce Investment Area 4, which includes Campbell County.

According to this data, all industry demand clusters related to programs taught at TCAT Jacksboro are expected to grow between 2012 and 2020 except for Machine Tool Technology. The campus and industry advisors indicated that this is a strong industry. The job outlook in all industry clusters takes into consideration the following factors:

• Growth rate in the industry cluster relative to the statewide growth rate for that industry cluster

• Number of annual job openings

• Supply demand ratio (the ratio of graduates of programs in all related higher education programs to the number of job openings)

Program Analysis

The regional context above shows broader trends in the region. In order to obtain a more detailed picture of the needs of each program, the master planning team interviewed the TCAT Director, members of the Business and Industry Advisory Group, and key faculty. In addition, all faculty were invited to participate in an online survey.

The following paragraphs summarize the results of the input received by these methods for each program. There are currently no full-time evening programs. TCAT Jacksboro is unique in the TCAT system because it offers classes Monday through Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. This compresses the academic week, which saves students travel and allows the campus to be used for industry training on Fridays.

Enrollment in the Automotive Technology program is expected to increase in the next five years, in part due to growing regional demand.

Enrollment in the Business Systems Technology program is expected to remain constant in the near future.

The Computer Information Technology program is expected to increase in enrollment in the next five years, due in part to improved marketing and equipment.

Based on these factors, the following programs are predicted to have an excellent job outlook in the region: Business Systems Technology, Computer Information Technology, and Industrial Electricity.

A number of programs are expected to have a more competitive job market, in part due to the higher number of graduates in these fields relative to the number of anticipated job openings. Some of these graduates and job openings, however, may be related to four-year programs and not affect the demand for those with certificates or the Associate’s degrees into which some TCAT students articulate.

The Welding Technology program is expected to expand in the near future.

Potential Future Programs

Local industry leaders and/or the campus identified the potential to add the following programs in the future: marine motors, HVACR, surgical technology, patient care technician, phlebotomy, pharmacy technician, collision repair, cosmetology, customer service, truck driving, logistics, and culinary arts. In the short term, the potential marine program could be integrated with and share teaching space with the existing Motorcycle/ATV Repair program.

Based on data from the Tennessee Department of Labor, the following industries have excellent or very good job outlooks, but there are not currently any programs at TCAT Jacksboro that meet these industries’ needs: turf grass/nursery; horticulture; production animals; pharmacy assisting; veterinary technology; plumbing; HVACR; truck, bus, rail, water transportation & heavy equipment; warehousing & distribution centers; and collision repair.

A number of programs on the campus are expected to grow


Space Needs

The master planning team performed a detailed space audit of the Tennessee College of Applied Technology Jacksboro in order to obtain the most up-to-date room inventory. Room areas and use codes were updated as needed; a list of updates was provided to the campus.

Numbers from the updated space audit, combined with adjusted FTE enrollment data provided by the Tennessee Board of Regents central office (see table on following page) and employee counts provided by the campus, served as the inputs for the space model that calculated needed space. For details regarding the model and an explanation of its methodology, see Appendix A.

As shown in the chart at right, the model shows that there is currently a significant surplus of administrative office space and smaller surplus of faculty office space. Some instructors indicated the need for more office space in surveys.

The chart at center right compares four existing types of space with modeled space needs in those categories. The open computer lab category includes space for Technology Foundations, testing, and open computer labs. The model shows a surplus of this type of space, based on current enrollment.

The model shows that existing food service space is more than adequate. This category includes student lunch rooms or lounges, vending machine areas, and the like.

Meeting space includes space available for community use, staff meetings, and large gatherings of students. The model shows a surplus of this type of space. This space is important for its role in marketing to the regional community.

Central service and storage space does not include storage and service space for individual programs or for offices. It includes storage for campus-wide supplies, maintenance and janitorial supplies, surplus equipment, vehicle storage, and the like. The model shows that the amount of this type of space is nearly adequate.

