1 Performance Monitoring Report: Associate Degree Programs, Technical Diplomas, and Certificates October 20, 2015 Associate Degree Programs, Technical Diplomas, Certificates Purpose To deliver associate degree, technical diploma, and certificate level programs which provide the skills and knowledge necessary to address occupational competencies from initial job-entry to advanced certification. 0
2 Overview Through credit programming, FVTC serves its District by providing employers with an educated workforce that works to address the health, safety, and business needs of local residents. Total credit headcount (16,107) decreased in by 6.2% from particularly noted in associate degree enrollment. Seventy-eight percent (78%) of FVTC graduates from who reported being employed six months after graduation were working in a job related to their field of study. FVTC outcomebased funding rankings related to this purpose are included in this report. Performance Scorecard PURPOSE What we do (Products and Services) SCORE For whom (Constituents) At what cost (Financial) Vision Questions for Board Discussion In reviewing the past year s performance, there are clear strengths and opportunities in meeting our purpose. While this performance monitoring report provides a view of our past, we also invite the Board to consider for discussion how to best meet the District s future needs for credit programming. As you read this report, please consider: What are our greatest strengths and how have we benefited our community with credit programming? What threatens our ability to continue to fulfill this purpose? What will our District require for credit programming in 2020? Are we well organized to meet the vision for 2020 for this area? What changes should be considered? What steps must we take to meet the needs of the district by 2020? We look forward to discussing these questions with the Board during the monitoring review.

3 What We Do Fox Valley Technical College programming is developed and conducted within Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS) guidelines and in collaboration with district business and industry needs to effectively meet skill and employment demands. In servicing the needs of the five-county district, the College s primary educational program offerings include Associate in Applied Science degree programs, Technical Diploma programs, and Certificates defined as: Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree programs An AAS degree assists individuals in preparing for, or advancing in, a particular occupation or field. AAS degree completion typically requires credits in the program and consists of technical studies, general studies, and electives. Students pursuing a degree full time will take approximately two years to complete. Time to completion varies widely for part-time students. Technical Diploma (TD) programs Technical diplomas are based on local needs of business and industry and are designed to help individuals prepare for a targeted occupation typically at the entry level. Technical diploma credit requirements vary widely, involving anywhere from 3 to 70 credits; therefore, time to completion varies widely depending on the program. Certificates A certificate involves a focused set of courses for skills needed in the workplace. Completed certificates can serve as enhancements to an individual s resume, as targeted training beyond the attainment of a degree or diploma, i.e., AAS, BS, MS. Credit courses from certificates may also be applied to a related technical diploma or associate degree program, encouraging people to continue their education in these programs. Some certificates may serve as entry points to attract people into programs (i.e., exploring careers series.) Types of Associate Degrees, Technical Diplomas, and Certificates FVTC currently offers 63 associate degree programs, 49 technical diploma programs, and 186 certificates. Among the new degree offerings are technical diplomas that are embedded into an associate degree that can provide a credential for completion of a smaller segment of the associate degree. Examples of this credentialing model are the Web Design and Aeronautics Professional Pilot technical diplomas. For Whom Associate Degree and Technical Diploma Enrollment Full Time Equivalents (FTEs) are a common measure of student enrollment for FVTC. In relation to the waning effects of the Great Recession, associate degree and technical diploma enrollments are declining. Calculating a full time equivalent (FTE) from enrollments is defined as 30 credits per student in an academic year. Figure 1 displays FTE data for an eleven-year period correlating the increasing and decreasing FTE trends paralleling the unemployment rate trends. The decline from historically high enrollment levels are stabilizing with the strengthening of the economy. Associate Degree and Technical Diploma enrollments currently account for 86% of total annual FTEs. The total FTEs include non-program course takers, basic skills and other enrollments. 2

Program Enrollments Aligned With High Demand Fields Students are attracted to FVTC for a number of reasons including cost, academic reputation, location, personalized attention, and program offerings that match their career interests. Faculty and staff continue to work to meet these student needs and to bring not only exciting opportunities but facilities and resources to match. Program enrollments are an important college measure, as well as an important factor in the pathway to a credential for the outcomes-based funding model for degrees awarded in high demand fields. There is greater emphasis on affecting the skills gap to meet employer needs and for individuals to have the skills necessary for workplace demands. Specific occupations have been identified by the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development (DWD) as being high demand fields based upon occupational projections through Table A outlines the College s top enrolled programs in both associate degree and technical diploma programs, and their alignment with the DWD high demand fields. Twenty-one programs had higher enrollments in as compared to six programs in (Table A - Higher numbers are in bold). In recent years, higher certificate enrollments reflect the beginning credential in a program career pathways or for grouping general education courses.

