the college’s service area of Buncombe and Madison counties. All colleges were notified of the
planning process for this program.
The proposed program was approved by the Board of Trustees at Asheville-Buncombe Technical
Community College on April 14, 2014. Minutes from this Board meeting were attached to the
program application. The President and the Board of Trustees of Asheville-Buncombe Technical
Community College have certified the following:

The proposed program will enhance the workforce of North Carolina, will provide
educational and training opportunities consistent with the mission of the college, and will
not duplicate the opportunities currently offered.

They have assessed the need for the proposed program and the resources required to
maintain a viable program and certify that the college can operate the proposed program
efficiently and effectively within the resources available to the college.

The college will complete a program accountability report including student success
measures, enrollment trends, completion rates, and employment data three years after

Program Rationale
Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College (A-B Tech) indicates the following:

A-B Tech currently has a strong Surgical Technology program. Since 2009, almost one
hundred percent of the graduates have passed the certification exam. The addition of the
Central Sterile Processing program will enhance the services the college provides the
community related to this profession.

According to Economic Modeling Specialists International (EMSI), for Buncombe and
Madison counties, jobs in the field of Medical Equipment Prepares are predicted to rise
by twenty percent from 2014 to 2023. The median earnings for individuals in this field is
$14.05 per hour.

The Mission Hospital Healthcare System and the Charles George Veterans
Administration Medical Center have both requested the college offer this program.
Mission Hospital in Buncombe County employs fifty-six staff in this role and the VA
Hospital employs twenty-two staff. Personnel in these departments have received on-thejob-training and are not formally educated in the care and handling, disinfection,
assembly, inspection, or sterilization of surgical instrumentation. The college will train
current and prospective employees.

on November 21, 2013. Minutes from this Board meeting were attached to the program
application. The President and the Board of Trustees of Brunswick Community College have
certified the following:



II.
Program Rationale
Brunswick Community College (BCC) indicates the following:

BCC has offered Aquaculture for the past twenty years, and offered Biotechnology for
the past seven years. Marine Biotechnology is a program BCC can offer with existing
infrastructure and the incorporation of additional equipment that will enhance all three
programs.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a ten percent increase in the number of jobs for
biological technicians to 88,300 by 2020. Continued growth in biotechnology and
medical research is expected to increase the demand for these workers. The annual
average salary is $39,750 or $19.11 per hour. (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2014)

BCC has a strong partner relationship with UNC Wilmington’s marine biotechnology
professors that work with them thorough out the year. This partnership provides student
access to equipment not present on BCC’s campus, while giving them additional
exposure to procedures and instrumentation used within the industry.

BCC’s Biotechnology program has developed strong partnerships with several small
biotech companies located within Brunswick County such as; Cygnus Technologies,
Glycotech, and Carolina Algae. These three companies has shown a great interest in the
development of the Marine Biotechnology program.
SBCC

Attachment PROG 15B

BCC has developed partnerships with UNC Wilmington Center for Marine Science (now
Crest Research Park) and UNC Pembroke Sartorius-Stedim Biotechnology Laboratory.
This partnership has been strengthened thorough joint grant projects, technology transfer,
training opportunities for faculty and students.

Historically, the biotechnology industry has needed intellectual talent at the master’s
degree and doctoral levels, but the growth of the industry has caused a shift in the types
of workers needed to fill critical skill gaps. (www.biotechinstitute.org)

Sixty-seven percent of biotech jobs only require a two year degree. (NCBC Career
Pathways publication, 2006)

The Executive Director for the Brunswick County Economic Development Commission,
provided a letter of support and stated that the proposed program will train a work force
that will potentially fill a gap and need in the county and Wilmington region as the
marine biotechnology industry emerges in southeastern North Carolina. Brunswick
County and the region has the basis to become a strong marine biotechnology hub and
the proposed program would be an asset to attract potential businesses to Brunswick
County.

The President/CEO for Marine Bio-Technologies Center of Innovation provided a letter
of support and stated that the proposed program is critical to providing a skilled
workforce enabling the translation of research into products and services, thereby
stimulating economic development. North Carolina’s rich Atlantic coast provides many
opportunities to develop marine biotechnology applications that translate to new food,
fuel and health products that may benefit society, the environment, industry and
agriculture.

The Executive Director for the NC Biotechnology Center, Southeastern Office, provided
a letter of support and stated that the proposed program fits well as the next step for
workforce development to support the work that the NC Biotech Center Southeastern
Office and partners have undertaken to build the marine biotechnology cluster in North
Carolina.

