- W2603450222 abstract "COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGES need to be more nimble in meeting workforce needs while holistically allocating diminishing resources. Tri-County Technical College, a public two-year community and technical college serving Anderson, Oconee, and Pickens counties in the northwestern corner of South Carolina, enrolls nearly 9,000 students annually and offers more than 70 major fields of study, including computer technology, industrial electronics, mechatronics, nursing, and university transfer programs. The college boasts the highest student success rate among two-year colleges in South Carolina and ranks in the top five percent nationally among community colleges whose students successfully transfer to four-year colleges and universities.Tri-County developed a proactive academic program strategy to determine which programs will be offered in the future, including where, how, and when they will be offered. In addition, the program strategy evaluates which existing programs will be maintained or grown. Business and industry have long used product strategies to determine what will be delivered to the market to best meet consumer needs; similarly, Tri-County created its program strategy to be more responsive in meeting employer and community needs. The approach uses labor market data, engages faculty in decision making, and leverages insight from business and industry partners as well as advisory committees. It is necessarily nimble, responding to labor market changes, political interests, governance assessment requirements, and the need for continuous program improvement. Using this proactive approach, academic programming decisions can strategically impact curriculum design, enrollment management, learner support and engagement, student transitions programming, and facilities design. Overall, an effective program strategy improves both student access and success while helping the college be more nimble in meeting emerging labor market needs.PROGRAM STRATEGY COMPONENTSThe program strategy evaluates new and existing programs using comprehensive, data-informed processes. This novel approach integrates market analysis and program feasibility and viability to assess existing and new programs as a complete program mix (figure 1). The overall process is divided into new and existing program elements.MARKET ANALYSISBoth new and existing program analyses begin with a market analysis. The analysis consists of an environmental scan of the labor market/conditions as well as emerging trends. The data are generated from a combination of sources: the Department of Institutional Effectiveness, college deans, area economic development entities, and advisory boards. Using these data, each division conducts an analysis to identify opportunities for new programs as well as needed modifications to existing programs.NEW PROGRAM TRIAGEFaculty and deans evaluate new program ideas using criteria related to economic development impact, program delivery capacity, effect on student success, and program sustainability and risk. Key external stakeholders are involved in the evaluation process, providing insight from business, industry, economic development, and K-12. The evaluation could yield one of many outcomes:» The program is deemed not viable.» The program may not yet be viable for various reasons but may become so if environmental or market conditions change, so the program is queued.» The program is deemed sufficiently viable for a full feasibility study in one of three formats:» as a stand-alone credit program;» as a stand-alone non-credit program;» as a non-credit-to-credit aligned program.Results are then incorporated into the college's quadrant analysis to assess the overall program mix.EXISTING PROGRAM TRIAGEDepartment heads and deans use data from their academic program reviews (APR) and market analysis to conduct a similar criterion-based review of existing programs. …" @default.