Associate degree and technical diploma students = 27 years Certificate students = 30 years Student Status Six of every 10 students at FVTC are part-time students taking less than 12 credit hours per semester which is on par with community colleges nationally 1. In the Fall of 2014, there were 4,592 degree-declared part-time students; a decrease of 143 over the same timeframe in the prior year (Figure 2). Full-time degree seeking enrollments (Fall 2014) decreased by 249 to 2,757 students compared to the previous year. A total of 7,349 full and part-time degree-declared students were enrolled in Fall Figure 2: Student Status - Part Time and Full Time Part-time Full-time Fall 2011 Fall 2012 Fall 2013 Fall 2014 Source: FVTC Data Warehouse Advisory Committee Effectiveness Occupational program advisory committees are a requirement of the WTCS and are organized to provide advice and counsel to instructional leaders and faculty regarding specific associate degree and technical diploma programs offered by the College. The primary purpose of a program advisory committee is to help the 5
7 College ensure that the program is relevant to the community, addresses current industry standards, meets workforce needs, and has appropriate resources to support high quality student outcomes. To accomplish this purpose, program advisory committees focus on the specific functions of program outcome review, curriculum updates, industry trends, and a public information role. The committee makes recommendations for program improvements, expansions, or changes. A seven point effectiveness rating was implemented in for each program based on items such as number of active business members, meeting attendance, and industry-trend analysis. The average strategic direction rating for Measure 4.1 of employer advisory committee effectiveness is 6.42 on the seven-point scale for Strategic Measure 4.2 represents targeted conversations involving industry and college representatives. These discussions focus on current challenges and future trends related to workforce skills in selected industries such as manufacturing, health care and transportation. Table C - Robust Partnerships engage employers Measures Actual Actual Target Measure 4.1: Employer advisory committee effectiveness average rating 5.32 of of of 7 Measure 4.2: Number of industry sector dialogues FVTC Program Accreditation and Licensure Requirements Some FVTC programs prepare students to complete examinations that are required in order to work in their field of study. Accredited programs are within the Service, Health and Public Safety divisions while most programs requiring certification are in the Transportation and Service divisions. The Health programs typically have a competency exam at the end of the program of study allowing students to become registered or certified in order to work in Wisconsin. FVTC students have performed well or are showing improvement in the health and other areas (Table D). In , all programs which require an exam for graduates to be eligible for employment in the field, have posted their most recent pass rates on their Programs of Study webpage ( This posting meets the Higher Learning Commission expectations for accreditation. Table D FVTC Program 2014 Licensure Pass Rates compared to Natl. Pass Rate Program Year National Rate FVTC Pass Rate Nursing-Associate Degree % 96.3% Dental Hygienist % 100% Practical Nursing % 95% Occupational Therapy Assistant % 96% Medical Assistant % 96% Airframe and Powerplant Mechanic % 85% All programs with accreditation, certification, and licensure requirements are compliant with the established passing scores. FVTC faculty and staff monitor this compliance very closely and take appropriate measures to meet or exceed the minimum requirements. Technical Skill Attainment In , FVTC continued to implement the three-phase process of designing a Technical Skill Attainment (TSA) assessment for each of its 120+ associate degrees, technical diplomas and apprenticeship programs and to receive the appropriate approval from the Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS). 6
8 Program teams have worked with their local teams or statewide teams of similar programs to design an assessment that is comprehensive in gauging student mastery of intended program outcomes, as well as Employability Essentials (soft skills). As of early , 74 programs and apprenticeships are reporting TSA data on student performance to the WTCS. Ten programs are approved at the Phase 1 level and ready to work on Phase 2. Another 40 programs and apprenticeships are at the beginning stages of the TSA process. The target is to reach 100 programs at Level 3 reporting TSA data. Industry-Validated Curriculum Industry-validated curriculum means a curriculum that is developed with business or industry input and that is based on competencies and assessments that reflect the skills and knowledge necessary for a specific job or jobs within a specific type of business or industry (WTCS definition). FVTC validates curriculum information from sources such as advisory committee input, program accreditation and licensure requirements, and program technical skill attainment for all 127 programs. This performance ranks FVTC as second in the state for this outcomes-based funding measure (Figure 3). Figure 3: Top Five Rankings--Number of Programs with Industry Validated Curriculum Source = WTCS Outcomes-Based Funding Report Number of Graduates The statewide outcomes-based model places emphasis on graduation. In , FVTC had 1,045 associate degree graduates and 1,700 technical diploma graduates for a total of 2,745 graduates. The three programs with the most graduates were; Nursing Assistant (652), Truck Driving (175), and Business Management (106); indicative of great marketplace demand by both students and employers in these areas. Benchmarking with other WTCS colleges based