  Vocational Education Statewide Advisory Committees
In order to have a process for direct linkages between faculty and administrators with representatives from business, industry, and labor on a statewide basis, the Chancellor's Office has established a state-level vocational education advisory committee structure. Ten advisory committees are currently under operation. Most of the advisory committees concentrate on discipline-specific issues. All committees are concerned with the improvement of vocational education students, and the competencies required by employers. Committees prepare various reports of findings including year-end reports that contain recommendations for funding state-level special projects designed to improve vocational and technical education. The committees assist in the development of specifications for state-level program improvement projects.

Activities
At a minimum, the advisory committees provide statewide leadership in the following areas:

  • Promote professional, curriculum, and partnership development responsive to recognized industry standards.
  • Recommend funding priorities for industry-based state leadership projects and Request For Application (RFA) specifications in professional development, curriculum development, partnership development and student leadership.
  • In addition, provide ongoing review of RFA specifications and award process and make recommendations for approval.
  • Promote strategic planning and greater funding stability. Conduct both short-term and long-term needs assessments and explore extending the RFA funding cycle.
  • Assist the state in assuring that community college vocational and technical education programs are responsive to industry standards and consumer needs and adhere to federal and state policies.
