PURPOSE Support of economic growth and prosperity through education was the underlying concept in the development of the Community College System. All of the institutions in the North Carolina Community College System offer technical and occupational training and basic education to prepare adults for the job market. In addition, each community college offers the first two years of a baccalaureate program. The mission of the System has been defined in the North Carolina General Statutes ( 115D- 1): . . . the establishment, organization, and administration of a system of educational institutions throughout the state offering courses of instruction in one or more of the general areas of two- year college parallel, technical, vocational, and adult education programs . . . The law further states that: . . . The major purpose of each and every institution operating under the provisions of this Chapter shall be and shall continue to be the offering of vocational and technical education and training, and of basic, high school level, academic education needed in order to profit from vocational and technical education, for students who are high school graduates or who are beyond the compulsory age limit of the public school system and who have left the public schools. . . . The statutory mission statement serves to keep the System focused on vocational and technical education. It also specifically mandates provision of basic academic education for adults through the high school level. These programs— vocational and technical education, and basic academic education for adults— have priority status because of their specific place in the statutory mission statement. The mission directs the System to serve adults and other people who have left the public schools and are beyond compulsory school age. This definition provides the background for develop-ment of policies governing the institutions' relationship to the public schools. It is the statutory mission statement from which the " working mission statement" derives. It is the working mission statement which focuses the Community College System's resources by responding to contemporary societal issues. Legitimized by the State Board of Community Colleges, the working mission dynamically mobilizes our abilities to concentrate on current concerns. NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION I— PAGE 3 The Working Mission Statement The mission of the North Carolina Community College System is to open the door to high-quality, accessible educational opportunities that minimize barriers to postsecondary education, maximize student success, and improve the lives and well- being of individuals by providing: • Education, training and retraining for the workforce, including basic skills and literacy education, occupational and pre- baccalaureate programs. • Support for economic development through services to and in partnership with business and industry. • Services to communities and individuals, which improve the quality of life. Amended, effective August 1, 2000. NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION I— PAGE 4 HISTORY In the years following World War II, North Carolina began a rapid shift from an agricultural to an industrial economy. With that change came an awareness that a different kind of education was needed in the state. People who did not desire a four- year baccalaureate education nevertheless had the need for more than a high school diploma. In 1950, the State Superintendent of Public Instruction authorized a study of the need for a system of tax- supported community colleges. The resulting report, by Dr. Allan S. Hurlburt, was published in 1952. It proposed a plan for development of state- supported community colleges. In 1957, the General Assembly adopted the first Community College Act and provided funding for community colleges. The same ( 1957) General Assembly also provided funding to initiate a statewide system of industrial education centers. These centers were to train adults and selected high school students in skills needed by industry. By 1961, there were five public junior colleges emphasizing arts and sciences and seven industrial education centers focusing on technical and vocational educa-tion. The need to coordinate these two post- high school education systems led Governor Terry Sanford to appoint the Governor's Commission on Education Beyond the High School ( Irving Carlyle, chair). In 1962, this commission recommended that the two types of institutions be brought into one administrative organization under the State Board of Education and local boards of trustees. The resulting unified Community College System would provide comprehensive post- high school education. In May 1963, the General Assembly, in line with the Carlyle Commission report, enacted G. S. 115A ( later changed to 115D), which provided for the establishment of a Department of Commu-nity Colleges under the State Board of Education and for the administration of institutions in the Community College System. There were then 20 industrial education centers, six community colleges ( three of which became four- year schools in 1963), and five extension units. By 1966, there were 43 institutions with 28,250 full- time equivalent ( FTE) enrollments. In 1969, there were 54 institutions with 59,329 FTE. The System had grown rapidly, exceeding ten percent annually nearly every year until the late 1970s. In 1974– 75, growth reached the 33 percent mark. The System continues to grow in enrollments nearly every year, but by much more modest margins. The number of colleges has not increased since Brunswick Community College became the 58th in 1979. NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION I— PAGE 5 The original legislation placed the Community College System under the purview of the State Board of Education and created a State Department of Community Colleges. In the early years of the System, the State Board of Education Chair was Dallas Herring; David Bruton succeeded him in 1977. In 1979, the General Assembly changed the state control of the System. Provision was made for a separate State Board of Community Colleges. The Board was appointed and organized in 1980, and met several times with the State Board of Education. The new Board assumed full responsibility for the System on January 1, 1981. The Board's first chairperson was Duke Power company executive Carl Horn. He was succeeded in 1983 by John A. Forlines, president of the Bank of Granite and then William F. Simpson in 1989. In 1993, Lt. Governor Dennis A. Wicker was elected chair and served in this capacity until July of 1999. He was succeeded by retired community college president Dr. G. Herman Porter. In July 2001, Mr. James J. Woody was elected chair. The Community College System Office has had six presidents: I. E. Ready ( 1963– 1970), Ben E. Fountain, Jr. ( 1971– 1978), Larry J. Blake ( 1979– 1982), Robert W. Scott ( 1983– 1994), Lloyd V. Hackley ( 1995– 1997), and H. Martin Lancaster ( July 1997– present). Charles R. Holloman served in an acting capacity from September 1978 to July 1979. In 1988, the North Carolina Community College System celebrated its 25th anniversary, recog-nizing that in its first quarter century of service, the System had emerged as the nation's third largest community college network. During its 39- year history, the North Carolina Community College System has educated millions of students and employed thousands of faculty and staff. In November of 1987, the State Board established the Commission on the Future of the North Carolina Community College System. The 23- member, blue ribbon panel of business, civic and education leaders was charged with establishing a systemwide agenda for policy and action over the next 25 years. The resulting Commission on the Future report, released in 1989, outlined 33 recommendations for action and change. These recommendations for action and change have served as the foundation of the System planning process since 1989. The influence of the Com-mission on the Future report is evident in the 2001– 2003 System Strategic Plan goals and objec-tives. STATE BOARD OF COMMUNITY COLLEGES GOALS 1.

NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION I— PAGE 7 PROGRAMS The North Carolina Community College System offers a comprehensive range of educational programs to meet the needs of local communities for workforce preparedness and higher aca-demic education, basic educational skills, job retraining, personal growth and development, and community and economic development. These programs are organized under several broad categories. Curriculum programs are made up of credit courses leading to certificates, diplomas, or associate degrees, which range in length from one semester to two years. Most of the more than 1,800 programs offered within the Community College System are designed to prepare individuals for entry level technical positions in business and industry with an associate of applied science degree. Each college also offers credit courses in the arts and sciences leading to an associate degree designed for transfer at the junior level into a senior college or university. Developmental education courses are available for students who need to improve their skills so that they can perform at the level required for college transfer, certificate, diploma and associate degree pro-grams. Developmental education programs consist of courses and support services which in-clude, but are not limited to, diagnostic assessment and placement, tutoring, advising, and writ-ing assistance. These courses do not earn credit toward a degree, diploma or certificate but provide the student with courses for academic readiness. Another category of programs is continuing education. These non- credit courses may be occupa-tional, academic, or avocational in nature. Some are offered as a categorically- funded commu-nity service. Others are designed to upgrade occupational skills and are funded through enroll-ment driven formulas ( see Finance). Each of the colleges also offers instruction in basic aca-demic skills which include Adult Basic Education ( K– 8 basic literacy skills), Adult High School and GED programs ( 9– 12 academic preparation), Compensatory Education, and English as a Second Lanaguage ( ESL). Because of the unique character of community colleges, student services programs play an especially important role in the life of the colleges. Students receive academic, personal and career counseling services, special assessment and placement assistance, help in transition to work and job development, and a variety of other services which are essential to the success of the instructional programs. Finally, there is a broad effort in specialized programming, often targeting the economic develop-ment of the community. The New and Expanding Industry Program, the Focused Industrial Training Centers, and the Small Business Center Network all provide direct consulting and custom training to business and industry to promote their success. The Human Resources Devel-opment and Job Training Partnership Act Programs provide services and training specifically targeted to the unemployed and disadvantaged. A variety of other programs connects the col-leges uniquely to the needs and aspirations of their communities. NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION I— PAGE 8 GOVERNANCE The State of North Carolina has assigned the 58 public community colleges and the N. C. Center for Applied Textile Technology to the State Board of Community Colleges. The Board has full authority to adopt all policies, regulations and standards it may deem necessary for operation of the System. The North Carolina Community College System Office serves as a resource agency and an administrative arm of the State Board. In 1999, the General Assembly officially changed the System Office name from the Department of Community Colleges to the North Carolina Community College System Office. The State Board is responsible solely for the Community College System and is not under the domain of any other board or commission. Members of the State Board are selected by the Governor and the General Assembly. Members represent business, industry, education, and government. The Board consists of 21 members. The Lieutenant Governor and the State Treasurer are ex officio members. The Governor appoints 10 members, four from the state at large and one from each of the six trustee regions. Four are elected by the Senate and four more by the House. The president or vice president of the North Carolina Comprehensive Community College Student Government Association serves as an ex officio member. Terms are staggered and expire every odd- numbered year. No person may be appointed or elected to more than two consecutive terms of six years. The Board meets at least ten times per year to evaluate the recommendations of the System Office, to set policy for the System, and to oversee its operation. Members elect a board chair to serve as the Board's leader, spokesperson, and presiding officer. The Chair is responsible for projecting the public image of the Board and providing positive leadership. The System Office, headed by the System President, provides state- level administration and leadership of the Community College System under the direction of the State Board of Commu-nity Colleges. The State Board has three major functions: ( 1) equitable distribution of funds and fiscal account-ability, ( 2) establishing and maintaining state priorities, and ( 3) educational program approval and accountability. Through the exercise of its authority in these areas, the State Board can recommit the System to existing policies or alter the direction of the System through changes in policy. As part of its administrative function, the System Office provides support services for the various program offerings such as nursing, agriculture, and business. The System President's staff assists staff at the colleges by helping to develop and implement curriculums and other programs and by NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION I— PAGE 9 providing technical assistance in a range of areas. The System Office provides other services for the System that would be difficult for an individual institution to initiate, such as statewide data collection. At the local level, each of the colleges operates under a board of trustees. Each board is com-posed of a minimum of twelve citizens from the service area in which the college is located. The president or chairman of the executive board of the student body serves as an ex officio member. Local board members are appointed for staggered four- year terms. Four members each are elected by the local school board and the board of commissioners of the administrative area of the institution. Four members are appointed by the Governor. The board of trustees sets local policy. The local board elects and the State Board approves selection of each college's president. The president operates the college within state policies and policies adopted by the local trustees. Administrative decisions, such as employment of faculty members, may be made by the president. All personnel employed at the colleges are employees of the college and not of the State of North Carolina. NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION I— PAGE 10 FUNDING By law, the State Board of Community Colleges is responsible for providing funds to meet the financial needs of the colleges in accordance with the policies and regulations of the Board. The State Board has delegated authority to the local trustees to disburse the funds within these policies and regulations. Sources of funding include state, federal, and local government as well as tuition. For 2001– 02 the tuition rate is $ 31.00 per credit hour and $ 496.00 maximum tuition charge per semester for in- state students. For out- of- state students, the tuition is $ 173.25 per credit hour and $ 2,772.00 maximum charge per semester. State funds may be used by community colleges for current operating expenses, equipment, library books, acquisition of land and capital construction. Local funds must be used for operating and maintaining facilities or to supplement any state budget item. The percentages of funding origination for 2001– 02 are as follows: State .............. 71.3% Local ............. 13.3% Tuition ........... 12.2% Federal............. 2.5% Other ................. .7% These funds are deposited into the State Treasury. The largest portion is allocated to the colleges based on a formula adopted by the State Board. This formula is stated in Section 2D. 0300 of the North Carolina Administrative Code ( APA). Other funds are appropriated by the legislature and federal government for special purposes. The State Board allocates the funds to the local boards of trustees which are responsible for using these funds in accordance with State Board policies and state and federal laws and regulations. It is the intent of the System to minimize the out- of- pocket expense to students. For that reason, tuition is kept as low as possible. In addition, state and federal aid is provided by grants, loans, and scholarships. Many private companies have established scholarship funds at the local and state level. The Community College System Office audits the enrollment records of the colleges, and the State Auditor's office audits their financial records. North Carolina's fiscal year runs from July 1 to June 30. Unless otherwise specified, all funds not expended during that period revert to the general treasury and are available to the Legislature for reappropriation. NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION I— PAGE 11 THE NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGES FOUNDATION, INC. The Need The System relies primarily on state, local, and federal governmental units and tuition/ fees for both operating and capital investment funds. In the early years of the System's history, traditional funding sources were adequate. During the 1970s and 1980s, increased competition for state and local funds, inflation, the need to update programs and equipment, and demographic changes eroded the System's financial base of support. As the System matured, all 58 community colleges established private foundations ( 503)( c)( 3) for the purpose of raising funds from private sources to support a variety of activities and local projects. The Community College System also realized a need to attract support from large companies and corporations whose presence in North Carolina is pervasive and not related to any particular college. Thus, the NCCCF was established as an avenue to large donors who depend on the Community College System for many of their employees. It is important to note that the NCCCF is not a competitor with local institutional foundations. Rather it is a resource to be used in increasing local support. After several years of inactivity, the Foundation was reorganized in 1998 under the leadership of a Board of Directors recruited from the state's top business, govern-ment, and education leaders. The Foundation Purposes The North Carolina Community Colleges Foundation, Inc. was chartered on September 11, 1986 as a nonprofit charitable corporation and has a 501( c)( 3) designation by the Internal Revenue Service. A board of directors manages the foundation. The purposes of the foundation are to: • Support the mission of the Community College System and to foster and promote the growth, progress, and general welfare of the System. • Support programs, services, and activities of the Community College System which promote the mission of the System. • Support and promote excellence in administration and instruction throughout the System. NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION I— PAGE 12 • Foster quality in programs and encourage research to support long- range planning in the System. • Provide an alternative vehicle for contributions of funds to support programs, services, and activities that are not being funded adequately through traditional resources. • Broaden the base of the Community College System's support. • Lend support and prestige to fund- raising efforts of the institutions in the System. • Communicate to the public the System's mission and responsiveness to local needs. NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION I— PAGE 13 SERVICE AREA ASSIGNMENTS Philosophy Service areas were established in order to control the offering of courses by a community college in specific geographic areas. The assignments do not regulate or establish attendance areas. Citizens may enroll in any course at any college they choose. Purpose The purpose of service area assignments is to assign specific geographic areas for all colleges, thereby assigning the authority and responsibility for providing courses in a county other than the one in which the college is located. The assignments also include a coordination procedure, whereby a college may offer courses in another college's service area when there is mutual consent and written agreement ( Section 2C. 0100, North Carolina Administrative Code).

Wilson NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION I— PAGE 17 STATEWIDE PLAN On May 19, 2000, the State Board of Community Colleges adopted the North Carolina Community College System 2001– 2003 Strategic Plan. In addition to being used in the development of the 2001– 2003 biennial budget request, the plan sets the strategic direction for the System; communicates the mission, goals and objectives of the System; and enhances the System’s ability to achieve the commit-ment and support of major stakeholders. The System has adopted a two- year planning cycle, with continuous review and evaluation during the cycle. A System Planning Council, composed of State Board of Community College members, local college trustees, college presidents, deans and other college representatives and System Office staff, are responsible for the development of goals and objectives. The process involves input from major stake-holders across the state. The plan undergoes extensive review prior to being presented to the State Board for final adoption. A copy of the 2001– 2003 Strategic Plan can be found on the System Office web page at www. ncccs. cc. nc. us. College- Level Planning Each community college is responsible for developing an annual institutional effectiveness plan that complies with requirements established by the North Carolina General Assembly, the State Board of Community Colleges, and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools ( SACS). As part of the local planning process, colleges are expected to address goals and objectives in the System’s 2001– 2003 Strategic Plan, where appropriate. The System Office monitors college- level planning as part of the annual educational program audit process. More information on the institutional effectiveness plan guidelines can be found on the System Office web page at www. ncccs. cc. nc. us. Critical Success Factors The State Board of Community Colleges has adopted critical success factors to measure the performance of the System. The five factors were developed by the System Planning Council and include System and, where available, institutional level data. The five factors currently in use are: Core Indicators of Student Success; Workforce Development; Diverse Populations Learning Needs; Resources; and Technology. Data are being collected on 42 measures of progress toward success as indicated by the factors. An initial report, presenting five years of data, was presented to the State Board of Community Colleges and the General Assembly in April 1990. The current Critical Success Factors report can be found under Publications on the System Office web page at www. ncccs. cc. nc. us.

Programs are offered at the certificate, diploma and the associate of applied science degree levels. Certificate programs range from 12 to 18 semester hour credits and can usually be completed within one semester for a full- time student. Associate degree level courses within a certificate program may also be applied toward a diploma or an associate of applied science degree. Diploma programs range from 36 to 48 semester hour credits and can usually be completed within two semesters and one summer term for a full- time student. Associate degree level courses within a diploma program may also be applied toward an associate of applied science degree. Most curriculum programs lead to an associate of applied science degree. Associate of applied science degree programs range from 64 to 76 semester hour credits. A full- time student can typically complete one of these programs within two years. In addition to technical/ major course work, associate of applied science degree programs require a minimum of 15 semester hour credits of general education. General education requirements include course work in communi-cations, humanities/ fine arts, social/ behavioral sciences and natural sciences/ mathematics. New programs are established as a response to local and regional labor market needs and student demand. Each program is approved by the State Board of Community Colleges following a regular curriculum approval process for applications submitted by individual community col-leges. Curriculums are designed and developed by the applying college with input from employ-ers and advisory committee members. Many programs being offered are of regional interest and may be offered by only one or a small number of colleges within the System.

NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION II— PAGE 26 BASIC SKILLS The mission of the Basic Skills program is to assist adults to become literate and obtain the knowledge and skills necessary for employment and self- sufficiency, assist adults who are parents to obtain the educational skills necessary to become full partners in the educational development of their children, and assist adults in the completion of a secondary school education. The system provides educational oppor-tunities for adults to improve their reading, writing, mathematics, and communication skills through five major program components. Adult Basic Education ( ABE)— A program of instruction designed for adults who lack competence in reading, writing, speaking, problem solving, or computation at a level necessary to function in society, on a job or in the family. General Educational Development ( GED)— A program of instruction designed to prepare adult students to pass the GED tests that lead to a high school diploma equivalency. Adult High School ( AHS)— A program of instruction offered cooperatively with local public school systems to help adults earn an Adult High School Diploma. English Literacy/ English as a Second Language ( ESL)— A program of instruction designed to help adults who have limited English proficiency achieve competence in the English language. Compensatory Education ( CED)— A program to compensate adults with mental retardation who have not had an education or who have received an inadequate one. The program requires specialized diagno-sis and consists of a specially designed curriculum. The main emphasis of the Basic Skills program is helping all individuals gain the competencies and skills they need to function effectively in society; therefore, even students who have a high school diploma may enroll in Basic Skills. Students with a high school diploma are allowed to enroll in Adult Basic Educa-tion ( ABE) if their skills are below high school level. A limited number of adults who score at the high school level may also be served, especially in workplace or family literacy classes. HSG* ( High School Graduate) is the designation for students with a high school diploma who enroll in AHS or GED pro-grams. Students must be placed in these programs by a placement test.

NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION II— PAGE 27 CARL D. PERKINS VOCATIONAL AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION ACT OF 1998 The purpose of the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act is to make the United States more competitive in the world economy by developing more fully the academic, vocational and technical skills of students who enroll in vocational and technical education programs. This is achieved through concentrating resources on improving educational programs and services that lead to academic and occupational skill competencies needed to work in a technologically ad-vanced society. This Act provides federal resources to support programs and activities that strengthen student skills, promote integration of academic and vocational instruction, expand the use of technology, provide professional development, and increase opportunities for special populations students. Key elements of the Act: • Requires 85% of the available funds be allocated to local community colleges by a formula based upon the number of Pell Grant recipients in a college as a percentage of such recipients in the System. • Places major emphasis on providing strong academic and vocational competencies, integrating instruction, providing professional development, and expanding the use of technology in the classroom. • Maintains emphasis on providing services for students who are members of a special popula-tion ( persons with disabilities, economically disadvantaged persons, individuals preparing for non- traditional training and employment, single parents, displaced homemakers, and individuals with other barriers to educational achievement including individuals with limited English proficiency). • Provides greater accountability by requiring the measurement of student achievement against established core indicators of performance. • Maintains funding for Tech Prep through Title II of the Act. NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION II— PAGE 28 COMMUNITY SERVICE Community service programs are designed to provide courses, seminars and activities that ( 1) contribute to the community’s overall cultural, civic and intellectual growth; and ( 2) assist adults in the development of new personal or leisure skills or the upgrading of existing ones. Community Service Courses— Community Service courses consist of single courses, each complete in itself, that focus on an individual’s personal or leisure needs. Cultural and Civic Activities— The cultural and civic, and intellectual growth component of this program meets community needs through lecture and concert series, art shows, the use of college facilities by community groups, providing speakers to community organizations, and providing visiting artist activities for college communities. Visiting artists may be provided an opportunity to work as artists in residence to enhance local arts resources and promote the various visual, performing and literary arts in communities throughout North Carolina. Each college must address community service programs in the colleges’ institutional effective-ness plan which is submitted annually to the System Office. NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION II— PAGE 29 CORRECTIONAL EDUCATION Correctional education includes classes offered by the North Carolina Community College System ( NCCCS) to inmates in Department of Correction ( DOC) prisons, federal prisons and local jails. In 2000– 01, 47 community colleges offered instruction to students in a prison setting.

The plan addressed the specific legislative concerns of high inmate mobility and low student completion rates. The cornerstone of the CEP is the matrix classification system, a joint North Carolina Commu-nity College System/ Department of Correction initiative designed to increase student completion rates by ensuring that course and program lengths are appropriate for the inmate population at any given prison unit. Under the matrix system, the Department of Correction assigns each unit to one of five matrix categories which define educational programming options at the units. Local college and prison officials use a prison's matrix category to guide course planning. The State Board of Community Colleges and DOC officials use the matrix categories as the first criterion when considering course approvals for a correctional facility. NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION II— PAGE 30 Correctional education is defined as follows: Correctional education provided through the NCCCS shall be for the purpose of providing appropriate basic skills, occupational continuing education, and vocational, technical and post-secondary academic education that enables inmates to enhance and maintain their personal growth and development in order that they function effectively in prison and upon returning to the community. All courses and programs provided through the NCCCS shall be appropriate to these purposes and shall not be designed for population control, therapy, recreation, production processes of the enterprise operations of the correctional facility, or other purposes which may be legitimate objectives of DOC program efforts. NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION II— PAGE 31 DISTANCE LEARNING The North Carolina Community College System utilizes distance learning technologies, includ-ing telecourses, interactive video and Web- based courses, to provide students across the state with increased access to training and education. The chart below shows the growth in the use of these technologies. Advantages of Telecommunications Technologies These technologies enable community colleges to: • Share courses among themselves. • Increase college access to students. • Participate in interactive telemeetings, thereby saving on travel expenses. • Share expertise in order to improve productivity. • Cooperate in the use of facilities and equipment. • Realize savings through the “ wholesale” purchase of licenses for programs and services. • Offer computer- based courses that are not time- bound or place- bound.

This results in a savings of 50 to 65 percent compared to what the cost would be if each college purchased its own licenses. Interactive Video— The N. C. Integrated Information Network Still often called the N. C. Information Highway ( NCIH), the N. C. Integrated Information Network ( NCIIN), as of February 2002, provided two- way video and data connectivity for 40 community colleges and the System Office. The total number of sites was 48, because some colleges have more than one site on the same campus or a site at a satellite campus. Colleges are joining the network almost every month. The map on page 34 identifies the location of the community colleges that have NCIIN video sites in each county. Colleges that do not have NCIIN interactive video sites are connected by what is called the Anchor Net T- 1 that provides high- speed Internet data and the capability of running IP video. As of February 2001, five colleges plus the System Office have IP or ISDN video capability and seven others are in the planning stage. The Virtual Learning Community— Web- based Courses The North Carolina Community College System Virtual Learning Community is based on a collaborative model of colleges working jointly to provide quality instruction through Web- based technology. The Common Virtual Course Library ( CVCL) contains courses developed using a model that ensures both quality and flexibility while limiting course duplication. The CVCL consists of Internet- based courses that have been collaboratively developed by faculty from member colleges. The CVCL courses are based on a course template design model that includes competencies and content but allows flexibility in tailoring the courses to meet local needs. Any member college may access and adapt any CVCL course following the same policies that govern the Common Course Library course offerings The ITFS Project When completed, the ITFS network will provide broadband wireless connectivity to the Internet for 39 community colleges. This network will provide a means of delivering the courses of the Virtual Learning Community. It may also provide a revenue stream that could be used to develop more courses. Plans are being made to provide wireless connectivity for the remaining colleges utilizing other transmission modes. NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION II— PAGE 33 The National Guard Project The North Carolina National Guard ( NCNG) has a goal of having all of their personnel in the state, both military and civilian, within easy driving distance of a distance learning or telecom-munications classroom. Rather than placing these facilities in NCNG Armories, they have chosen to place them in community colleges where the facilities can be used by the community colleges and other local, state, and federal agencies. The NCNG pays for state of the art video and computer equipment, installation, and any needed room renovations. There are 10 such facilities in community colleges and more are planned. There will be a National Guard network over which most of their military training will be done by military personnel. Career enhance-ment training, for both military and civilian personnel of the NCNG, will be done over the state network ( NCIIN). As soon as security issues can be solved, the two networks can be intercon-nected. N. C. Distance Learning Alliance Conference In the summer of 2001, the Distance Learning Alliance Conference drew 458 people, down by 100 compared to the 2000 conference. We believe that virtually all of the decline was due to state budgeting constraints. The System Office’s Telecommunications section continues to provide the leadership in planning and implementation. The conference truly is a professional development activity that focuses on the utilization of all telecommunications or information technologies as a means of providing more and better services to more of the citizens of North Carolina. In addition to personnel from the N. C. Community College System, the conference now serves personnel from the Public School System, the University of North Carolina System, and state agencies. Production of Programming Teleconferences or telemeetings are produced and delivered to all 58 community colleges, either by the NCIIN or satellite. NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION II— PAGE 35 FIRE AND RESCUE TRAINING SERVICES In 2000– 01 the North Carolina Community College System provided training to 128,112 stu-dents who serve as both paid and volunteer fire fighters and members of rescue squads in the state. This training serves to improve the fire fighters' skills and education in areas such as basic firefighting and rescue to advanced management training. Service certification is provided in the areas of basic firefighting skills, public education, driver– operator, hazardous materials, arson investigation, rescue, fire officer, and instructional techniques. Several programs are now offered in specialty areas such as advanced rescue techniques, incident command, leadership and man-agement training. Training is delivered in local fire departments and community colleges. Classes are conducted during the day, evenings and on weekends to meet varying student needs. Over thirty regional training seminars were offered by various community colleges where classes are provided during a weekend for the accessibility of volunteer fire and rescue personnel. All training is provided without fees to members of local fire departments and rescue squads.

Since 1981 the Focused Industrial Training ( FIT) Program has responded to a wide variety of training needs with a very significant number of the state’s business or industrial firms. Traditionally, FIT projects and training programs have been primarily directed toward veteran workers in manufacturing industries who need to renew their skills and technical knowledge; training assistance has been jointly planned by a sponsoring college and the participating industry to assure that the activities are focused on the reality of the identified needs. During the fiscal year 2000- 01, the State Board of Community Colleges acted upon a special provision passed by the General Assembly that expanded eligibility for the FIT Program to include industries “ in-volved in the design and programming of computers and telecommunications systems.” There-fore, in addition to manufacturing companies that were previously eligible ( NAICS Codes 3111 through 3399) the action by the General Assembly and State Board made companies with the North American Industrial Classification codes 5112 and 5415 potentially eligible for some FIT program assistance. In fiscal year 2000– 01, the system had 37 FIT Centers and 3 consortiums that were awarded an annual allotment of funds averaging $ 78,143. Allotments ranging from $ 5,000 to $ 17,500 are also distributed to colleges that do not have a designated FIT Center, and the System Office maintains a limited “ balance- of- state” fund that may be considered and funds approved for unmet training needs when a college exhausts all allotted FIT funds. FIT Centers are staffed with a director who works directly with industry personnel to assess training needs and develop training programs tailored to those needs. The director conducts and analyzes surveys within companies, develops and administers pre- and post- training tests to evaluate skills, determines skill and knowledge content of jobs, organizes that content into a learning sequence, and then jointly plans training that cannot be addressed through other existing occupational programs. # OF FIT # OF TOTAL # TOTAL # OF YEAR CENTERS COMPANIES OF TRAINEES SKILLS CLASSES 1996– 97 36 711 8,943 965 1997– 98 36 576 8,939 887 1998– 99 38 666 14,256 1,153 1999– 00 39 705 12,186 1,196 2000– 01 40 630 13,404 1,519 NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION II— PAGE 37 HUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM The Human Resources Development ( HRD) program provides skill assessment services, em-ployability skills training, and career development counseling to unemployed and underemployed adults. Their courses address six core components as follows: • Assessment of an individual’s assets and limitations • Development of a positive self- concept • Development of employability skills • Development of communication skills • Development of problem- solving skills • Awareness of the impact on information technology in the workplace Following the completion of HRD training, graduates of the program are helped in their search for a job or enrollment in additional training. All program graduates continue to receive career and educational counseling and further placement help as needed for twelve months after gradua-tion. Performance indicators for the program are positive: Since 1975, the program enrolled 228,864 students. During 2000– 01, the program enrolled 24,386 students. Within the last five years, student enrollment has increased from 14,341 to 24,386. This is close to a 42 percent increase. Currently, 67 percent of all graduates are placed into jobs immediately upon completion of the program. The number increases to 90 percent by the end of the 12- month follow- up period. From 1974– 1999, graduates have increased their income by $ 201 million and reduced their public assistance benefits by $ 27 million. Most important, the program has been successful in responding to the needs of unemployed and underemployed adults in North Carolina. NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION II— PAGE 38 IN- PLANT TRAINING PROGRAM The In- Plant Training Program enables the colleges to assist manufacturing, service, and/ or governmental organizations with inservice training of their employees. This occupational exten-sion training includes involvement in five areas: industry, business, health, government and agriculture. Training occurs in the facilities or at the site in which an organization normally operates and at the employee's assigned work station. This method of delivering skills training works very well for companies where it is not feasible to duplicate the training environment in an institutional setting. Production industries continue to benefit most from in- plant training. On- the- job training contin-ues to be utilized in all sectors for training of new hires and in the retraining of veteran workers. In 1993 the rules and procedures governing in- plant training were substantially changed.

