V.
Identify the industry sector(s) and targeted occupation(s) and how this project will address each: (Must meet the strategies identified in the regional council’s strategic plan): Priority Industry Sector: (1) Aerospace and Defense and (2) Manufacturing Targeted Occupations: (1) Transportation, Distribution, and Logistics; (2) Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics; and (3) Manufacturing. Strategies: develop relationships regionally and county specific between business and industry, education, K-12, secondary, adult education, continuing education, non profits, economic development groups, government, and community leaders. To provide a workforce that is confident, capable, and competitive, the Workforce Development Council in Region 2 indicated goals such as providing a workforce that is confident, capable, credentialed, and competitive and strategies such as developing relationships regionally and county specific between business and industry, education, K-12, secondary, adult education, continuing education, non profits, economic development groups, government, and community leaders. This project directly addresses the goals, mission, and vision of the Region 2 Workforce Development identified in the FY13 strategic plan by providing the funding required to continue training in the Aerospace and Defense and Manufacturing Target Industries. This project directly addresses critical success factors of providing a good educational system with adequate funding for training in the Aerospace and Defense and Manufacturing Target Industry and Top 10 Occupations of Transportation, Distribution, and Logistics; Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics; and Manufacturing. This project is part of an overall workforce development plan and there is collaboration with regional and community service providers and stakeholders. The proposed activities will effectively support the Region 2 Strategic Plan as well as the workforce development goal of addressing current and future skill needs in the high-demand, high wage occupation of Aviation Maintenance—Airframe, CIP Code 470607, by increasing the number of high school students entering these programs in a dually-enrolled capacity. This will, in turn, result in an increase in the number of technicians provided to the aviation industry. Activities will target prospective secondary students, parents, teachers, and counselors in the Region 2 area.
Specifically, the AAC at Albertville and AAC at Decatur will continue aviation dual enrollment course offerings. Courses within the 470607 CIP Code will be offered. In the Fall Semester 2013, AMT 100 Technical Preparation at the Marshall County Career and Technical Center, AAC at Decatur site and Madison County Career and Technical Center will be offered. In the Spring
Semester 2014, AMT 102 Materials and Processes will be taught at the Marshall County Career and Technical Center, AAC at Decatur site, and Madison County Career and Technical Center. Continuation of AMT courses will ensure that educational opportunities for secondary students in priority industry sectors and targeted occupations are offered within Region 2 resulting in increasing numbers of skilled aviation maintenance technicians being provided to the aviation industry. VI.
Target population(s) to be addressed by proposed activities: Dual enrollment students from Marshall County School System, Dekalb County School System, Etowah County School System, Albertville City School System, Boaz City School System, Guntersville City School System, Huntsville Technical Center, and Madison County School System.
VII.
Proposed activities: (Summarize how this project addresses specific and immediate training needs in the service provider’s area, documented demand data, hiring and expansion announcements, etc., if applicable): Alabama Aviation Center, a unit of Enterprise State Community College, is capable and willing to carry out planned activities with maximum efficiency and effectiveness.
The aviation and aerospace industry has a significantly positive impact on Alabama’s economy. Specifically, the location of major aviation and aerospace facilities in Region 2 results in accelerated growth in the industry and is a contributing factor in making aviation one of the fastest growing industries in Alabama. Over 1350 jobs have been created and over $54 million dollars have been invested in Region 2 by aviation and aerospace companies since 2009 according to the Alabama Aerospace Industry Profile provided by the Economic Development Partnership of Alabama (2012). However, the gap between the available workforce and the number of open jobs is expected to dramatically increase as the existing aviation and aerospace industry continues to significantly add to the number of jobs created across the state. The Alabama Department of Industrial Relations (2012) projects that an additional 1,130 aviation maintenance and related technicians will be needed by 2020. With the median average earning for Aircraft Maintenance and Service Technicians reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (2011) as $51,396.80 per year, graduates are supporting the local economy and the Region 2 Strategic Plan while addressing the goals of Alabama’s Workforce Development System. First opening in north Alabama in the spring semester of 2009, the AAC at Albertville is crucial to increasing enrollment in aviation programs to meet the growing needs of the high-demand, highwage aviation industry. An additional site, the AAC at Decatur, was added in Region 2 in the fall semester of 2012 to increase the number of qualified workers entering aviation programs. The proposed activities, indicated in the Project Activities Table below, will effectively address the stated need of increasing the number of high school students entering aviation programs by offering additional courses at existing sites and expanding this critical program to additional sites within Region 2. This will, in turn, increase the number of technicians provided to the highgrowth, high-demand aviation industry. Activities will target prospective secondary students, parents, teachers, and counselors.
The proposed activities are practical and will effectively address stated needs. Students will gain skills, knowledge, and abilities in Aviation General Subjects (Responsibility: Center Director; Dean of Instruction). The Instructional Program Prefix is AMT and CIP Code for AMT course is 470607.
