Program Development and Assessment

 

Just a few years ago, it seemed like you couldn't miss with IT (information technology). Almost any class, almost any curriculum, almost any skill would get students hired, often after only a few months of coursework or a base level certification. Technology seemed to be promising high - wage jobs to persons with a dose of training and little or no formal education. Newspapers carried stories of high school students out - earning their teachers by factors of four to one, working a few hours at home on websites.

Things have changed. And they're changing all around us now ... faster than ever.

  • Are your current technical programs competitive?
  • Will they satisfy current and future workforce requirements?
  • What support will your insititution need to develop future technical programs and maintain current ones?
  • What kind of technical programs should you be offering in the future?
  • Are your faculty, your facilities, your infrastructure ready?
  • Are your incoming students prepared?

The answers to these questions are crucial to your institution's success and its standing in the community and its future viability. We help by applying our extensive knowledge and research into national and global economic trends and technology education practices to your locale and institution. We can also do localized market research including a competitive analysis and review of current and future employer needs and industry trends. We can supply this information at different levels of depth and detail, from a "finger in the wind" (12 - 15 page summary) to an extensive data - driven forecast and report (90 - 120 pages), depending on your timeframe, need, and budget.

With public resources scarce, you need to "get it right" the first time. That's where TSI comes in. Contact us.