No one has more experience helping companies with these issues than the North Carolina Community College System ( NCCCS). North Carolina pioneered free, customized job training for new and expanding businesses in 1958, and continues to be one of the nation's most recognized state customized job training services. The NCCCS has been ranked the nation's number one worker training program and received the 1999 State Innovation Award for workforce development programs from the Educa-tion Commission of the States. With decades of experience, the community colleges have provided free customized training to literally thousands of new and expanding companies, meeting the widest possible variety of training needs. Services are made available to companies that create 12 or more new production-related jobs in any one community in North Carolina during a one- year period over and above their previous three- year maximum employment level. The extent of services provided is based on the number of new jobs created, their skill levels, and the level of total capital investment. Companies that are eligible for new and expanding industry programs include manufacturing and technology- based companies, national data processing operations, and customer service centers. Training services provided to these companies include instructors and training program develop-ment, video and other customized media programs, instructor travel costs and other training-related expenditures such as temporary training facilities, equipment, materials, and supplies. During the 2000– 01 program year, the North Carolina Community Colleges provided free cus-tomized training to 203 new and expanding companies in the state and trained 24,068 North Carolinians with the skills necessary for successful new employment.

They may be privately owned, a partnership or a corporation. Under Article 8 of the North Carolina General Statutes 115D, the State Board of Community Colleges is charged with the responsibility of licensing certain proprietary business, trade and correspondence schools in North Carolina. This responsibility was transferred from the State Board of Education by action of the General Assembly in 1987. The initial licensing process consists of four phases and may take from four to six months because of the investigations and reviews required. To be licensed, proprietary schools must pay an initial licensing fee of $ 750, a renewal fee of $ 500 each year thereafter and meet the general requirements for licensing including standards for program and course offerings, facilities, financial stability, personnel, and operat-ing practices. In addition to complying with licensure requirements, schools may obtain accreditation by national, professional and specialized accrediting bodies. Accreditation is a voluntary system of non- governmental self- regulation. Through the process of accreditation, institutions and the programs they offer are evalu-ated and recognized by the U. S. Secretary of Education as reliable authorities concerning the quality of postsecondary education or training offered by educational institutions or programs they accredit. The State Board of Community Colleges and other state boards or agencies charged with regulating the proprietary school industry in North Carolina include the following: • Division of Motor Vehicles— Truck Driving Schools • Division of Facility Services— Nurse Aide I Programs • N. C. Board of Barber Examiners— Barber Schools • N. C. Board of Cosmetic Art Examiners— Beauty Schools • N. C. Board of Massage and Bodywork Therapy— Massage and Bodywork Therapy Program • N. C.

These centers provide a wide variety of seminars and workshops, one- on- one counseling, a library of resources, and referrals to other sources of help to owners and operators of small businesses. The mission of each SBC is to help the many small businesses within its service area survive, prosper, and contribute to the economic well- being of the community and the state. This service, supported exclusively with state funds, began with eight centers in 1984. Since then, it has grown gradually; the last five colleges joined the network in 1995. Today, each center receives an annual grant of approximately $ 66,000. Educational Opportunities— Seminars/ workshops and courses on the how- to of business opera-tions including business planning, management, finance, computers/ software, communications, taxes, behavioral needs, and specialty ( technical and targeted market) needs. The SBCN also offers the Export READY Program, which is designed to walk North Carolina companies through the export process, step- by- step, with real life examples and current detailed informa-tion. Plus, OSHA Regulations training; IRS Small Business Tax Workshops; Government Purchasing and Contracts; and a Business Start- up series taught in Spanish for the Hispanic population. Business Counseling— Small Business Centers provide free, confidential counseling for new and existing businesses. The counselor serves as a sounding board for ideas and concerns and will help find solutions to challenging business questions.

In 1991, NCCATT became the 59th institution in the North Carolina Community College System. The Center specializes in curriculum and extension instruction designed for the textile industry and is the only school of its kind in North Carolina. Located in Belmont, the NCCATT campus sits in the middle of the largest concentration of textile manufacturing plants in the world. Un-like its community college counterparts, the Center’s service area is not restricted to a surround-ing county. The Center serves the entire state. Curriculum and continuing education students come from all over North Carolina, from other states and even foreign countries. The Center provides opportunities for North Carolina citizens and others to enroll in educational training programs either for occupational preparation or skills upgrading specific to the textile and related industries. Seminars and short courses are also taken off campus to manufacturing sites or other community colleges. The Center provides these opportunities through cooperative arrangements with other institutions and agencies in the state through curriculum programs, training, continuing education, technical assistance and business support. The Center's role in educating North Carolina's major industry is dynamic and ever- changing. Although 90 percent of the Center’s instruction is in continuing education, the Center has created innovative ways to provide a valuable curriculum for students pursuing degrees or diplomas. The Center currently has an ambitious textile tech- prep program in Gaston County designed to prepare high school graduates for direct entrance to the industry. This year's program attracted over 200 high school sophomores, juniors and seniors, who have received extensive hands- on training in the Center's yarn manufacturing, dyeing/ finishing and fabric formation laboratories. A portion of these tech- prep students also participated in an electrical tech- prep program taught on campus and at live site locations. NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION II— PAGE 46 CURRICULUM Certificate Program— Eleven programs designed to help students become well- edu-cated, highly- skilled, and productive employees in the textile industry. The programs will take approximately one year to complete. Textile Technology— A one- year series of courses leading to a diploma. This program is designed to train entry- level technicians. Textile Management— A two- year program for individuals seeking front- line supervi-sory responsibilities. Courses lead to an associate in applied science degree.

The purpose of WIA is to prepare youth, adults, and dislocated workers for employment or further education and training through core, intensive, and training services. The cornerstone of the new workforce investment system is “ One- Stop” service deliv-ery which unifies numerous training, education and employment programs into a single, cus-tomer- friendly system. The underlying notion of “ One- Stop” is the integration of programs, services and governance structures. This system in North Carolina is referred to as “ JobLink Career Centers.” Pathways to Employment Pathways to Employment is an integrated training model that supports the welfare reform effort by enhancing coordination of workforce training for Work First participants. Key elements of the model include offering integrated training in the areas of Human Resources Development, Basic Skills, and Occupational Extension.

The essen-tial elements of this process are outlined below: • One student who takes 16 hours of class work for one semester ( or 16 weeks) generates 256 hours. If this same student attends classes for one year, the student would generate 688 hours which is equivalent to one annual FTE. One fall or spring semester FTE = 16 hours x 16 weeks = 256 hours One summer term FTE = 16 hours x 11 weeks = 176 hours In order for a college to generate budget, approximately 18 FTEs must be generated before an instructional unit can be allocated. Each year the dollar amount for curriculum ( credit) and extension ( no- credit) changes depending on funds available. • The actual dollar amount paid to each college by the state for each FTE earned is determined by the amount of money appropriated by the General Assembly for this purpose. Therefore, it varies from year to year. It is also different for FTEs earned by students in curriculum ( degree or certificate) programs and continuing education or extension programs. ( If the Legislature fails to increase funding as enrollments increase, the institutions do not receive funds for the full number of FTE credits earned.) • FTE funds are to be used for current operating expenses such as instructional salaries, sup-plies and travel, administration, clerical and fiscal support, counselors, librarians, financial aid, placement and other personnel performing services for students. An average of 90– 92 percent of these funds is used for salaries. • The majority of funds ( 90%) is allocated to the colleges based on applicable FTE formulas. Current operating funds are allotted based on FTE generated in the curriculum programs for the preceding academic year ( fall, spring) or the latest three- year average whichever is greater. Continuing Education funds are based on FTE earned in the previous spring semes-ter, summer term, and fall semester or the latest three- year average whichever is greater. Continuing Education programs include Occupational Extension and Basic Skills Education. Funds for Community Service Programs are allotted as a block grant and can only be used for community service programs. Community Service Programs do not generate budget FTE. NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION III— PAGE 51 • Funds allotted for educational equipment and library books are based on a weighted FTE formula. The previous calendar year's actual FTE ( spring, summer, and fall) are used in determining the fund distribution. • Other State- Aid funds are distributed based on either project proposal or some modified FTE formulas. • FTE funds may NOT be used for utilities ( including telephone) or plant maintenance. These costs must be paid from local sources. • Recreational courses must be offered as self- supporting unless they are required as part of a particular curriculum. NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION III— PAGE 52 DESCRIPTION OF STATE LEVEL EXPENDITURES ( Year ended June 30, 2001) • Executive Division— The funds expended in this area include the President's Office, the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Office, External Affairs, Legal Affairs, Governmental Relations, and Board of Education Liaison. • Administration— The funds expended in this area include Vice President's Office, Telecommunications, Planning and Research, Information Resources and Technology, Information Services, Program Auditing, Personnel Services, and Library Resources. • Business and Finance— The funds expended in this area include Business and Finance Administration, Budgeting and Accounting, and Administrative and Facility Services. • Academic and Student Services— The funds expended in this area include Academic and Student Services Administration, Curriculum and Student Services, Program Services, Tech Prep, School- to- Work, Vocational Education, Basic Skills, EvenStart Family Literacy, Special Populations Training, Literacy Resource Center, Grants and Assessment, and Professional Development. • Economic and Workforce Development— The funds expended in this area include Economic andWorkforce Development Administration, Continuing Education, Regional Training, Small Business, HRD, and Workforce Initiatives. • Unallotted Expenses— The funds expended represent payments at the state level for the benefit of the colleges and include: Workers' Compensation, Adult Basic Education– Special Allotment, Liability Insurance, Diploma Nursing, GED Scoring, Networking, Systemwide Projects, and NC Live. • Books— The funds expended represent payments at the state level for freight on books sent to the colleges. • Indirect Costs— Indirect costs are computed on direct current operating expenses allowable under the various federal grants. The funds received for indirect costs are reverted to the State.

