Narrative
Member agencies of the West End Corridor Consortium are dedicated to providing high-quality and in-demand programs in basic skills, English literacy, and workforce training, as described in the 2022-25 Three-Year Plan. The Inland Empire region is rebounding from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and enrollment is returning to pre-pandemic levels. Schools have added programs, adjusted schedules, and implemented online platforms in order to meet the needs of a diverse group of students and the evolving Inland Empire labor market. In the WECC 2022-23 Annual Plan, Regional Needs are identified as follows: CTE programs. Programs that prepare students for the workforce should reflect the needs and trends in the region. Members are constantly evaluating their offerings based on student demand and labor market projections. Extra funds have been allocated to finance CTE infrastructure projects at Chino Valley and Fontana Adult Schools, while Chaffey and Upland continue to upgrade their facilities. The Adult Schools are working with Chaffey College to leverage resources by offering co-located CTE classes. Community Awareness. Members are turning to social media and other means of attracting and informing their communities of opportunities in adult education. The Consortium has dedicated funds to print and broadcast marketing, and will continue to explore effective methods of reaching potential students. Digital literacy skills. All members have dedicated funds to offering enhanced digital platforms to students across programs. They have invested in improved hardware, software, and staff training. Electronic devices, such as laptops and tablets, may be made available to students who demonstrate need. Orientation programs have been designed to incorporate mastery of basic digital skills and ongoing support for students is provided. Integrated/Accelerated/Dual Enrollment programs. Most of Chaffey College's CAEP funding goes to supporting dual enrollment and co-located programs. There is now a dedicated adult education coordinator at the college, and extra funds have been authorized to increase counseling hours at the adult schools. All members recognize the importance of facilitating dual enrollment in adult school programs, (such as ESL or ASE with CTE,) supporting the Chaffey College Partnership Program, and providing IET programs, viable career pathways, and student support systems and resources,. Basic skills, secondary credentials, and English literacy. Low-literacy students are the focus of the Three-Year Plan, as these students constitute the largest barrier and are prominent in most of the adult education programs. Most CAEP funding is dedicated to supporting robust ESL and ABE/ASE programs. In the current program year, extra funds were approved for all members to support the professional development needs of their staffs as related to working effectively with these populations. WECC maintains a consortium-wide account, held by the fiscal agent (CJUHSD.) This account will continue to be used for expenses that benefit all members, such as contractors, software, marketing, and professional development. In addition, members may make requests for extra one-time funding to support pilot projects or special needs in accordance with the goals of the Annual and Three-Year Plans.
Changes
CJUHSD will continue to act as the fiscal agent for the Consortium. In place of Todd Haag, who will retire this year, Dr. George Matamala (incoming principal) will take over the role of Fiscal Manager. The Executive Committee continues to make efforts to adjust funding to support the needs of member communities. To this end, the group has voted to increase the percentage allocated to Fontana and Chino Valley equally. This was achieved by reducing the precentage allocated to the consortium-wide fund and Chaffey Adult School. Chaffey Adult School will reserve the right to request one-time funds from the consortium-wide account as needed.
