1. Report from Community Education Director

   Terry Newman reviewed the Contract and Community Education Annual Report, July 1, 2009 – June 30, 2010. Discussion included the following:

   • Enrollments for Community Education were initially low, though they improved by the end of the fiscal year. The development and enrollments of the Water Training programs have been a success. Workforce Investment Board referred clients to our class offerings, particularly the Pharmacy Technician and Water Training.
   • Current economic factors are influencing the enrollments for College for Youth. We continue to investigate different scheduling patterns new classes.
   • Online classes enrollments were low, and Ed2go, our online provider raised their prices. In the spring semester, we started offering UGotClass, a new online program, and it has been well received. We expect online class enrollments to increase as the economy improves.
   • Corporate training has been down this year, though we continue contracting with Workforce Institute, Gilroy One-Stop Center, Service Employees Union International, and Interactive Solutions. We completed the second year of the Industry Driven Regional Collaborative grant, and received a subcontract from San Jose City College to provide Organic Gardening.
   • The motorcycle safety training program enrollments were down due to the current economic situation, and the Monterey military base opened their own motorcycle training facility.
   • We will continue to provide a printed schedule, which is our most important marketing method.
   • We will continue to search for off-site facilities for class offerings. Classes offered at our off-sites have been cancelled due to low enrollments, and coordination continues to be a challenge due to our instructors not having keys or access keys to the sites.

The report will be presented at the October 12, 2010 Board of Trustees meeting.