upon outcomes-based funding data, Madison ranked first with 1,875 degrees awarded in high demand fields. FVTC ranked second with 1,845 degrees awarded followed by NWTC (1,732), Gateway (1,678) and Milwaukee (1,450). Persistence and Graduation Students who do not persist in coursework through to graduation represent the loss of key skills needed in the workplace. Many students face personal and academic barriers to continuing in college. FVTC is committed to finding new ways to help more students complete all the classes needed to graduate. Student success, as measured by successful course completion, student persistence and graduation, is an integral indicator of FVTC s strategic directions. The Strategic Plan Measures (Table E) highlight the results of our student success efforts in and the targets for Table E: FVTC Strategic Plan Measures Year End Progress Measures Actual Target Actual Target Measure 3.1: % of successful course completion 83% 83% 82.3% 84% Measure 3.2: % of students persisting from Fall to Spring term 78% 79% 79.3% 80% Measure 3.3: % of program students graduating in 3 years 38% 39% 41.2% 40% Measure 3.4: % of program students graduating in 5 years 51.5% 52% 50.2% 53% Measure 3.5: Number of adult basic education students who 118* * 170 successfully complete a post-secondary course [OBF] Measure 3.6: % of graduates employed in a related field within 79% >76% 78% >76% 6 months [OBF] Measure 3.7: Number of program graduates in high demand fields [OBF] 1,852 1,800 1,900 1,856 1,800-1,900 7
9 Student success is a major issue at the state and national levels. As employers move to more advanced technologies, FVTC provides well-trained individuals for occupations to meet the demands of a global marketplace. The College provides many support and wrap around services to help students succeed which are intended to improve course completion, student persistence and graduation. Recent research calls for Redesigning America s Community Colleges (Bailey, Jaggers, and Jenkins, 2015) by moving away from a cafeteria style approach (providing an assortment of services that student must seek out on their own) to a more integrated design entitled guided pathways. This approach anticipates that most students will need services but many will not be inclined to search for services. Rather than seek needed services, students will gradually disengage from the college, unless services are built into the process. FVTC staff are studying the research on the guided pathways approach and formulating a framework for redesigning both instructional and non-instructional systems to align with this approach. Graduate Employment The Spring 2015 report of previous year graduates ( ) six months after graduation shows that 92% of FVTC graduates were employed, and 78% of placements were in jobs related to their programs of study. For peer benchmark colleges, job placement rates that are related to graduates field of study range from a high of 85% at Western to a low of 62% at Nicolet. The statewide average for placement in jobs related to program of study is 76% up from 74% in the previous year (Figure 4).

Additionally, this information is used for the job placement category in the outcomes-based funding model. Compared with other WTCS colleges, FVTC received the highest percentage of funding, ranking first in a three-year calculation of job placement related to program of study. 8
10 Graduate Satisfaction Ultimately, the fulfillment of this statutory purpose is measured by the satisfaction of our graduates with their education and employers with their performance in the workplace. Individuals and employers recognize the power of a credential through: increased earning potential better benefits improved recession protection higher job satisfaction increased efficiency and performance fewer social costs FVTC s graduates reported high satisfaction (98%) with their FVTC education. Graduate Employment and Wages Signs of an economic recovery continue with 49 programs of the College s 98 programs with graduates responding to the survey had 100% employment with another 16 at 90% employment or higher. The average annual salary was reported at $35,223 which is a 4.2% increase reported by 2013 graduates from the previous year. In the five year follow-up study (the Class of 2009), 21% of the 1,077 graduates responding to the survey had completed an additional degree by After five years, 61% of those employed reported working in the FVTC district. In 2009, six months after graduation, these graduates reported an average annual salary of $32,282. In the five-year follow-up (Figure 5), they reported an average annual salary of $46,140. This is a 43% increase as compared to a 10.5% increase in the consumer price index during the same time period. In addition, 84% reported that their FVTC technical education was important in launching their career. Figure 5 FVTC Graduate salary increases in 5 years outpaced the Consumer Price Index Employer Satisfaction FVTC has a strong employer network across the district for hiring graduates with an emphasis in the high demand fields of health care, transportation and manufacturing. Each year, FVTC conducts a survey with graduate employers. In the 2015 Employer Satisfaction Survey, 161 employers responded regarding their employees who were FVTC graduates. 9