PURPOSE Support of economic growth and prosperity through education was the underlying concept in the development of the Community College System. All of the institutions in the North Carolina Community College System offer technical and occupational training and basic education to prepare adults for the job market. In addition, each community college offers the first two years of a baccalaureate program. The mission of the System has been defined in the North Carolina General Statutes ( 115D- 1): . . . the establishment, organization, and administration of a system of educational institutions throughout the state offering courses of instruction in one or more of the general areas of two- year college parallel, technical, vocational, and adult education programs . . . The law further states that: . . . The major purpose of each and every institution operating under the provisions of this Chapter shall be and shall continue to be the offering of vocational and technical education and training, and of basic, high school level, academic education needed in order to profit from vocational and technical education, for students who are high school graduates or who are beyond the compulsory age limit of the public school system and who have left the public schools. . . . The statutory mission statement serves to keep the System focused on vocational and technical education. It also specifically mandates provision of basic academic education for adults through the high school level. These programs— vocational and technical education, and basic academic education for adults— have priority status because of their specific place in the statutory mission statement. The mission directs the System to serve adults and other people who have left the public schools and are beyond compulsory school age. This definition provides the background for develop-ment of policies governing the institutions' relationship to the public schools. It is the statutory mission statement from which the " working mission statement" derives. It is the working mission statement which focuses the Community College System's resources by responding to contemporary societal issues. Legitimized by the State Board of Community Colleges, the working mission dynamically mobilizes our abilities to concentrate on current concerns. NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION I— PAGE 3 The Working Mission Statement The mission of the North Carolina Community College System is to open the door to high-quality, accessible educational opportunities that minimize barriers to postsecondary education, maximize student success, and improve the lives and well- being of individuals by providing: • Education, training and retraining for the workforce, including basic skills and literacy education, occupational and pre- baccalaureate programs. • Support for economic development through services to and in partnership with business and industry. • Services to communities and individuals, which improve the quality of life. Amended, effective August 1, 2000. NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION I— PAGE 4 HISTORY In the years following World War II, North Carolina began a rapid shift from an agricultural to an industrial economy. With that change came an awareness that a different kind of education was needed in the state. People who did not desire a four- year baccalaureate education nevertheless had the need for more than a high school diploma. In 1950, the State Superintendent of Public Instruction authorized a study of the need for a system of tax- supported community colleges. The resulting report, by Dr. Allan S. Hurlburt, was published in 1952. It proposed a plan for development of state- supported community colleges. In 1957, the General Assembly adopted the first Community College Act and provided funding for community colleges. The same ( 1957) General Assembly also provided funding to initiate a statewide system of industrial education centers. These centers were to train adults and selected high school students in skills needed by industry. By 1961, there were five public junior colleges emphasizing arts and sciences and seven industrial education centers focusing on technical and vocational educa-tion. The need to coordinate these two post- high school education systems led Governor Terry Sanford to appoint the Governor's Commission on Education Beyond the High School ( Irving Carlyle, chair). In 1962, this commission recommended that the two types of institutions be brought into one administrative organization under the State Board of Education and local boards of trustees. The resulting unified Community College System would provide comprehensive post- high school education. In May 1963, the General Assembly, in line with the Carlyle Commission report, enacted G. S. 115A ( later changed to 115D), which provided for the establishment of a Department of Commu-nity Colleges under the State Board of Education and for the administration of institutions in the Community College System. There were then 20 industrial education centers, six community colleges ( three of which became four- year schools in 1963), and five extension units. By 1966, there were 43 institutions with 28,250 full- time equivalent ( FTE) enrollments. In 1969, there were 54 institutions with 59,329 FTE. The System had grown rapidly, exceeding ten percent annually nearly every year until the late 1970s. In 1974– 75, growth reached the 33 percent mark. The System continues to grow in enrollments nearly every year, but by much more modest margins. The number of colleges has not increased since Brunswick Community College became the 58th in 1979. NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION I— PAGE 5 The original legislation placed the Community College System under the purview of the State Board of Education and created a State Department of Community Colleges. In the early years of the System, the State Board of Education Chair was Dallas Herring; David Bruton succeeded him in 1977. In 1979, the General Assembly changed the state control of the System. Provision was made for a separate State Board of Community Colleges. The Board was appointed and organized in 1980, and met several times with the State Board of Education. The new Board assumed full responsibility for the System on January 1, 1981. The Board's first chairperson was Duke Power company executive Carl Horn. He was succeeded in 1983 by John A. Forlines, president of the Bank of Granite and then William F. Simpson in 1989. In 1993, Lt. Governor Dennis A. Wicker was elected chair and served in this capacity until July of 1999. He was succeeded by retired community college president Dr. G. Herman Porter. In July 2001, Mr. James J. Woody was elected chair. The Community College System Office has had six presidents: I. E. Ready ( 1963– 1970), Ben E. Fountain, Jr. ( 1971– 1978), Larry J. Blake ( 1979– 1982), Robert W. Scott ( 1983– 1994), Lloyd V. Hackley ( 1995– 1997), and H. Martin Lancaster ( July 1997– present). Charles R. Holloman served in an acting capacity from September 1978 to July 1979. In 1988, the North Carolina Community College System celebrated its 25th anniversary, recog-nizing that in its first quarter century of service, the System had emerged as the nation's third largest community college network. During its 39- year history, the North Carolina Community College System has educated millions of students and employed thousands of faculty and staff. In November of 1987, the State Board established the Commission on the Future of the North Carolina Community College System. The 23- member, blue ribbon panel of business, civic and education leaders was charged with establishing a systemwide agenda for policy and action over the next 25 years. The resulting Commission on the Future report, released in 1989, outlined 33 recommendations for action and change. These recommendations for action and change have served as the foundation of the System planning process since 1989. The influence of the Com-mission on the Future report is evident in the 2001– 2003 System Strategic Plan goals and objec-tives. STATE BOARD OF COMMUNITY COLLEGES GOALS 1.

NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION I— PAGE 7 PROGRAMS The North Carolina Community College System offers a comprehensive range of educational programs to meet the needs of local communities for workforce preparedness and higher aca-demic education, basic educational skills, job retraining, personal growth and development, and community and economic development. These programs are organized under several broad categories. Curriculum programs are made up of credit courses leading to certificates, diplomas, or associate degrees, which range in length from one semester to two years. Most of the more than 1,800 programs offered within the Community College System are designed to prepare individuals for entry level technical positions in business and industry with an associate of applied science degree. Each college also offers credit courses in the arts and sciences leading to an associate degree designed for transfer at the junior level into a senior college or university. Developmental education courses are available for students who need to improve their skills so that they can perform at the level required for college transfer, certificate, diploma and associate degree pro-grams. Developmental education programs consist of courses and support services which in-clude, but are not limited to, diagnostic assessment and placement, tutoring, advising, and writ-ing assistance. These courses do not earn credit toward a degree, diploma or certificate but provide the student with courses for academic readiness. Another category of programs is continuing education. These non- credit courses may be occupa-tional, academic, or avocational in nature. Some are offered as a categorically- funded commu-nity service. Others are designed to upgrade occupational skills and are funded through enroll-ment driven formulas ( see Finance). Each of the colleges also offers instruction in basic aca-demic skills which include Adult Basic Education ( K– 8 basic literacy skills), Adult High School and GED programs ( 9– 12 academic preparation), Compensatory Education, and English as a Second Lanaguage ( ESL). Because of the unique character of community colleges, student services programs play an especially important role in the life of the colleges. Students receive academic, personal and career counseling services, special assessment and placement assistance, help in transition to work and job development, and a variety of other services which are essential to the success of the instructional programs. Finally, there is a broad effort in specialized programming, often targeting the economic develop-ment of the community. The New and Expanding Industry Program, the Focused Industrial Training Centers, and the Small Business Center Network all provide direct consulting and custom training to business and industry to promote their success. The Human Resources Devel-opment and Job Training Partnership Act Programs provide services and training specifically targeted to the unemployed and disadvantaged. A variety of other programs connects the col-leges uniquely to the needs and aspirations of their communities. NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION I— PAGE 8 GOVERNANCE The State of North Carolina has assigned the 58 public community colleges and the N. C. Center for Applied Textile Technology to the State Board of Community Colleges. The Board has full authority to adopt all policies, regulations and standards it may deem necessary for operation of the System. The North Carolina Community College System Office serves as a resource agency and an administrative arm of the State Board. In 1999, the General Assembly officially changed the System Office name from the Department of Community Colleges to the North Carolina Community College System Office. The State Board is responsible solely for the Community College System and is not under the domain of any other board or commission. Members of the State Board are selected by the Governor and the General Assembly. Members represent business, industry, education, and government. The Board consists of 21 members. The Lieutenant Governor and the State Treasurer are ex officio members. The Governor appoints 10 members, four from the state at large and one from each of the six trustee regions. Four are elected by the Senate and four more by the House. The president or vice president of the North Carolina Comprehensive Community College Student Government Association serves as an ex officio member. Terms are staggered and expire every odd- numbered year. No person may be appointed or elected to more than two consecutive terms of six years. The Board meets at least ten times per year to evaluate the recommendations of the System Office, to set policy for the System, and to oversee its operation. Members elect a board chair to serve as the Board's leader, spokesperson, and presiding officer. The Chair is responsible for projecting the public image of the Board and providing positive leadership. The System Office, headed by the System President, provides state- level administration and leadership of the Community College System under the direction of the State Board of Commu-nity Colleges. The State Board has three major functions: ( 1) equitable distribution of funds and fiscal account-ability, ( 2) establishing and maintaining state priorities, and ( 3) educational program approval and accountability. Through the exercise of its authority in these areas, the State Board can recommit the System to existing policies or alter the direction of the System through changes in policy. As part of its administrative function, the System Office provides support services for the various program offerings such as nursing, agriculture, and business. The System President's staff assists staff at the colleges by helping to develop and implement curriculums and other programs and by NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION I— PAGE 9 providing technical assistance in a range of areas. The System Office provides other services for the System that would be difficult for an individual institution to initiate, such as statewide data collection. At the local level, each of the colleges operates under a board of trustees. Each board is com-posed of a minimum of twelve citizens from the service area in which the college is located. The president or chairman of the executive board of the student body serves as an ex officio member. Local board members are appointed for staggered four- year terms. Four members each are elected by the local school board and the board of commissioners of the administrative area of the institution. Four members are appointed by the Governor. The board of trustees sets local policy. The local board elects and the State Board approves selection of each college's president. The president operates the college within state policies and policies adopted by the local trustees. Administrative decisions, such as employment of faculty members, may be made by the president. All personnel employed at the colleges are employees of the college and not of the State of North Carolina. NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION I— PAGE 10 FUNDING By law, the State Board of Community Colleges is responsible for providing funds to meet the financial needs of the colleges in accordance with the policies and regulations of the Board. The State Board has delegated authority to the local trustees to disburse the funds within these policies and regulations. Sources of funding include state, federal, and local government as well as tuition. For 2001– 02 the tuition rate is $ 31.00 per credit hour and $ 496.00 maximum tuition charge per semester for in- state students. For out- of- state students, the tuition is $ 173.25 per credit hour and $ 2,772.00 maximum charge per semester. State funds may be used by community colleges for current operating expenses, equipment, library books, acquisition of land and capital construction. Local funds must be used for operating and maintaining facilities or to supplement any state budget item. The percentages of funding origination for 2001– 02 are as follows: State .............. 71.3% Local ............. 13.3% Tuition ........... 12.2% Federal............. 2.5% Other ................. .7% These funds are deposited into the State Treasury. The largest portion is allocated to the colleges based on a formula adopted by the State Board. This formula is stated in Section 2D. 0300 of the North Carolina Administrative Code ( APA). Other funds are appropriated by the legislature and federal government for special purposes. The State Board allocates the funds to the local boards of trustees which are responsible for using these funds in accordance with State Board policies and state and federal laws and regulations. It is the intent of the System to minimize the out- of- pocket expense to students. For that reason, tuition is kept as low as possible. In addition, state and federal aid is provided by grants, loans, and scholarships. Many private companies have established scholarship funds at the local and state level. The Community College System Office audits the enrollment records of the colleges, and the State Auditor's office audits their financial records. North Carolina's fiscal year runs from July 1 to June 30. Unless otherwise specified, all funds not expended during that period revert to the general treasury and are available to the Legislature for reappropriation. NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION I— PAGE 11 THE NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGES FOUNDATION, INC. The Need The System relies primarily on state, local, and federal governmental units and tuition/ fees for both operating and capital investment funds. In the early years of the System's history, traditional funding sources were adequate. During the 1970s and 1980s, increased competition for state and local funds, inflation, the need to update programs and equipment, and demographic changes eroded the System's financial base of support. As the System matured, all 58 community colleges established private foundations ( 503)( c)( 3) for the purpose of raising funds from private sources to support a variety of activities and local projects. The Community College System also realized a need to attract support from large companies and corporations whose presence in North Carolina is pervasive and not related to any particular college. Thus, the NCCCF was established as an avenue to large donors who depend on the Community College System for many of their employees. It is important to note that the NCCCF is not a competitor with local institutional foundations. Rather it is a resource to be used in increasing local support. After several years of inactivity, the Foundation was reorganized in 1998 under the leadership of a Board of Directors recruited from the state's top business, govern-ment, and education leaders. The Foundation Purposes The North Carolina Community Colleges Foundation, Inc. was chartered on September 11, 1986 as a nonprofit charitable corporation and has a 501( c)( 3) designation by the Internal Revenue Service. A board of directors manages the foundation. The purposes of the foundation are to: • Support the mission of the Community College System and to foster and promote the growth, progress, and general welfare of the System. • Support programs, services, and activities of the Community College System which promote the mission of the System. • Support and promote excellence in administration and instruction throughout the System. NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION I— PAGE 12 • Foster quality in programs and encourage research to support long- range planning in the System. • Provide an alternative vehicle for contributions of funds to support programs, services, and activities that are not being funded adequately through traditional resources. • Broaden the base of the Community College System's support. • Lend support and prestige to fund- raising efforts of the institutions in the System. • Communicate to the public the System's mission and responsiveness to local needs. NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION I— PAGE 13 SERVICE AREA ASSIGNMENTS Philosophy Service areas were established in order to control the offering of courses by a community college in specific geographic areas. The assignments do not regulate or establish attendance areas. Citizens may enroll in any course at any college they choose. Purpose The purpose of service area assignments is to assign specific geographic areas for all colleges, thereby assigning the authority and responsibility for providing courses in a county other than the one in which the college is located. The assignments also include a coordination procedure, whereby a college may offer courses in another college's service area when there is mutual consent and written agreement ( Section 2C. 0100, North Carolina Administrative Code).

Wilson NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION I— PAGE 17 STATEWIDE PLAN On May 19, 2000, the State Board of Community Colleges adopted the North Carolina Community College System 2001– 2003 Strategic Plan. In addition to being used in the development of the 2001– 2003 biennial budget request, the plan sets the strategic direction for the System; communicates the mission, goals and objectives of the System; and enhances the System’s ability to achieve the commit-ment and support of major stakeholders. The System has adopted a two- year planning cycle, with continuous review and evaluation during the cycle. A System Planning Council, composed of State Board of Community College members, local college trustees, college presidents, deans and other college representatives and System Office staff, are responsible for the development of goals and objectives. The process involves input from major stake-holders across the state. The plan undergoes extensive review prior to being presented to the State Board for final adoption. A copy of the 2001– 2003 Strategic Plan can be found on the System Office web page at www. ncccs. cc. nc. us. College- Level Planning Each community college is responsible for developing an annual institutional effectiveness plan that complies with requirements established by the North Carolina General Assembly, the State Board of Community Colleges, and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools ( SACS). As part of the local planning process, colleges are expected to address goals and objectives in the System’s 2001– 2003 Strategic Plan, where appropriate. The System Office monitors college- level planning as part of the annual educational program audit process. More information on the institutional effectiveness plan guidelines can be found on the System Office web page at www. ncccs. cc. nc. us. Critical Success Factors The State Board of Community Colleges has adopted critical success factors to measure the performance of the System. The five factors were developed by the System Planning Council and include System and, where available, institutional level data. The five factors currently in use are: Core Indicators of Student Success; Workforce Development; Diverse Populations Learning Needs; Resources; and Technology. Data are being collected on 42 measures of progress toward success as indicated by the factors. An initial report, presenting five years of data, was presented to the State Board of Community Colleges and the General Assembly in April 1990. The current Critical Success Factors report can be found under Publications on the System Office web page at www. ncccs. cc. nc. us.

Programs are offered at the certificate, diploma and the associate of applied science degree levels. Certificate programs range from 12 to 18 semester hour credits and can usually be completed within one semester for a full- time student. Associate degree level courses within a certificate program may also be applied toward a diploma or an associate of applied science degree. Diploma programs range from 36 to 48 semester hour credits and can usually be completed within two semesters and one summer term for a full- time student. Associate degree level courses within a diploma program may also be applied toward an associate of applied science degree. Most curriculum programs lead to an associate of applied science degree. Associate of applied science degree programs range from 64 to 76 semester hour credits. A full- time student can typically complete one of these programs within two years. In addition to technical/ major course work, associate of applied science degree programs require a minimum of 15 semester hour credits of general education. General education requirements include course work in communi-cations, humanities/ fine arts, social/ behavioral sciences and natural sciences/ mathematics. New programs are established as a response to local and regional labor market needs and student demand. Each program is approved by the State Board of Community Colleges following a regular curriculum approval process for applications submitted by individual community col-leges. Curriculums are designed and developed by the applying college with input from employ-ers and advisory committee members. Many programs being offered are of regional interest and may be offered by only one or a small number of colleges within the System.

NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION II— PAGE 26 BASIC SKILLS The mission of the Basic Skills program is to assist adults to become literate and obtain the knowledge and skills necessary for employment and self- sufficiency, assist adults who are parents to obtain the educational skills necessary to become full partners in the educational development of their children, and assist adults in the completion of a secondary school education. The system provides educational oppor-tunities for adults to improve their reading, writing, mathematics, and communication skills through five major program components. Adult Basic Education ( ABE)— A program of instruction designed for adults who lack competence in reading, writing, speaking, problem solving, or computation at a level necessary to function in society, on a job or in the family. General Educational Development ( GED)— A program of instruction designed to prepare adult students to pass the GED tests that lead to a high school diploma equivalency. Adult High School ( AHS)— A program of instruction offered cooperatively with local public school systems to help adults earn an Adult High School Diploma. English Literacy/ English as a Second Language ( ESL)— A program of instruction designed to help adults who have limited English proficiency achieve competence in the English language. Compensatory Education ( CED)— A program to compensate adults with mental retardation who have not had an education or who have received an inadequate one. The program requires specialized diagno-sis and consists of a specially designed curriculum. The main emphasis of the Basic Skills program is helping all individuals gain the competencies and skills they need to function effectively in society; therefore, even students who have a high school diploma may enroll in Basic Skills. Students with a high school diploma are allowed to enroll in Adult Basic Educa-tion ( ABE) if their skills are below high school level. A limited number of adults who score at the high school level may also be served, especially in workplace or family literacy classes. HSG* ( High School Graduate) is the designation for students with a high school diploma who enroll in AHS or GED pro-grams. Students must be placed in these programs by a placement test.

NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION II— PAGE 27 CARL D. PERKINS VOCATIONAL AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION ACT OF 1998 The purpose of the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act is to make the United States more competitive in the world economy by developing more fully the academic, vocational and technical skills of students who enroll in vocational and technical education programs. This is achieved through concentrating resources on improving educational programs and services that lead to academic and occupational skill competencies needed to work in a technologically ad-vanced society. This Act provides federal resources to support programs and activities that strengthen student skills, promote integration of academic and vocational instruction, expand the use of technology, provide professional development, and increase opportunities for special populations students. Key elements of the Act: • Requires 85% of the available funds be allocated to local community colleges by a formula based upon the number of Pell Grant recipients in a college as a percentage of such recipients in the System. • Places major emphasis on providing strong academic and vocational competencies, integrating instruction, providing professional development, and expanding the use of technology in the classroom. • Maintains emphasis on providing services for students who are members of a special popula-tion ( persons with disabilities, economically disadvantaged persons, individuals preparing for non- traditional training and employment, single parents, displaced homemakers, and individuals with other barriers to educational achievement including individuals with limited English proficiency). • Provides greater accountability by requiring the measurement of student achievement against established core indicators of performance. • Maintains funding for Tech Prep through Title II of the Act. NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION II— PAGE 28 COMMUNITY SERVICE Community service programs are designed to provide courses, seminars and activities that ( 1) contribute to the community’s overall cultural, civic and intellectual growth; and ( 2) assist adults in the development of new personal or leisure skills or the upgrading of existing ones. Community Service Courses— Community Service courses consist of single courses, each complete in itself, that focus on an individual’s personal or leisure needs. Cultural and Civic Activities— The cultural and civic, and intellectual growth component of this program meets community needs through lecture and concert series, art shows, the use of college facilities by community groups, providing speakers to community organizations, and providing visiting artist activities for college communities. Visiting artists may be provided an opportunity to work as artists in residence to enhance local arts resources and promote the various visual, performing and literary arts in communities throughout North Carolina. Each college must address community service programs in the colleges’ institutional effective-ness plan which is submitted annually to the System Office. NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION II— PAGE 29 CORRECTIONAL EDUCATION Correctional education includes classes offered by the North Carolina Community College System ( NCCCS) to inmates in Department of Correction ( DOC) prisons, federal prisons and local jails. In 2000– 01, 47 community colleges offered instruction to students in a prison setting.

The plan addressed the specific legislative concerns of high inmate mobility and low student completion rates. The cornerstone of the CEP is the matrix classification system, a joint North Carolina Commu-nity College System/ Department of Correction initiative designed to increase student completion rates by ensuring that course and program lengths are appropriate for the inmate population at any given prison unit. Under the matrix system, the Department of Correction assigns each unit to one of five matrix categories which define educational programming options at the units. Local college and prison officials use a prison's matrix category to guide course planning. The State Board of Community Colleges and DOC officials use the matrix categories as the first criterion when considering course approvals for a correctional facility. NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION II— PAGE 30 Correctional education is defined as follows: Correctional education provided through the NCCCS shall be for the purpose of providing appropriate basic skills, occupational continuing education, and vocational, technical and post-secondary academic education that enables inmates to enhance and maintain their personal growth and development in order that they function effectively in prison and upon returning to the community. All courses and programs provided through the NCCCS shall be appropriate to these purposes and shall not be designed for population control, therapy, recreation, production processes of the enterprise operations of the correctional facility, or other purposes which may be legitimate objectives of DOC program efforts. NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION II— PAGE 31 DISTANCE LEARNING The North Carolina Community College System utilizes distance learning technologies, includ-ing telecourses, interactive video and Web- based courses, to provide students across the state with increased access to training and education. The chart below shows the growth in the use of these technologies. Advantages of Telecommunications Technologies These technologies enable community colleges to: • Share courses among themselves. • Increase college access to students. • Participate in interactive telemeetings, thereby saving on travel expenses. • Share expertise in order to improve productivity. • Cooperate in the use of facilities and equipment. • Realize savings through the “ wholesale” purchase of licenses for programs and services. • Offer computer- based courses that are not time- bound or place- bound.

This results in a savings of 50 to 65 percent compared to what the cost would be if each college purchased its own licenses. Interactive Video— The N. C. Integrated Information Network Still often called the N. C. Information Highway ( NCIH), the N. C. Integrated Information Network ( NCIIN), as of February 2002, provided two- way video and data connectivity for 40 community colleges and the System Office. The total number of sites was 48, because some colleges have more than one site on the same campus or a site at a satellite campus. Colleges are joining the network almost every month. The map on page 34 identifies the location of the community colleges that have NCIIN video sites in each county. Colleges that do not have NCIIN interactive video sites are connected by what is called the Anchor Net T- 1 that provides high- speed Internet data and the capability of running IP video. As of February 2001, five colleges plus the System Office have IP or ISDN video capability and seven others are in the planning stage. The Virtual Learning Community— Web- based Courses The North Carolina Community College System Virtual Learning Community is based on a collaborative model of colleges working jointly to provide quality instruction through Web- based technology. The Common Virtual Course Library ( CVCL) contains courses developed using a model that ensures both quality and flexibility while limiting course duplication. The CVCL consists of Internet- based courses that have been collaboratively developed by faculty from member colleges. The CVCL courses are based on a course template design model that includes competencies and content but allows flexibility in tailoring the courses to meet local needs. Any member college may access and adapt any CVCL course following the same policies that govern the Common Course Library course offerings The ITFS Project When completed, the ITFS network will provide broadband wireless connectivity to the Internet for 39 community colleges. This network will provide a means of delivering the courses of the Virtual Learning Community. It may also provide a revenue stream that could be used to develop more courses. Plans are being made to provide wireless connectivity for the remaining colleges utilizing other transmission modes. NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION II— PAGE 33 The National Guard Project The North Carolina National Guard ( NCNG) has a goal of having all of their personnel in the state, both military and civilian, within easy driving distance of a distance learning or telecom-munications classroom. Rather than placing these facilities in NCNG Armories, they have chosen to place them in community colleges where the facilities can be used by the community colleges and other local, state, and federal agencies. The NCNG pays for state of the art video and computer equipment, installation, and any needed room renovations. There are 10 such facilities in community colleges and more are planned. There will be a National Guard network over which most of their military training will be done by military personnel. Career enhance-ment training, for both military and civilian personnel of the NCNG, will be done over the state network ( NCIIN). As soon as security issues can be solved, the two networks can be intercon-nected. N. C. Distance Learning Alliance Conference In the summer of 2001, the Distance Learning Alliance Conference drew 458 people, down by 100 compared to the 2000 conference. We believe that virtually all of the decline was due to state budgeting constraints. The System Office’s Telecommunications section continues to provide the leadership in planning and implementation. The conference truly is a professional development activity that focuses on the utilization of all telecommunications or information technologies as a means of providing more and better services to more of the citizens of North Carolina. In addition to personnel from the N. C. Community College System, the conference now serves personnel from the Public School System, the University of North Carolina System, and state agencies. Production of Programming Teleconferences or telemeetings are produced and delivered to all 58 community colleges, either by the NCIIN or satellite. NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION II— PAGE 35 FIRE AND RESCUE TRAINING SERVICES In 2000– 01 the North Carolina Community College System provided training to 128,112 stu-dents who serve as both paid and volunteer fire fighters and members of rescue squads in the state. This training serves to improve the fire fighters' skills and education in areas such as basic firefighting and rescue to advanced management training. Service certification is provided in the areas of basic firefighting skills, public education, driver– operator, hazardous materials, arson investigation, rescue, fire officer, and instructional techniques. Several programs are now offered in specialty areas such as advanced rescue techniques, incident command, leadership and man-agement training. Training is delivered in local fire departments and community colleges. Classes are conducted during the day, evenings and on weekends to meet varying student needs. Over thirty regional training seminars were offered by various community colleges where classes are provided during a weekend for the accessibility of volunteer fire and rescue personnel. All training is provided without fees to members of local fire departments and rescue squads.

Since 1981 the Focused Industrial Training ( FIT) Program has responded to a wide variety of training needs with a very significant number of the state’s business or industrial firms. Traditionally, FIT projects and training programs have been primarily directed toward veteran workers in manufacturing industries who need to renew their skills and technical knowledge; training assistance has been jointly planned by a sponsoring college and the participating industry to assure that the activities are focused on the reality of the identified needs. During the fiscal year 2000- 01, the State Board of Community Colleges acted upon a special provision passed by the General Assembly that expanded eligibility for the FIT Program to include industries “ in-volved in the design and programming of computers and telecommunications systems.” There-fore, in addition to manufacturing companies that were previously eligible ( NAICS Codes 3111 through 3399) the action by the General Assembly and State Board made companies with the North American Industrial Classification codes 5112 and 5415 potentially eligible for some FIT program assistance. In fiscal year 2000– 01, the system had 37 FIT Centers and 3 consortiums that were awarded an annual allotment of funds averaging $ 78,143. Allotments ranging from $ 5,000 to $ 17,500 are also distributed to colleges that do not have a designated FIT Center, and the System Office maintains a limited “ balance- of- state” fund that may be considered and funds approved for unmet training needs when a college exhausts all allotted FIT funds. FIT Centers are staffed with a director who works directly with industry personnel to assess training needs and develop training programs tailored to those needs. The director conducts and analyzes surveys within companies, develops and administers pre- and post- training tests to evaluate skills, determines skill and knowledge content of jobs, organizes that content into a learning sequence, and then jointly plans training that cannot be addressed through other existing occupational programs. # OF FIT # OF TOTAL # TOTAL # OF YEAR CENTERS COMPANIES OF TRAINEES SKILLS CLASSES 1996– 97 36 711 8,943 965 1997– 98 36 576 8,939 887 1998– 99 38 666 14,256 1,153 1999– 00 39 705 12,186 1,196 2000– 01 40 630 13,404 1,519 NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION II— PAGE 37 HUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM The Human Resources Development ( HRD) program provides skill assessment services, em-ployability skills training, and career development counseling to unemployed and underemployed adults. Their courses address six core components as follows: • Assessment of an individual’s assets and limitations • Development of a positive self- concept • Development of employability skills • Development of communication skills • Development of problem- solving skills • Awareness of the impact on information technology in the workplace Following the completion of HRD training, graduates of the program are helped in their search for a job or enrollment in additional training. All program graduates continue to receive career and educational counseling and further placement help as needed for twelve months after gradua-tion. Performance indicators for the program are positive: Since 1975, the program enrolled 228,864 students. During 2000– 01, the program enrolled 24,386 students. Within the last five years, student enrollment has increased from 14,341 to 24,386. This is close to a 42 percent increase. Currently, 67 percent of all graduates are placed into jobs immediately upon completion of the program. The number increases to 90 percent by the end of the 12- month follow- up period. From 1974– 1999, graduates have increased their income by $ 201 million and reduced their public assistance benefits by $ 27 million. Most important, the program has been successful in responding to the needs of unemployed and underemployed adults in North Carolina. NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION II— PAGE 38 IN- PLANT TRAINING PROGRAM The In- Plant Training Program enables the colleges to assist manufacturing, service, and/ or governmental organizations with inservice training of their employees. This occupational exten-sion training includes involvement in five areas: industry, business, health, government and agriculture. Training occurs in the facilities or at the site in which an organization normally operates and at the employee's assigned work station. This method of delivering skills training works very well for companies where it is not feasible to duplicate the training environment in an institutional setting. Production industries continue to benefit most from in- plant training. On- the- job training contin-ues to be utilized in all sectors for training of new hires and in the retraining of veteran workers. In 1993 the rules and procedures governing in- plant training were substantially changed.

