Implemented in May 2008 Chippewa Valley Welding Career Opportunities (I-BEST and postsecondary pathway) Lakeshore Technical Three-Courses Closer to : Indus. Maintenance, Machine Tool Op., Welding (Bridge program) Moraine Park with Waukesha County, Milwaukee Area, & Gateway Industrial Maintenance (Bridge & This project created a 16 week welding certificate program that prepares students for entry level welding jobs as well as earn students up to 10 credits toward a 1 year welding technical diploma. This project is creating two pre-trades courses in dealing with reading and math that, combined with the Work Certified program offered by Bay Area WDB, will form a bridge program that prepares learners for the Industrial Maintenance, Machine Tool Operation, and Welding programs. Completion of the bridge will qualify learners for program admission without further assessment. The reading and math courses will be contextualized and team taught by ABE or ELL and occupational instructors. This project will develop a career pathway of three to five employer-supported certificates embedded in the Industrial Maintenance Program (either a 2- year AD or TD, depending on college). The certificates will be designed to meet the needs of low income, ABE and ELL populations. After the certificates are designed, work will begin on an ABE bridge into the first certificate.

3 Milwaukee Area, & Gateway Welding (Bridge/I-BEST & Northcentral Technical ELL Nursing Assistant Bridge (I- BEST) Northeast Wisconsin Rising in NE Wisconsin: General Manufacturing & Welding (Bridge program) a career ladder for welding (typically a 1 year Technical Diploma), with an ABE/ELL-occupational team teaching as part of the program design. The applicants are interested in pursuing a career latticing approach, wherein welding gives an employee career options in a number of industries and sectors and welding can serve as a stepping stone to other careers, such as metal fabrication. This project created a version of the CNA course that integrates ELL instruction into the federally required nursing assistant curriculum and uses a team teaching approach. NTC s objective is to significantly improve the success of SE Asian individuals in the CNA program. Area health care organizations have a strong interest in diversifying their nursing staff. This CNA project is seen as a proving ground for concepts that could next be applied to the LPN program. This project has created certificate programs in General Manufacturing and Welding that will equip learners for entry-level jobs and postsecondary occupational programs. NWTC used DACUM and WESA processes to identify curriculum content, and the curricula integrates basic skills, ELL and occupational skills. The certificates will be aimed at ABE/ELL students, incumbent workers, and participants in the WDB s Work Certified program.

This project target the region s Hmong population, but the curriculum model followed will also be applicable to other disadvantaged adult populations. This project modified Network Fundamentals and Project Management courses to integrate reading and math basic skills with technical skills. Also, four new 1-credit basic skills courses that specifically complement the learning activities of these modified IT courses are being created. This package of new courses will eliminate separate development/remedial requirements for the Web Analyst/Programmer and Computer Support Specialist associate degree programs and existing short term certificates that ladder into these associate degrees.

5 ELL/Welding (I-BEST & Fox Valley Technical GOAL Pathways to Business Careers (bridge) Fox Valley Technical ELL Achievement Program: From Basic Skills to Applied Skills (IBEST) with accelerated and integrated welding/abe/ell instruction. ABE and ELL students are participating in this embedded certificate, and local business is supportive. Contextualized ABE math/reading/writing instruction in the areas of 1) Accounting and 2) Call Center Operations lead to a Goal certificate with first college credits that then articulates with embedded 1-semester, 1-year and 2-year certificates/degrees in a career ladder. ELL students who typically struggle with communication-intensive college General Education courses such as Written Communication and Interpersonal Communication are enrolled in an IBEST team-taught version of the class, resulting in much better initial college success in these key gatekeeper courses.