The chart on the following page shows the model’s calculated needs for teaching space for each program. Teaching space is the sum of classroom and lab (also referred to as shop) space, as well as any storage or other space that directly supports teaching space.

Bars that extend to the right in the chart indicate a need for more space, while bars that extend to the left show a surplus of existing space. Where the bars show both surplus and need, the amount of existing space is within the acceptable range.

Because the model assumes a range of acceptable space, the darker blue bars show the minimum amount of space needed and the lighter blue bars show the maximum amount of space needed. All calculations are based on existing enrollment rather than capacity, so modeled needs would increase with enrollment. Adjusted FTE enrollment numbers include dual enrollment high school students.

The following paragraphs summarize each program’s space needs, based on the results of the model, interviews with faculty and administrators, and online survey responses.

• According to the model, the amount of teaching space for the Automotive Technology program is at the low end of the acceptable range, based on current enrollment. The campus indicated that the amount of existing teaching space is adequate.

• The model shows that there is currently more space than needed to serve enrollment in the Business Systems Technology program.

• The model also shows a surplus of teaching space for the Computer Information Technology program. The campus confirmed that the amount of teaching space is adequate.

• The amount of teaching space for the Industrial Electricity program is within the acceptable range according to the model.

• Teaching space for the Machine Tool Technology program would need to expand by between approximately 1,100 and 2,100 square feet to adequately serve enrollment according to the model. The campus confirmed existing crowding and the need for more space.

• According to the model, teaching space for the Motorcycle/ATV Repair program would need to expand slightly to adequately serve current enrollment.

• The amount of teaching space for the Practical Nursing (LPN) program is within the acceptable range according to the model.

• Teaching space for the Welding Technology program would need to expand by between approximately 1,600 and 2,400 square feet to adequately serve current enrollment according to the model.

Space Recommendations

The recommendations described below and shown in the plan on the following page are one potential solution to meet the most significant space needs described above. An addition to the Machine Tool program and one migration for the Welding program would provide space for existing needs. In the long-term, new buildings will be required for new programs.

• Construct an addition to the Machine Tool Technology program where shown on the plan.

• Construct an addition to the Welding Technology program as shown on the plan.

• Renovate rooms 107 & 108 in the Admin Classroom building (currently used as a break room and conference room) for use for the proposed Pharmacy Technician program.

• As future renovations and migrations occur, existing administrative office space should be made more efficient.

• As future programs are added, new buildings should be constructed where shown on the plan. A new building in the front of the campus could provide space for existing and future health programs. A new building on the south side of campus could provide space for programs requiring high bay space, such as HVACR, collision repair, or marine motors.

A number of technical programs have needs for additional space

Facilities Needs

A comprehensive facilities needs assessment was conducted by architectural and engineering representatives of the master planning team. The detailed results and comments of that assessment have been documented in the online Physical Facilities Survey. The primary needs are as follows:

• Multiple structural cracks were observed and need attention, particularly in the Shop Buildings.

• Exterior enclosure at Admin Classroom needs attention regarding multiple issues

• The electrical system in all buildings is at capacity.

• Data cables in some locations are haphazard and should be placed in conduit.

• Several plumbing fixtures in the Shop Buildings have reached the end of their useful life.

• The city recently replaced a water meter near the Shop Buildings; older flush valves are sticking open.

• The ventilation system in the Welding lab appears to be inadequate.

Site Needs

No significant site needs were identified during the walk-through. Some cracking was noted in the parking lot and driveways, which need sealing. Parking lot lighting needs improvement. The security gates and fence are in good condition. An intercom system is desired to improve safety and communications.

According to parking ratio assumptions developed as part of this Master Plan, and based on the existing number of students, faculty, administrators, and staff on the Main Campus, parking is currently adequate on campus.

There are no recommendations for property acquisition adjacent to TCAT Jacksboro.

Gates and fencing on campus have increased security