The President for Cygnus Technologies, provided a letter of support and stated in the past
Cygnus has offered internships for two community college students matriculated in the
BCC Biotechnology program and would most certainly consider intern and job
applicants coming out of this new Marine program.
At this time, no community colleges are approved to offer the Marine Biotechnology program.


Members of the CCC&TI Watauga Advisory Committee and the CCC&TI Business
Programs Advisory Committee requested that the college consider training students for
employment in the local tourism industry.
The Hospitality Management program would support the strategic focus of the Caldwell
Chamber of Commerce to promote tourism assets in the county. The Chamber believes
that tourism is an important part of the economy and economic development in Caldwell
County (http:/thechambermatters.com).
The Watauga County Economic Development Commission echoes the need for programs
that support tourism in the area. (www.wataugaedc.org).
In 2012, more than 330 jobs in Caldwell County were directly attributable to travel and
tourism. Travel generated a 6.72 million payroll in Caldwell County in 2012
(NC Department of Commerce).
In 2012, more than 2,490 jobs in Watauga County were directly attributable to travel and
tourism. Travel generated a $44.71 million payroll in Watauga County in 2012
(NC Department of Commerce).

Area travel and tourism attractions in Caldwell and Watauga Counties include: Broyhill
Civic Center, For Defiance in Lenoir, the Pisgah National Forest, the Tuttle Educational
Forest, attractions on the Blue Ridge Parkway – Horn in the West outdoor drama,
Hickory Ridge Homestead, Mast General Store, Beech Mountain Resort, Mystery Hill,
museums devoted to Appalachian culture and heritage, Blowing Rock, Tweetsie
Railroad, and Appalachian Ski Mountain.
The annual salary level for management occupations in the tourism industry ranges from
approximately $30,000 to $65,000 (Occupational Employment Statistics Handbook, U.S.
Department of Labor).
The General Manager Blowing Rock Country Club indicated this program will alleviate
issues associated with specific training and selection processes vital for successful
operations.
The Human Resource Manager at Chetola Resort stated the training that graduates of the
Hospitality Management Program receive will yield a qualified candidate pool.
The General Manager for The Courtyard by Marriott stated the tourism industry in our
area is a ‘job-ready field’ with tremendous opportunities for those graduates seeking
successful careers in hospitality management.
The Public Relations Manager at Tweetsie Railroad indicated implementing the
Hospitality Management Program will tremendously assist with recruiting efforts as
demand for our services continues to grow.
Local employers indicated need in basically four areas: customer service (front office,
sales, reservations, etc.); food and beverage (including event planning and conferencing);
maintenance and landscaping; and housekeeping. Employers indicated that graduates
who have a genuine interest in pursuing careers in the tourism industry can secure
management trainee positions within two-three years of service. Most employers crosstrain new hires and interns within the three main areas of customer service, food and
beverage, and housekeeping. (Employer interviews conducted by CCC&TI).
Eleven community colleges are approved to offer the Hospitality Management program. None
of these are located in a contiguous county, therefore an impact assessment was not required.

II.
Program Rationale
Cape Fear Community College (CFCC) indicates the following:

CFCC currently offers Emergency Medical Science (EMS) through their continuing
education program. The current EMS program assists in training personnel for New
Hanover Regional EMS (NHREMS) and Pender EMS and Fire (PEMS), Ogden-New
Hanover Volunteer EMS, Union Rescue Squad, and First Med Carolinas, as well as most
fire department personnel in New Hanover and Pender counties.

The annual emergency medical services responses/trips for New Hanover and Pender
counties are 66,279.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), nationally the employment of EMTs
and paramedics is projected to grow twenty-three percent from 2012 to 2022, a growth
rate that is much faster than the average for all occupations.

The BLS projects the employment growth of EMTs and paramedics in NC (2010-2020)
at thirty-one percent. This higher growth rate is impacted by the influx of people to the
state and the increased life expectancy (with corresponding medical care) of the baby
boomer generation.
SBCC
07/18/2014

Employers have expressed an increased need for paramedics with the implementation of
the Affordable Care Act. NHREMS is implementing a Community Paramedic program
to assist in maintaining and improving the public health. These Paramedics will be
expected to possess an above average knowledge of care and the health system as they
function as intermediary care providers in addition to traditional EMS practice.

EMS representatives expressed a strong need for the Associate Degree in EMS.
Currently, both NHREMS and PEMS offer percentage increases to starting salaries for
holding a degree. In addition, NHREMS is in the process of implementing a new rank
structure. In order for personnel to progress within the system a degree will be required.

NHRMC and Cape Fear Hospital currently utilize ten full-time paramedics as primary
care givers in the emergency department.

