A good leader uses data-driven evidence and proven practices from internal and external stakeholders to

solve problems, make decisions, and plan strategically.

NCCCS Data InitiativeObjectives and Desired Outcomes (excerpts)

Expand the individual and collective inquisitiveness of stakeholders within the NC Community College System to ask research questions that inform decisions and policies.

Incorporate a data review process that ensures accountability through the validation of submitted data.

Expand information accessibility by making all data users aware of the availability of predefined reports, web-based dashboards, statistical software, and training.

Utilize research findings and reports to educate policy makers on the extent to which various factors impact outcomes, including student enrollment, student learning, student completion, faculty and staff development, budget allocation, etc.

Comprehensive Program Analysis

A comprehensive statistical program analysis provides a college with in-depth information about their FTE and enrollment trends over a three-year period.

The report uses 20+ statistical data profiles to highlight trends in enrollment, FTE, and local workforce data; a summary of findings that outlines program strengths and areas of concern; and final recommendations in five areas: program development, course development, student development, administration, and workforce development participation.

Each report usually requires 30-40 hours of preparation.

What’s Trending

Accountability / Quality Assurance

Educational institutions are shifting to meet demands for greater accountability and the capability to demonstrate measurable outcomes.

In an effort to lead this culture shift to authenticate rigor, relevancy and results, we intend to revamp the accountability and credibility model for Continuing Education.

The Workforce Continuing Education division will develop tools to assist colleges in implementing internal controls to address practical and planning issues around program accountability and credibility.

The operational results of this new focus will include increased accountability for stakeholders, established expectations, and demonstrable outcomes as well as the encouragement of the use of leveraged resources.

What’s Trending


Discuss Topics:

o Credential Profile Forms

o CE Course Changes

o Tier Funding Validations

o National Career Pathways Studies

Rapid changes in technology and its pervasive influence in all industries demand continual upgrading of skills.

Employers want to hire workers with strong certified skills, and then build on that basic foundation with short-term training specific to the industry, company, or changes in work processes or technology.

Creating clear pathways for students to begin work toward an industry certification is a strategy that has great momentum. It is a promising strategy for increasing the educational attainment, earnings, and career prospects

What’s Trending

Employer Engagement

Alignment between the workforce and education systems has the potential to improve curriculum development, course planning in institutions, and consumer information necessary to improve student, parent, and educator decisions.

The key to good employer engagement is establishing good communications with them .. and that means not just telling them what you have but paying attention to their needs and wants.

Engagement is more than attending annual business advisory committee meetings or providing input regarding curriculum.

Effective engagement requires building deep, sustainable relationships that ensure curriculum design and credentials meet the needs of industry sectors/clusters important to the region, and that students exit institutions able to demonstrate that they have the skills and credentials needed by business.

Apprenticeship Program

Registered Apprenticeship

• Registered Apprenticeship is employer driven and designed to meet a company’s individual workforce needs.

• Working together, community college staff and the employer develops a training curriculum that includes a work process for the on-the-job training and related classroom technical theory instruction. The number of required on-the-job training hours and related technical theory contact hours depends upon the occupation.

• Simply put, “students earn while they learn.” Additionally, as an apprentice’s on-the-job skills progressively increase so does the wage.

Pre-Apprenticeship

Goals:• Provide youth and adults with a link between education in the classroom and skill training in the

workplace. • Create work experience opportunities in apprenticeable occupations and prepare individuals for

possible participation in registered apprenticeship programs. • Collaborate with existing services in the schools and workforce training system partners.
