Narrative
As with most of the state, enrollment at West End Corridor Consortium (WECC) member institutions dropped in response to COVID pandemic-related policies, and social and economic conditions. Programs that did not lend themselves to quick or effective virtual formats suffered the most, including many CTE offerings. However, enrollment increases are materializing as the pandemic wanes and health and safety mandates are relaxed. While severely affected, San Bernardino County workforce officials also report that the Inland Empire is in a unique position to recover economically more rapidly than other regions in the state. The current WECC Three-Year Plan and Annual Plan describe the Consortium goals of serving our high-need populations, primarily ELL and Low Literacy adults, with essential programs such as ESL, ABE, and ASE. The Plans also describe steps the Consortium membership are taking to provide workforce training that is high-quality, affordable, short-term, and in-demand. Collaboration programs that facilitate dual enrollment and transitions, such as the Chaffey College Adult Education Partnership, have continued to function and are even showing growth. Outreach efforts in the current year include a broadcast marketing campaign that will be re-evaluated annually. The WECC website was recently rebuilt and greatly improved, and the members have approved funds to strengthen their social media presence. WestEd has been working with the Consortium to gather data via public sources, student surveys, and faculty and student focus groups, that will be used to drive the 2022-25 Three-Year Plan. Allocations for all members, notably Fontana Adult School, are now more in line with local demographics and demonstrated need. The consortium-wide account will continue to be held by the fiscal agent (CJUHSD) and is earmarked for expenses that benefit all members, such as the Program Coordinator, professional development activities, contractors such as WestEd and Spectrum Reach, student data systems and enhancements (ASAP,) and career assessment software (Career Cruising.) Members may also make requests for one-time allocations from this fund for special needs or pilot projects in accordance with the Three-Year Plan. Large capital projects on the horizon include a new CTE facility at Chino Valley Adult School that will house a construction trades program in conjunction with Chaffey College. Upland Adult School is also looking into expanding its CTE offerings in partnership with the College. Chaffey and Fontana Adult Schools are working on less extensive improvements to their CTE programs. In some cases, this may necessitate carryover of a larger percentage of funds into the next program year than is recommended in the state guidelines. These projects fall squarely within Consortium plans and goals and are based on data indicating regional need.
