High-Tech Workforce Initiative

马里科帕社区学院区(MCCD)正在与其四所成员社区学院和马里科帕高级技术教育中心(MATEC)合作，与当地行业合作，以跟上行业对技术人员需求的变化。承诺支持该项目的具体本地行业包括英特尔、Avnet和安森美半导体。TTWI的目标是：1.建立一个独特的示范计划，在新兴技术领域创造和广泛传播可重复使用的技能；2.改革课程和教学，以满足行业需求和要求，并为学生提供相关、严谨和跨学科的学习课程；以及3.改革课程和授课方式，以满足行业需求和要求，并为学生提供相关的、严谨的和跨学科的课程；以及重新定义马里科帕学院的扩展和保留战略，以吸引更多的学生进入高科技制造领域，以满足未来的就业需求。该计划包括大学区与行业之间的密切合作安排，以确定行业需求，开发课程以满足这些需求，通过外部奖学金提供教师发展，并招收新学生，特别是代表不足的人口和成人学习者。该项目预计将有12名教员参与暑期外部培训，制作24个课程模块，影响四所参与社区学院的多达720名学生，并通过全国传播影响更多学生。在基于模块的课程中，模块可以随着工业需求的变化而变化，从而允许不断更新。该项目预计将从当地高中再招收100名学生参加社区大学的技术员项目。这是通过开展一项运动，为技术人员的工作树立积极和准确的公众形象，反映技术人员通过批判性思维和解决问题不断迎接新挑战的形象。

The Maricopa Community College District (MCCD) is cooperating with four of its member community colleges and the Maricopa Advanced Technical Education Center (MATEC) to work with local industries to keep pace with the changes in industrial needs for technicians. Specific local industries that have committed support to this project are Intel, Avnet and ON Semiconductor. HTWI is:1. Establishing a unique model program for creating and broadly disseminating reusable skills in areas of emerging technology;2. Reforming curriculum and delivery to meet industry needs and requirements and to provide students with a relevant, rigorous and interdisciplinary course of study; and3. Redefining Maricopa Colleges' outreach and retention strategies to attract more students into the high-tech manufacturing fields to meet future employment needs.The plan includes close working arrangements between the College District and industry to define industrial needs, develop curriculum to address those needs, provide faculty development through externships, and recruit new students, especially underrepresented populations and adult learners.The project expects to have 12 faculty participate in summer externships, produce 24 curriculum modules, impact up to 720 students in the four participating community colleges, and impact additional students through national dissemination. With a modular-based curriculum, modules can be changed as the industrial needs change, thus allowing for continuous updating. The project expects to recruit an additional 100 students from local high schools into the technician programs at the community colleges. This is accomplished by a campaign to develop positive and accurate public images of the work of technicians, images that reflect technicians continually meeting new challenges through critical thinking and problem solving.
