Strategy 5.0: Maximize the use of public facilities for training.
This strategy can be implemented by:
5.1 Inventorying the public facilities and equipment that are available and disseminating the inventory to training providers, industry and the general public.
a) Prepare and conduct a survey to public schools, postsecondary institutions, RTCs, local, state, regional or federal
governmental agencies and other public entities.
b) Collate the survey results and prepare an inventory database.
c) Publicize the inventory via the Internet.
5.2 Establishing a list of basic facility and equipment standards for priority CTE programs.
a) Identify CTE program certified training facility/equipment requirements in Alaska.
b) Investigate facility/equipment standards from other states and provinces.
c) Engage industry and stakeholders to develop Alaskan standards for CTE program facilities and equipment when
other standards do not exist.
d) Publish the standards on website.
5.3 Identifying resources needed to bring public facilities and equipment for statewide priority programs up to standards.
a) Review survey of all statewide facilities.
b) Evaluate all facilities using the standards to determine needs and safety concerns of each facility.
c) Assess cost to upgrade identified facilities to meet standards.
5.4 Developing public policies and incentives that maximize and promote partnerships for the use of public facilities for training throughout the year.
a) Provide technical assistance and successful models to school districts, training institutions and industry leaders for
effective partnering of facilities for student access.
b) Identify barriers to the joint use of facilities such as liability and teacher credentialing issues and develop
standardized procedures for dealing with these barriers.
c) Advocate after-school and year-round use of facilities for both students and adults.
d) Promote partnership incentives for facility use.
5.5 Establishing capital funding strategies to renovate CTE facilities.
a) Use EED capital improvement projects model and AWIB priorities to prioritize needs of all CTE facilities.
b) Investigate and develop funding strategies, mechanisms, and sources to upgrade facilities.
