· Work Experience Education Regulations Revisions/Work Experience Plan
The draft Work Experience Education (WEE) Plan will be brought to the committee for review in October, with the goal of finalizing by December.
Devin shared the Allied Health Advisory Committee will meet in October to discuss Medical Assisting, Clinical Lab Assistant, Emergency Medical Responder, Phlebotomy, Nursing, and other program/potential program updates. Medical Assisting has been approved with a goal start date of fall, 2025. Paramedics has been approved with a goal start date of spring, 2026, and a director/professional expert will be hired. Steady progress is still being made on the registered nursing program, BRN application, and associated requirements. The job description to hire a nursing director is being reviewed by HR, and construction is on track for the nursing lab.
Speech Pathology was also discussed, and Devin has met with Joy Reynolds to gather information, and has also contact KCSOS, which is in support of a program. The goal is to offer a certificate and associate degree program. Darcy will follow up with Vicki Jacobi and Adam Bledsoe for an update on ASL I and II offerings.
Kelly shared that although we were not a successful candidate for the DSS-Independent Facilitator Certification grant, there could be interest in working on a non-credit track in English and Spanish to support this field of work. There is a large disparity (racial, ethnic) and need, and researching how to improve pay to make this work more sustainable is warranted. Taft College could be able to provide educational support in this area, and the workforce says it is needed. A master plan will come out in March, and based upon that, Taft College may be able to offer non-credit classes by January, 2026 to support the plan.
