INTRODUCTION

Founded in 1940 and located in Visalia, College of the Sequoias (COS) (www.cos.edu) is a 2-year community college that provides educational and training classes to the local community. The College operates a full-service College Center in the City of Hanford in addition to the main campus in Visalia. Aside from servicing the general population, the COS Training Resource Center provides customized workforce development training service to California Central Valley organizations. The College specifically trains business and industry employers in the manufacturing and service sectors in Kings and Tulare counties. COS also serves other counties in coordination with other California Community Colleges.

PROJECT DETAILS In this proposal, COS plans to deliver training to frontline workers and supervisors from both large and small private businesses. These industries will include agriculture, food processing, manufacturing, and service firms in the local region. The COS Training Resource Center has identified an increased need among local employers for customized training programs that can help them meet demand for skilled workers and compete with international competitors. A survey was completed that determined training needs by participating employers in areas such as workforce soft skills, industrial electricity, industrial motor controls, programmable logic controllers, welding, computer skills, food safety and continuous improvement. Many employers are also investing in automated systems and software packages to increase productivity and accuracy. Training is essential to help companies increase efficiencies and to improve operational effectiveness. In addition, participating employers are preparing for the retirement of high-skilled staff in the next few years. To remain competitive, employers plan to extensively train incumbent workers and new employees on advanced skills to deliver the same level of service as retiring employees. Training Plan Business Skills (30%): Training will be provided to Administrative Staff, Service Technicians, Operation Staff, Welders, Maintenance Staff and Supervisors. Training will enable workers to manage company resources, improve communication, and increase efficiencies. Training will also ensure workers are able to timely plan projects and manage conflicts at work. Training topics will include Communication Skills, Coaching, Decision Making and Customer Service. Computer Skills (10%): Training will be provided to Administrative Staff, Service Technicians and Supervisors to enhance their skill sets in computer software and marketing services. Training topics will include Microsoft Office Suite (Intermediate/Advanced) and Social Media for Business.


ETP 130 - MEC (05/02/16) 4 of 5

Continuous Improvement (15%): Training will be provided to Maintenance Mechanics, Operation Staff, Service Technicians, Administrative Staff and Supervisors to improve productivity and increase product quality. Training topics will include Practical Project Management, Maximizing Team Performance, Equipment Inspection and Management, Managing the Metrics and ISO 9000 Lean Enterprise. Manufacturing Skills (25%): Training will be provided to Maintenance Mechanics, Service Technicians, Welders, Pipefitters, Operation Staff and Supervisors to ensure staff can operate multiple pieces of equipment. This will increase flexibility and capacity in production processes. Training topics will include Welding, Blueprint Reading, Shop Measurements and Industrial Motor Controls. Management Skills (10%): Training will be provided to Supervisors to improve leadership skills and help them become effective leaders in a complex workplace. Training topics will include Supervisory Management Skills, Frontline Supervisory Skills, and Leadership Skills. Literacy Skills (5%): Training will be provided to Operations Staff. Trainees will receive English as a Second language training to improve communication and understanding on the job. Training will also include Basic Math. Certified Safety Training (5%) OSHA 10/30. This training is a series of courses “bundled” by industry sector and occupation. It consists of 10 hours of classroom or CBT training for journey-level workers and 30 hours for frontline supervisors. The coursework is geared to construction work, and also manufacturing. Completion of the training for all occupations except Administrative Staff results in a certificate that expands employment opportunities. The coursework must be approved by Cal-OSHA, and the instructors must be certified by Cal-OSHA. Commitment to Training ETP funds will not displace COS’s existing financial commitment to training. Safety training is, and will continue to be, provided in accordance with all pertinent requirements under state and federal law. Training by participating employer is both job specific and companywide and includes new hire orientation, sexual harassment prevention, best practices, first aid, and legal compliance. Training Infrastructure

COS has invested in the development of a trainee tracking database to track ETP enrollees and class attendance. The College will also utilize ETP training rosters to document training and submit all information on to the ETP tracking system in a timely manner. COS has designated the Training Resource Center Specialist and Administrative Technician to administer this ETP project. Staff will be responsible for enrolling trainees, tracking hours, scheduling courses, marketing, and meeting with ETP Staff. High Unemployment Area All trainees work in Kings and Tulare Counties, High Unemployment Areas (HUA) with unemployment exceeding the state average by at least 25%. For these trainees, the Panel may modify the ETP Minimum Wage by up to 25% if post-retention wages exceed the start-of-training wages. The Company requests a wage modification from $15.60 to $12.00 for Job Numbers 1 & 3 and to $11.70 for Job Numbers 2 & 4.

Impact/Outcome COS will provide NCEER certificates for their electrical safety and motor controls training. For all other trainings, COS Training Resource Center will provide certificates upon completion. Marketing and Support Costs Marketing of training programs takes place through regular and ongoing communications via meetings, emails and phone calls. COS is an active member of the Visalia Economic Development Corporation (VEDC) Education and Training Committee. The College participates in initiatives with the VEDC to increase the economic and workforce development of local employers. This includes on-site surveys to identify employers’ training needs and marketing of the College’s classes to their members. COS also partners with the local workforce investment board (WIB) and are also members of the Tulare WIB industrial sector committee, both of which market classes for COS. COS staff regularly follows up with participating employers to confirm observable improvements in job performance and assess the long-term success of training programs. Feedback and surveys are vital to the success of training programs and will allow employers to be competitive. COS is requesting and staff recommends 8% support costs to help with marketing and feedback. Trainer Qualifications/Training Coordinator Training for the proposed curriculum will be delivered by subject matter experts from the COS Training Resource Centers. Trainers’ qualifications range from Masters Degrees to skills certifications in manufacturing. Some training may also be provided by experienced trainers who work for participating employers. Tuition Reimbursement In accordance with Title 22, CCR, Section 4412.1, COS represents that students enrolled in the ETP-funded program will not be charged tuition, fees, or any other costs associated with training. The representation will be made a condition of the Agreement.
