Strategic Directions 

Offer multiple access and delivery avenues to build and refine knowledge and skills

We will increase our flexible learning options, integrated with effective support services, to help students complete their education and efficiently transition into the workplace. We will expand our learning delivery modes and develop new technology applications. We will strengthen connections to employers and workplaces through increased work-based learning opportunities for students.


Focus our entrepreneurial spirit on new designs for education linked to emerging opportunities

We will lead advancements in higher education through innovative, creative approaches to our work. As we pursue new and emerging opportunities, we will continue to develop all of our faculty and staff to fully utilize new technology and educational methods. We will actively benchmark and improve key operational processes to ensure our use of best practices.


Improve learning outcomes through the redesign of organizational practices

We will improve the graduation rates of our students. We will increase the number of students passing courses and reduce the student withdrawal rates. With a clear understanding of the complex needs of individual students, we will anticipate their likely barriers, and guide them toward goal achievement, in an effort to improve the overall student experience.


Energize regional economic potential through strong and dynamic partner connections

We will work in partnership with other organizations to leverage collective resources and support the economic development of our region. We will revitalize our employer advisory committees and convene dialogue sessions with major industry sectors to strengthen ties with employers. We will enhance our support for local businesses, K-12 schools, and other partners by developing a deeper understanding of their operations and challenges.


Build on strong working relationships to create a more cohesive organizational culture.

We will be more deliberate in working across department and division lines to collectively own and address broader institutional issues and challenges. We will further enhance leadership and team development for our employees. We will gain insights and build a more cohesive culture by learning from each other's experiences.


The strategic plan was formally adopted by the Board in August 2011. These directions will guide the College through 2014. Annual goals for each strategic direction have been articulated and implementation has begun. The key measures and targets will be monitored by College administration and the Board.
