This book was released on 2017-06-04 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Skilled technical occupationsâ€"defined as occupations that require a high level of knowledge in a technical domain but do not require a bachelor's degree for entryâ€"are a key component of the U.S. economy. In response to globalization and advances in science and technology, American firms are demanding workers with greater proficiency in literacy and numeracy, as well as strong interpersonal, technical, and problem-solving skills. However, employer surveys and industry and government reports have raised concerns that the nation may not have an adequate supply of skilled technical workers to achieve its competitiveness and economic growth objectives. In response to the broader need for policy information and advice, Building America's Skilled Technical Workforce examines the coverage, effectiveness, flexibility, and coordination of the policies and various programs that prepare Americans for skilled technical jobs. This report provides action-oriented recommendations for improving the American system of technical education, training, and certification.

Book excerpt: As lifelong learning and workforce education grow increasingly more important in American life, the mission of community colleges is shifting more and more toward continuing education, certificate training, and workforce training. The lack of a standard set of indicators has led to a variety of approaches to the assessment of noncredit workforce education programs (NWEP) at community colleges. Absent a common and accepted set of quality indicators for NWEP and an accreditation process and authority to measure noncredit course quality and program-level outcomes, it is difficult for education consumers, educators, and businesses to compare program quality among community colleges or to benchmark programs for continuous improvement efforts. This study aims to help develop standardized metrics to evaluate, improve, and communicate outcomes for those taking NWEP courses. This study used a qualitative research design employing an online survey with 50 total workforce education practitioners who participated, and semi-structured follow-up interviews with a subsample of nine subjects to examine challenges experienced by two-year colleges in evaluating NWEP program effectiveness. Respondents reported that faculty adoption of assessment in NWEP was unchanged compared to the preceding five-year period. Findings showed the three most common methods of NWEP assessment were course evaluations, licensure exam results, and noncredit enrollment count. Findings were inconclusive about the rate of transition from noncredit to credit-based programs.

Download or read book Availability of Data on Noncredit Education and Postsecondary Certifications written by Andrea R. Sykes and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Federal policymakers have interest in three specific areas of postsecondary career and technical education (CTE): associate degrees and certificates awarded in CTE, skills and training obtained through noncredit courses, and industry-recognized certifications. Research and data are readily available on students earning degrees and certificates in CTE and entering the workforce; however, little research exists on CTE students enrolled in noncredit courses at public colleges and universities or earning industry-recognized certifications. To better understand what data might be available to answer key policy questions on students' access to and outcomes following participation in noncredit CTE programs, this study reviewed data systems in 29 states. Each state's data system was reviewed to identify (1) data elements for noncredit education, (2) ways that states track outcomes for noncredit students, (3) whether noncredit data elements are incorporated into state longitudinal databases, and (4) the availability of certification data. The report concludes that data collections on students who enroll in noncredit education at public colleges and universities are still in the nascent stages. Most states that collect data on noncredit instructional activity do so in a limited manner, allowing only for headcounts of students and, for several states, a more detailed description of the characteristics of these students. However, comparing student enrollment across states is problematic because each state collects data differently and defines noncredit workforce education in a different way, making it challenging to draw conclusions about the extent to which students are enrolled in noncredit workforce education nationwide. Understanding the prevalence of earning industry-recognized credentials is also stymied by a lack of access to data. Recent federal efforts to collect data on certifications held by the adult population will provide important insights into the extent to which adults have these credentials. Having data on the number of adults who have earned certifications and what type of certifications they earned will be an important step in better understanding this pathway to career education. The following are appended: (1) Methodology; (2) Noncredit Data Elements by State; and (3) Comparison of Noncredit and Credit-Based Enrollment in Selected States. A bibliography is included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically, community colleges have served societal and functional missions that expanded over time, with the result of trying to achieve multiple goals for multiple audiences. This volume explores the forces currently shaping community college missions and the resulting tension between stated goals, assumed goals, and achievement of those goals. In an era of increasing accountability, tighter coupling, and the need to do ever more with fewer resources, mission focus is vital to college survival. Explore such issues as: the unspoken social contract, transfer, developmental education, noncredit education, dual enrollment, workforce development, the free college movement, and planning for the future. The topics are explored thoughtfully from both scholarly and practical perspectives, highlighting the forces that shape community college missions. This is the 180th volume of this Jossey-Bass quarterly report series. Essential to the professional libraries of presidents, vice presidents, deans, and other leaders in today's open-door institutions, New Directions for Community Colleges provides expert guidance in meeting the challenges of their distinctive and expanding educational mission.

This book was released on 2021-04-02 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community colleges are essential in preparing the 21st century workforce. Research has indicated that there is a shortage of individuals prepared for skilled workforce opportunities, such as plumbers, electricians, and many others. In fact, while college is essential in workforce development, it is not the only route that can lead to a successful livelihood. Developing a skill that transfers into an essential trade is a route less taken. Community colleges are ideally situated to respond to the shortage of a prepared workforce by providing an array of programs that reach a wide range of individuals with talents that may not include a college degree. Community Colleges and Workforce Preparation in the 21st Century: Emerging Research and Opportunities is a comprehensive reference source that covers the essential role of community colleges in developing a skilled workforce via varying educational opportunities that include degree completion, workforce development, and skill enhancement. Readers will benefit from the book’s ability to advocate for the need for individuals with skillful trade options, provide different areas to consider as trade options, discuss the role of community colleges in preparing a workforce, examine the challenges that can arise for individuals with a trade, and present a global outlook on the workforce of the 21st century. Covering topics that include career pathways and STEM programs, the book is especially valuable for academic institutions that are looking to provide options for talent expansion. Leadership and education scholars, leadership practitioners within community college and university settings, leaders within workforce development sectors, researchers, and students will also find this reference useful for developing a skilled and competent workforce.

Download or read book Mathematics for Machine Learning written by Marc Peter Deisenroth and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-23 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fundamental mathematical tools needed to understand machine learning include linear algebra, analytic geometry, matrix decompositions, vector calculus, optimization, probability and statistics. These topics are traditionally taught in disparate courses, making it hard for data science or computer science students, or professionals, to efficiently learn the mathematics. This self-contained textbook bridges the gap between mathematical and machine learning texts, introducing the mathematical concepts with a minimum of prerequisites. It uses these concepts to derive four central machine learning methods: linear regression, principal component analysis, Gaussian mixture models and support vector machines. For students and others with a mathematical background, these derivations provide a starting point to machine learning texts. For those learning the mathematics for the first time, the methods help build intuition and practical experience with applying mathematical concepts. Every chapter includes worked examples and exercises to test understanding. Programming tutorials are offered on the book's web site.