11 Employer responses are a valuable component in the process of obtaining feedback on programs offered by FVTC. To gather input, the employer satisfaction research is based on a four-point scale related to meeting expectations with 4 being exceeds expectations. Employers rated all areas above the meets expectations rating (3). Employers posted a mean rating of 3.42 regarding the importance of the local technical college to overall business success. Employers satisfaction with graduates technical education posted a 3.42 mean rating. Employability Essentials ratings (Table F) demonstrate the continued employer focus on soft skills and the strong performance of our graduates in most areas with an increased mean rating in the 2015 report as compared to the 2014 report. Table F. Employer Survey Employability Essentials Results 2014 (graduates from ) 220 respondents 2015 (graduates from ) 161 respondents Change Mean rating based on: 4 = Exceeds 3 = Meets 2 = Nearly Meets 1 = Does Not Meet Adapt to Change Anticipate changes and positively react to them Think Critically and Creatively Apply independent and rigorous reasoning that leads to informed decisions, innovation and personal empowerment. Work Collaboratively Work collaboratively with others to complete tasks, solve problems, resolve conflicts, provide information, and offer support. Communicate Effectively and Respectfully Apply appropriate writing, speaking, and listening skills across various settings to engage diverse audiences. Act Responsibly Apply ethical standards in both personal and professional behavior Staff Ideas for Vision 2020 Summary of themes from faculty/staff feedback to the report. Key Strength Areas that benefit our community and set the foundation for our future revolve around FVTC s hallmark responsiveness to both student and employer needs to build a vibrant workforce. Our strong alignment with industry on key curriculum and skills outcomes leads to high graduate employment rates. The many ways that FVTC staff nurture collaborative relationships with the business and industry community show that we are constantly listening to what the community needs and are responding accordingly. Similarly, FVTC recognizes and anticipates the changing needs of our student body. As student expectations of the college experience evolve, the College examines its technology and service structure to optimally support more students to becoming graduates who serve as qualified workers for area employers. Credit programming in 2020 will continue to emphasize highly targeted, high demand, and contemporary skills instruction delivered in flexible formats to allow for the greatest opportunity for all employed, unemployed and underemployed talent to participate. Technology trends in each program area need to be closely monitored in order to ensure alignment and relevancy in the curriculum. Continuous review of current degrees and certificates is needed to determine adjustments in the credential design. As employers experience the skilled labor shortage, many organizations may hire workers who require some level of employer sponsored technical training to perform job duties. This may require smaller chunks of credit learning options that ladder into credentials. Fast-paced change will require continuous learning by program faculty to keep current in their field along with instructional technology innovations. Monitoring types of positions trending up and down in 10
12 industry and improved speed to market will be needed to keep pace with inevitable increasing competition in higher education. The FVTC organizational structure is well-positioned to meet the vision of 2020 which is propelled by the depth and devotion of our faculty along with our close relationships to business and industry as pivotal partners in staying abreast of changing community needs for technical education. The key structural redesign focuses on the continued integration of student support services into the college experience. In addition, close collaboration between general education and technical programming is essential with an emphasis on improving mastery of the Employability Essentials for all FVTC graduates. The need and opportunity for more cross-divisional programming will challenge our organizational structure as it is currently aligned with WTCS categories and reporting requirements. At What Cost Cost to the Student In past three years, tuition has increased between 2% and 3% with current cost of $ per credit. Peer Benchmarks Operational cost per FTE is defined as all operating fund expenditures (General, Contract Training, & Grant funds) except Criminal Justice federal grant expenditures, which have been excluded to ensure comparability across the system. FTEs generated in the Criminal Justice grants have also been excluded in the cost calculations. The College consistently maintains a cost per FTE that aligns closely with the statewide average (Figures 6 and 7) is the most recent year available for the benchmark colleges. For , FVTC cost per FTE increased 8.6% for associate degree and 6.3% for technical diploma areas. When total enrollments decline, as they did in , the operational cost per FTE increases FVTC data (unaudited) is provided to show the combined impact of declining enrollments and the first year of Act 10 s influence on instructional costs due to the impact of retirements and benefit cost sharing. Comparisons with other WTCS colleges are provided for peer benchmarks. However, critical analysis is difficult due to multiple variations by district. These district variations can include the cost of living, demographics, local faculty contracts, types of programs, number of program offerings, staffing patterns, level of contracting activity, and other differences from college to college. One potential explanation for the lower Associate Degree cost per FTE attributed to NWTC and CVTC is the greater emphasis that these two colleges have placed on offering general education courses as part of their transfer efforts (Figure 6). General education courses are more economical to offer, thus bringing down the overall cost per FTE. Technical diploma cost per FTE (Figure 7) is typically higher than associate degree cost per FTE due to intensive laboratory class time resulting in more contact hours for faculty with students, and the supplies and minor equipment needed for a higher level of hands-on experience in technical diplomas. 11
