Washington State Manufacturing Technology Standards, Competencies and Curriculum Development

9453739里尔南西雅图社区学院、波音公司、ELDEC公司、克洛弗公园技术学院和其他12个组织将制定一项程序，以确定华盛顿州制造业教育和培训的特定工作场所标准。这些标准将反过来导致行业指导的制造技术核心课程。该课程将从高中开始，并将纳入2-2技术预科大学的社区大学课程。以工作为基础的实习也将是课程不可或缺的一部分。这一全面、创新的提议得到了工会和工业界的大力支持。它将有助于弥合中学技术教育与工业劳动力需求之间的差距。

9453739 Riehl South Seattle Community College, Boeing Company, Eldec Corporation, Clover Park Technical College and 12 other organizations will develop a process for determining specific workplace standards for manufacturing education and training in Washington State. These standards will, in turn, lead to an industry-guided manufacturing technology core curriculum. The curriculum will begin in high schools and will feed into a 2+2 Tech Prep post-secondary community college program. A workplace-based internship will also be an integral part of the curriculum. This comprehensive, innovative proposal has strong support from both labor unions and industry. It will help bridge the gap between secondary school technical education and the requirements of the industrial workforce.