Letters of support for the program were submitted to CFCC by New Hanover Regional
Medical Center EMS and Pender EMS & Fire, INC.

Since CFCC currently operates an EMS program thorough continuing education the plan
is to share classroom/lab space and equipment. There will be an annual cost to maintain,
upgrade or replace equipment and maintain adequate supplies. Over the past three years,
this cost has averaged $48,000.

Program Rationale
Southwestern Community College (SCC) indicates the following:

SCC currently offers the Radiography program. Radiography graduates have
traditionally received on-the-job-training (OTJ) to become CT and MRI technicians. Due
to restrictions in work time, most health care facilities served by SCC are no longer
providing adequate opportunities for OTJ for either modality. All facilities will
discontinue OTJ for CT and MRI by January 2016. In 2016, the American Registry of
Radiologic Technologists will require sixteen hours of structured education in CT and/or
MRI for students to sit for the registry exam.

The SCC CT/MRI advisory committee composed of local medical facility employers
noted they give hiring preference to radiography technicians that have received cross
training in either MRI, CT or both as a cost saving measure.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics ranks the job outlook for Radiologic (including
certified Computed Tomographers) and MRI Technologists as having faster than average
growth through 2022. MRI Technologists occupations are forecasted to have twenty-four
percent growth during that period with Radiologic Technologist having a twenty-one
percent growth rate.
SBCC
07/18/2014

The CT & MRI program will share instructional and lab space with the Radiography
program. The program can operate with part-time faculty until class enrollment would
support a full-time position.
Four community colleges are approved to offer the Computed Tomography & Magnetic
Resonance Imaging Technology. An impact assessment was sent to each college. No negative
impact responses were received.

Program Planning
Southwestern Community College (SCC) is seeking approval for the Mechatronics Engineering Technology
(A40350) program to begin Fall 2014. The planning area is defined as the college’s service area of Jackson,
Macon, and Swain counties. All colleges were notified of the planning process for this program.
The proposed program was approved by the Board of Trustees at SCC on April 17, 2013. Minutes from this
Board meeting were attached to the program application. The President and the Board of Trustees of SCC

The proposed program will enhance the workforce of North Carolina, will provide educational and
training opportunities consistent with the mission of the college, and will not duplicate the
opportunities currently offered.

They have assessed the need for the proposed program and the resources required to maintain a
viable program and certify that the college can operate the proposed program efficiently and
effectively within the resources available to the college.

The college will complete a program accountability report including student success measures,
enrollment trends, completion rates, and employment data three years after implementation of the
program.
II.
Program Rationale
Southwestern Community College indicated the following:

The college has secured a $900,000 Golden Leaf Grant that has been utilized to purchase
mechatronics training equipment and also to employ a STEM coordinator who will be stationed in
Swain County Schools for outreach and education of students and parents in support of the program.

According to the NC Department of Commerce Statewide Occupational Projections 2010-2020,
employment of Electro-Mechanical Technicians is expected to increase 17%.

The college surveyed Caterpillar, ConMet, Duotech, Franklin Tubular, Homtex, Jackson Paper,
TekTone, and Shaw Industries on skilled workforce needs. Over the upcoming five year time period,
the companies estimated 111 new jobs, 215 replacement jobs, and the need for training that will be
required for 350 incumbent employees.

A recent 2013 study submitted by the NC Rural Economic Development Center indicates a growing
trend in manufacturing jobs in the region for individuals possessing strong skillsets in specific
manufacturing industries such as medical supply, chemical products, aviation and aerospace, and
metal fabrication.
SBCC
07/18/2014

A representative from ConMet, a manufacturing company located in Swain County, indicated that
they are forced to contract with out-of-state companies to maintain their equipment because of the
lack of locally trained talent.

In April the college initiated recruitment activities during their first Advanced Manufacturing Day
that was attended by more than 200 students who toured the mechatronics facility and expressed
positive interest in the program. A pre-apprenticeship program has also been implemented through
the NC Department of Commerce that local high school students have already signed onto. Four
mechatronics scholarships will be offered by a local manufacturer for traditional college age students
who enroll in the program. The college has worked diligently promoting the proposed program and
has had no difficulty attracting students to it.

Swain County has donated space at its Regional Business Education Training Center for
mechatronics classrooms and laboratories.
Nine colleges are currently approved to offer the Mechatronics Engineering Technology (A40350) program.
An impact assessment was sent to Blue Ridge CC whose service area is contiguous to the service area of
Southwestern CC. Blue Ridge CC agreed that there is no negative impact upon their program.