No one has more experience helping companies with these issues than the North Carolina Community College System ( NCCCS). North Carolina pioneered free, customized job training for new and expanding businesses in 1958, and continues to be one of the nation's most recognized state customized job training services. The NCCCS has been ranked the nation's number one worker training program and received the 1999 State Innovation Award for workforce development programs from the Educa-tion Commission of the States. With decades of experience, the community colleges have provided free customized training to literally thousands of new and expanding companies, meeting the widest possible variety of training needs. Services are made available to companies that create 12 or more new production-related jobs in any one community in North Carolina during a one- year period over and above their previous three- year maximum employment level. The extent of services provided is based on the number of new jobs created, their skill levels, and the level of total capital investment. Companies that are eligible for new and expanding industry programs include manufacturing and technology- based companies, national data processing operations, and customer service centers. Training services provided to these companies include instructors and training program develop-ment, video and other customized media programs, instructor travel costs and other training-related expenditures such as temporary training facilities, equipment, materials, and supplies. During the 2000– 01 program year, the North Carolina Community Colleges provided free cus-tomized training to 203 new and expanding companies in the state and trained 24,068 North Carolinians with the skills necessary for successful new employment.

Short- term occupational skill training courses are offered at each of the community colleges across the state to train, retrain and upgrade individu-als for current or future job skills. Workforce Training— Occupational skill training courses are designed for the specific purposes of training an individual for new employment opportunities, upgrading skills to meet new and changing job requirements and providing training which is necessary to meet certification, recertification or continuing education requirements. Customized Training— Courses are offered in all technical or vocational occupations and vary in length according to the complexity of the skill and the need of the employee or employer. Most occupational skill training courses are developed and taught on request from a group or an employer. Courses are designed to be offered at a time and place convenient to the employee and/ or employer.

They may be privately owned, a partnership or a corporation. Under Article 8 of the North Carolina General Statutes 115D, the State Board of Community Colleges is charged with the responsibility of licensing certain proprietary business, trade and correspondence schools in North Carolina. This responsibility was transferred from the State Board of Education by action of the General Assembly in 1987. The initial licensing process consists of four phases and may take from four to six months because of the investigations and reviews required. To be licensed, proprietary schools must pay an initial licensing fee of $ 750, a renewal fee of $ 500 each year thereafter and meet the general requirements for licensing including standards for program and course offerings, facilities, financial stability, personnel, and operat-ing practices. In addition to complying with licensure requirements, schools may obtain accreditation by national, professional and specialized accrediting bodies. Accreditation is a voluntary system of non- governmental self- regulation. Through the process of accreditation, institutions and the programs they offer are evalu-ated and recognized by the U. S. Secretary of Education as reliable authorities concerning the quality of postsecondary education or training offered by educational institutions or programs they accredit.

These centers provide a wide variety of seminars and workshops, one- on- one counseling, a library of resources, and referrals to other sources of help to owners and operators of small businesses. The mission of each SBC is to help the many small businesses within its service area survive, prosper, and contribute to the economic well- being of the community and the state. This service, supported exclusively with state funds, began with eight centers in 1984. Since then, it has grown gradually; the last five colleges joined the network in 1995. Today, each center receives an annual grant of approximately $ 66,000. Educational Opportunities— Seminars/ workshops and courses on the how- to of business opera-tions including business planning, management, finance, computers/ software, communications, taxes, behavioral needs, and specialty ( technical and targeted market) needs. The SBCN also offers the Export READY Program, which is designed to walk North Carolina companies through the export process, step- by- step, with real life examples and current detailed informa-tion. Plus, OSHA Regulations training; IRS Small Business Tax Workshops; Government Purchasing and Contracts; and a Business Start- up series taught in Spanish for the Hispanic population. Business Counseling— Small Business Centers provide free, confidential counseling for new and existing businesses. The counselor serves as a sounding board for ideas and concerns and will help find solutions to challenging business questions. Resource and Information Center— Printed and audiovisual materials; computer and software accessibility; Internet access; and teleconference capability.

In 1991, NCCATT became the 59th institution in the North Carolina Community College System. The Center specializes in curriculum and extension instruction designed for the textile industry and is the only school of its kind in North Carolina. Located in Belmont, the NCCATT campus sits in the middle of the largest concentration of textile manufacturing plants in the world. Un-like its community college counterparts, the Center’s service area is not restricted to a surround-ing county. The Center serves the entire state. Curriculum and continuing education students come from all over North Carolina, from other states and even foreign countries. The Center provides opportunities for North Carolina citizens and others to enroll in educational training programs either for occupational preparation or skills upgrading specific to the textile and related industries. Seminars and short courses are also taken off campus to manufacturing sites or other community colleges. The Center provides these opportunities through cooperative arrangements with other institutions and agencies in the state through curriculum programs, training, continuing education, technical assistance and business support. The Center's role in educating North Carolina's major industry is dynamic and ever- changing. Although 90 percent of the Center’s instruction is in continuing education, the Center has created innovative ways to provide a valuable curriculum for students pursuing degrees or diplomas. The Center currently has an ambitious textile tech- prep program in Gaston County designed to prepare high school graduates for direct entrance to the industry. This year's program attracted over 200 high school sophomores, juniors and seniors, who have received extensive hands- on training in the Center's yarn manufacturing, dyeing/ finishing and fabric formation laboratories. A portion of these tech- prep students also participated in an electrical tech- prep program taught on campus and at live site locations. NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION II— PAGE 46 CURRICULUM Certificate Program— Eleven programs designed to help students become well- edu-cated, highly- skilled, and productive employees in the textile industry. The programs will take approximately one year to complete. Textile Technology— A one- year series of courses leading to a diploma. This program is designed to train entry- level technicians. Textile Management— A two- year program for individuals seeking front- line supervi-sory responsibilities. Courses lead to an associate in applied science degree.

The purpose of WIA is to prepare youth, adults, and dislocated workers for employment or further education and training through core, intensive, and training services. The cornerstone of the new workforce investment system is “ One- Stop” service deliv-ery which unifies numerous training, education and employment programs into a single, cus-tomer- friendly system. The underlying notion of “ One- Stop” is the integration of programs, services and governance structures. This system in North Carolina is referred to as “ JobLink Career Centers.” Pathways to Employment Pathways to Employment is an integrated training model that supports the welfare reform effort by enhancing coordination of workforce training for Work First participants. Key elements of the model include offering integrated training in the areas of Human Resources Development, Basic Skills, and Occupational Extension.

The essen-tial elements of this process are outlined below: • One student who takes 16 hours of class work for one semester ( or 16 weeks) generates 256 hours. If this same student attends classes for one year, the student would generate 688 hours which is equivalent to one annual FTE. One fall or spring semester FTE = 16 hours x 16 weeks = 256 hours One summer term FTE = 16 hours x 11 weeks = 176 hours In order for a college to generate budget, approximately 18 FTEs must be generated before an instructional unit can be allocated. Each year the dollar amount for curriculum ( credit) and extension ( no- credit) changes depending on funds available. • The actual dollar amount paid to each college by the state for each FTE earned is determined by the amount of money appropriated by the General Assembly for this purpose. Therefore, it varies from year to year. It is also different for FTEs earned by students in curriculum ( degree or certificate) programs and continuing education or extension programs. ( If the Legislature fails to increase funding as enrollments increase, the institutions do not receive funds for the full number of FTE credits earned.) • FTE funds are to be used for current operating expenses such as instructional salaries, sup-plies and travel, administration, clerical and fiscal support, counselors, librarians, financial aid, placement and other personnel performing services for students. An average of 90– 92 percent of these funds is used for salaries. • The majority of funds ( 90%) is allocated to the colleges based on applicable FTE formulas. Current operating funds are allotted based on FTE generated in the curriculum programs for the preceding academic year ( fall, spring) or the latest three- year average whichever is greater. Continuing Education funds are based on FTE earned in the previous spring semes-ter, summer term, and fall semester or the latest three- year average whichever is greater. Continuing Education programs include Occupational Extension and Basic Skills Education. Funds for Community Service Programs are allotted as a block grant and can only be used for community service programs. Community Service Programs do not generate budget FTE. NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION III— PAGE 51 • Funds allotted for educational equipment and library books are based on a weighted FTE formula. The previous calendar year's actual FTE ( spring, summer, and fall) are used in determining the fund distribution. • Other State- Aid funds are distributed based on either project proposal or some modified FTE formulas. • FTE funds may NOT be used for utilities ( including telephone) or plant maintenance. These costs must be paid from local sources. • Recreational courses must be offered as self- supporting unless they are required as part of a particular curriculum.
