1 From GEDs to College Degrees: The Adult Education Transitions Collaboration between Jefferson County Public Schools and Jefferson Community and Technical College Tony Newberry, President Jefferson Community and Technical College Kentucky Community and Technical College System Julie Scoskie, Director Jefferson County Public Schools Adult and Continuing Education
2 Origins of the Partnership Policy environment & political imperatives Internal issues The Transitions Program How it works The impact on students Plans for the future Questions and Conversation
3 Context for Collaboration House Bill 1 (1997): Post-Secondary Education Reform in Kentucky Senate Bill 1 (2000): The Restructuring of Adult Education Result: Aggressive enrollment and attainment goals
4 Local Imperatives Merged Government and the Brookings Report Historic Opportunity The Louisville region stands at a historic juncture. As merger creates the 16 th largest municipality in the U.S., the new city has an opportunity to seize the moment, get it right, and chart its destiny as one of the most progressive American cities. Serious Challenges The new city faces serious human capital and quality of life challenges that threaten future competitiveness, including: A workforce severely limited in size and skill Low educational attainment which limits competitiveness in the knowledge economy
5 The Solution: Build a State of the Art Workforce Development System Focus on the New Economy and high-skilled, high-wage jobs Provide career ladders for lower skilled adults Upgrade the region s community and technical colleges Make adult education, colleges, universities full partners in Louisville s long-term economic development strategy Promote educational attainment all along the line, from GEDs to Ph.Ds.
6 State-wide Concerns: The Pipeline Leakage Problem For every 100 Kentucky 9th graders: 65 graduate from high school 37 enter college 24 are still enrolled in sophomore year 12 graduate with a four-year degree in 6 years Source: Tom Mortenson, Public School Graduation and College Going Rates of Students Directly from High School, 2004; NCES, IPEDS Fall 2004 Retention rates and 2004 Graduation Rate Survey; U.S. Census Bureau, 2005 American Community Survey (ACS)