Program Planning
Tri-County Community College is seeking approval for the Hospitality Management (A25110)
program to begin Fall 2014. The planning area is defined as the college’s service area of
Cherokee, Clay and Graham counties. All colleges were notified of the planning process for this
program.
The proposed program was approved by the Board of Trustees at Tri-County Community
College on September 30, 2013. Minutes from this Board meeting were attached to the program
application. The President and the Board of Trustees of Tri-County Community College have



Workforce needs for the service area are projected based on the growing leisure and
hospitality sector across the state, as well as the decision of the Eastern Band of Cherokee
Indians to build a resort/casino in Murphy, NC. This $110 million project will be the
largest employer in the College’s service area.
Community interest in hospitality programs has been strong. Local hospitality employers
expressed a need to recruit individuals who saw the field as a career option and not just a
short-term employment.
According to the North Carolina Department of Commerce, from August 2012 to
August 2013, job growth in the sector of Leisure and Hospitality Services was 18.7%.
Local governments and economic development agencies have identified the sector as
being critical to local and regional economic growth.
The Cherokee County Economic Development Commission expressed support of this
program and stated, By offering a Hospitality program of study, Tri-County Community
College will in turn create the skilled workforce needed for the service industry to
flourish.

Harrah’s projects that the Resort Casino will create 900 new jobs with an average hourly
rate of $12.95 and an average salaried rate of $50,295. The current estimate by Harrah’s
is that 70% of the jobs will be “front of house” jobs divided between hospitality and
culinary positions.
The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) estimates that the multiplier effect for casino job
creation is 1.66, which will result in a total of 1,494 new jobs (95% in the hospitality
field). This could effectively reduce the regional unemployment rate from 10.1% to less
than 2%, given a properly trained and educated local workforce.
A survey was conducted in spring 2013 of local high school students as well as a general
website-based survey. Of 211 high school students surveyed, 23 indicated interest in the
program. Of 33 online survey responses, 23 indicated interest in the program.
The anticipated enrollment in the Hospitality Management program will be 20 new full
time students per year, starting in Fall Semester 2014.
The Tribal Casino Gaming Enterprise provided a letter of support and stated that offering
this program will ensure interested community members are fully prepared to secure
employment and progress more rapidly into leadership roles in our organization.
The Cherokee County Economic Development Commission provided a letter of support
and indicated this program is especially important for the future growth of Cherokee
County.
The Clay County Economic Development Commission provided a letter of support and

I.
Program Planning
Wake Technical Community College (WTCC) is seeking approval for the Collision Repair and
Refinishing Technology (A60130) program to begin Fall 2014. The planning area is defined as the
college’s service area of Wake County. All colleges were notified of the planning process for this
program.
The proposed program was approved by the Board of Trustees at WTCC on February18, 2014. Minutes
from this Board meeting were attached to the program application. The President and the Board of
Trustees of WTCC have certified the following:

program.
II.
Program Rationale
Wake Technical Community College indicated the following:

Department of Labor statistics indicate that collision repair jobs in Wake County have continued to
rise steadily along with rising population and registered vehicles in the area with an increase of
over 8% per year for the last three years (WakeGOV) resulting in the county surpassing the one
million residents mark. Job estimates in collision repair for the county are just over 400 positions.

Wake County Government, Wake Technical Community College, and Wake County Public
Schools have worked collaboratively to establish the Vernon Malone College and Career Academy
for dually-enrolled high school students. The newly renovated facility contains modern
classrooms and equipment that was paid for by the partnership. FTE generated by the collision
repair program will be used to support the program. The facility will be open for classes beginning
with the Fall 2014 semester.

Local collision repair companies including Reliable Collision Repair, Coats Autobody, Haddock
Collision, and Bobby Murray Collision service repair facilities estimate that there will be
approximately 130 positions available at their facilities over the next few years.
SBCC
07/18/2014

WTCC has worked with Wake County Public School System on actively recruiting for the
program and have enough students interested in the program to fill a class. For the first year, the
CTE High School will enroll only 11th grade students and will also make evening courses available
to adults. The college surveyed local area high schools and have determined that they have
sufficient student interest to fill the first-year cohort with 18 students.

In addition to traditional job opportunities, it is noted that a career in collision repair and
refinishing is especially suitable for self-employment.
Twenty-three colleges are currently approved to offer the Collision Repair and Refinishing Technology
(A60130) program. An impact assessment was sent to Durham Technical Community College whose
service area is contiguous to the service area of Wake Technical CC. Durham Technical CC agreed that
there is no negative impact upon their program.
