Establishing Transportation Workforce Development Partnerships

支持领导ATE中心的六名两年制大学教员参加2012年4月的全国运输劳动力发展峰会和2012年6月的大学运输中心理事会(CUTC)会议，并支持3名大学运输中心(UTC)领导参加2012年10月的ATE PI会议。目的是为了缩小全国两年制和四年制院校之间的差距？S为培养未来的交通运输劳动力提供职业道路。两年制的大学学员学习新兴的交通技术和劳动力需求，这些技术和劳动力需求可以影响新技术项目的发展。UTC成员了解ATE中心如何与行业密切合作，支持全国范围内的技师教育改革。这两个群体加在一起，可以影响支持交通运输业职业道路所需的政策。

Support is provided to support six two-year college faculty, who lead ATE Centers, to participate in the National Transportation Workforce Development Summit in April, 2012 and in the meeting of the Council of University Transportation Centers (CUTC) in June, 2012 and to support three leaders of University Transportation Centers (UTC) to participate in the ATE PI meeting in October, 2012. The purpose is to close gaps between 2- and 4-year institutions in the nation?s career pathways for developing the future transportation workforce. Two-year college participants learn about the emerging transportation technologies and workforce needs that can influence the development of new technical programs. Members of the UTC learn how ATE centers work closely with industry to support nationwide reform of technician education. Together both groups can influence the policies needed to support career pathways in transportation.
