Educational Pathway needs: Streamlined access to higher education, High

School through College.

Starting with High School: Academy or Vocational Training with Industry

involvement allowing “Real World-Work Force” engagement/employment of students

Leading to employer supported Community

College and/or University work force preparation.

Page 3: Critical Pathways in California Health Education M. Adrienne Carlson RN MS Coordinator of Level I CSU Hayward Audience: Potential Industry Partners

The overall “Industry Partnership” would include: The local target industry.

The schools (HS,CC,CSU/Universities) in a geographic area complementary to the industry of choice/need.

The student/potential-actual employee participants

Page 4: Critical Pathways in California Health Education M. Adrienne Carlson RN MS Coordinator of Level I CSU Hayward Audience: Potential Industry Partners

These 3 partners:

Students, Schools and Industry:

Would enter into a mutually beneficial educational relationship to create a high quality, educated, employable and vested workforce.

Page 5: Critical Pathways in California Health Education M. Adrienne Carlson RN MS Coordinator of Level I CSU Hayward Audience: Potential Industry Partners

The Goals are:

A meaningful quality educational experience.

Early entry into the workforce.

Life long learning and job security for a secure and satisfying lifetime.

Streamlining ……Means…… Articulation Equal content/credit for agreed upon core classes in

Health Sciences.

College Credit for some Higher Level High School classes.

Assurance that core classes at Community Colleges in common with CSU/Universities will receive equal/transferring credit.

HS/CC?CSU credit for qualifying work study.

Example Pathway: Bio/Health Science

Focus:

“Nursing”

Page 12: Critical Pathways in California Health Education M. Adrienne Carlson RN MS Coordinator of Level I CSU Hayward Audience: Potential Industry Partners

Nursing: High School Goals CPR/ First Aid Certifications

Health Form Compliance

Certified Nurses Aide Training and State Certification

Internship and “Employment” with an/the Industry Partner

Page 13: Critical Pathways in California Health Education M. Adrienne Carlson RN MS Coordinator of Level I CSU Hayward Audience: Potential Industry Partners

Nursing: Community College and/or CSU/University Goals

Continued Employment with Industry Partner.

Flexible scheduling, medical benefits and income while attending college to become a RN.

Becoming a Registered Nurse while remaining in the “active” Health Care “workforce”!

Page 14: Critical Pathways in California Health Education M. Adrienne Carlson RN MS Coordinator of Level I CSU Hayward Audience: Potential Industry Partners

What’s in it for:

The Student: Continuous employment, income, and experience in their field of choice from High School onward……

The Industry Partner: An immediate and ongoing increase in qualified members to their workforce from entry level through advanced practitioner with a commitment to their facility.

Page 15: Critical Pathways in California Health Education M. Adrienne Carlson RN MS Coordinator of Level I CSU Hayward Audience: Potential Industry Partners

What’s in it for:

The Nursing Profession: An increase in young, dedicated and quality educated members to the profession in the face of the current nursing shortage and an aging population of currently practicing nurses.

Society: Assurance of continued quality nursing care being available for ourselves, our families and our elderly in the 21st century.

Page 16: Critical Pathways in California Health Education M. Adrienne Carlson RN MS Coordinator of Level I CSU Hayward Audience: Potential Industry Partners

What the plan will look like:

A student that has completed High School Training and become certified as a CNA is hired by the Industry Partner.

Once employed by the Industry Partner and accepted to the Community College or CSU/University Partnership school of choice the employee would apply to the educational partnership program.

Page 17: Critical Pathways in California Health Education M. Adrienne Carlson RN MS Coordinator of Level I CSU Hayward Audience: Potential Industry Partners

Details…details…..

Preference (by percentage) would be given at each step to those participating at the previous level of the partnership programs to consideration for participation at the next step.

Sets of participants would be paired-up as “job shares”.

Page 18: Critical Pathways in California Health Education M. Adrienne Carlson RN MS Coordinator of Level I CSU Hayward Audience: Potential Industry Partners

More details….. Each Job Share Partner would work the equivalent

of 3 days a week or 12 days a month.

Between the job share partners they would be required to cover no less than 2 week-ends a month (could be more) and all holidays.

Excessive sick leave limits would be set and if exceeded could result in termination of the contract.

Page 19: Critical Pathways in California Health Education M. Adrienne Carlson RN MS Coordinator of Level I CSU Hayward Audience: Potential Industry Partners

Sharing responsibilities Responsibility for submitting their schedule and

meeting the requirements would be that of the job share partners.

Both job share partners would receive (major) medical coverage.

If only major (hospitalization) covered then the school partner of choice would supply the primary health care.

Page 20: Critical Pathways in California Health Education M. Adrienne Carlson RN MS Coordinator of Level I CSU Hayward Audience: Potential Industry Partners

Partnering In return the Student partners would sign a contract

agreeing to these terms and an agreed upon period of full time (or.9/.8) employment (2 years ?) in the next level job description for the Industry Partner.

Should a Community College Partcipant decide to switch to a CSU/University Partnership Program they would be encouraged to do so with documentation of this intent required as an amendment to their contract.

The contract would stay in force until the participant completes their schooling.

Page 21: Critical Pathways in California Health Education M. Adrienne Carlson RN MS Coordinator of Level I CSU Hayward Audience: Potential Industry Partners

Outcomes The program would be designed so that any

employee could apply to participate at any level of the program.

The beginning of both the CC and the CSU should be structured to allow CAN certification at the end of the 1st semester or 2nd quarter as appropriate.

This will allow students to enter the workforce and this partnership easily at the college level.

Page 22: Critical Pathways in California Health Education M. Adrienne Carlson RN MS Coordinator of Level I CSU Hayward Audience: Potential Industry Partners

Details…. It will be the responsibility of the School Partners

to “articulate” their programs such that a student could transfer easily between participating at Community Colleges and CSU/Universities at the end of:

1st semester CC into 3rd quarter CSU. End of 1st year CC into 2nd year CSU. An RN to BSN program will be provided for AA

RN’s to become BSN’s.

Page 23: Critical Pathways in California Health Education M. Adrienne Carlson RN MS Coordinator of Level I CSU Hayward Audience: Potential Industry Partners

In Summary: The overall “Industry Partnership” would include

the:

Industry: Hospital/HMO.

The Schools: HS, CC, CSU/University. (located in a geographic area complementary to

the industry)

The Student/Employee participants.
