A
Good
morning
and
welcome
to
the
fifth
and
final
meeting
of
the
br
subcommittee
on
economic
development,
tourism
and
environmental
protection,
just
as
a
quick
reminder
here
for
the
members,
the
new
protocol
allows
us
to
use
the
technology
of
the
2022
or
2021
year
going
into
2022,
which
is
has
made
it
extremely
nice
for
us
to
have
all
the
remote
access
here
online.
And
so
we
some
members,
checked
in
online.
A
We
also
have
sent
out
all
the
materials
for
this
meeting
prior
to
so
there'll
be
no
materials
here
for
everybody,
but
you
should
have
all
those
prior
to
this
meeting
at
this
time.
I'm
going
to
ask
for
our
assistant
to
call
the
roll.
Please.
A
A
Looks
like
we
do
have
enough
members
for
our
quorum.
So
at
this
time
I'm
going
to
ask
approval
of
the
minutes
from
the
september
24th
meeting
so
move
have
a
motion.
We
have
a
second,
oh
right.
Okay,
at
this
time
we're
going
to
go
just
a
little
bit
out
of
order.
Senator
thayer
has
a
presentation
with
hank
phillips.
The
president,
ceo
of
the
kentucky
travel
industry,
association
and
senator
ferris,
got
to
get
to
another
meeting.
G
G
A
lot
of
things
have
changed
in
the
last
two
years,
one
of
which,
of
course,
is
due
to
the
large
s
that
our
congress
has
deemed
appropriate.
G
Now
there
have
been
a
lot
of
industries
that
have
been
disproportionately
affected
by
by
the
pandemic,
as
well
as
by
the
ill-advised
shutdowns
and
lockdowns
and
capacity
restrictions
which,
in
hindsight
and
well
actually
in
foresight.
A
lot
of
us
thought
were
a
bad
idea.
In
hindsight
they
look
even
worse,
but
our
tourism
economy
was
absolutely
devastated
and
is
still
in
recovery
from
what
happened
in
in
the
pandemic.
G
They're
they're
having
a
hard
time,
hiring
people
to
work,
tourism-related
jobs
and
still
still
trying
to
get
people
back
into
the
travel
mode
to
visit
our
tourism
destinations
around
the
state.
G
Of
course,
who's
attending
virtual
this
morning
knows
about
the
economic
impact
of
of
that
particular
venue,
but
I'm
sure,
looking
across
the
room
and
knowing
who's
on
via
zoom,
all
of
our
districts
are
affected
positively
by
by
the
tourism
industry,
not
only
from
kentuckians
who
stay
home
and
and
visit
these
locations,
but
the
the
folks
who
come
from
all
over
the
country
and
indeed
all
over
the
world.
We
live
within
a
day's
drive
of
two-thirds
of
our
country's
population
and
with
our
interstate
system
and
our
airports.
G
We
are
well
positioned
in
this
recovery
to
get
these
people
back
to
kentucky
visiting
our
tourism
venues.
The
problem
is-
and
it's
been,
this
has
been
a
problem
for
a
long
time.
We
we
don't
spend
enough
on
tourism
marketing
in
general
in
kentucky,
and
we
quite
frankly
get
our
butts
kicked
by
surrounding
states
like
michigan
and
missouri
and
south
carolina
and
louisiana
and
florida.
G
So
we
need
to
play
catch-up
and
we
need
to
send
a
message
to
our
tourism
industry
that
we're
willing
to
take
some
of
these
arpa
dollars
and
spend
it
on
helping
the
tourism
and
travel
industry
recover
tourism
and
travel.
Do
they
are
eligible
for
these
funds.
I
wouldn't
ask
for
general
fund
dollars,
you're
going
to
see
coming
from
me
a
very
conservative
approach
on
general
fund
dollars
and
in
talking
to
chairman
mcdaniel,
I
think
that's
probably
the
direction
we're
headed
in
the
senate.
G
I
look
at
those
funds
a
lot
differently
than
I
look
at
these
federal
dollars
so
to
help
make
the
case
better
than
I
can
because
he's
living
it
every
day
and
hearing
from
his
his
folks
out
out
in
the
the
counties
in
the
various
regions
of
the
commonwealth,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
hank
phillips
from
the
kentucky
travel
industry,
association.
H
H
That
was
excellent
and,
and
it
demonstrates
your
understanding
and
your
leadership
when
it
comes
to
tourism
and
the
economic
engine
of
tourism.
So
thank
you
very
much,
mr
chairman,
thank
you
for
the
invitation
to
be
here
to
discuss
where
we've
been
where
we
are
and
where
we
would
like
to
go
with
your
support
as
the
tourism
industry
of
the
state.
It's
important
to
keep
tourism
in
context
and
I'll
start
with
that,
and-
and
that
is
the
reason
we
do.
H
Tourism
at
the
end
of
the
day
is
for
the
people
of
kentucky
for
the
families
of
kentucky
through
the
economic
activity
that
we
foster
through
the
jobs
that
we
create
through
the
tax
revenue
that
we
generate,
which
in
2019
ate
863
million
dollars
in
local
and
state
tax
revenue
generated
by
tourism,
and
that
accrues
to
the
people
of
kentucky
through
the
programs
and
services
they
receive
through
the
jobs
they
receive
through
the
activity
of
the
economy
that
they
benefit
from.
So
that's
why
we're
here?
H
That's
why
we
do
it
and
that
economic
engine,
as
senator
thara
said,
was
devastated
last
year,
I'm
going
to
talk
about
our
plan.
You've
got
that
and
see
it
on
the
screen
as
well
before
I
do
that
just
to
to
put
a
bright
line
under
some
of
the
situations
that
occurred
last
year,
I'll
use
some
data
from
the
tourism
arts
and
heritage
cabinet,
an
annual
study.
They
do
the
economic
impact
of
tourism
in
kentucky
and
I'll.
Just
share
these
points
with
you.
The
the
overall
economic
impact
of
tourism
last
year
fell
by
2.9
billion
dollars.
H
Nearly
3
billion
dollars
and
economic
activity
from
tourism
went
away
last
year.
The
most
painful
data
point
is
that
we
lost
14
850
jobs
from
this
industry
and,
as
the
senator
indicated,
we're
struggling
to
recover
those
jobs
and
and
to
try
to
recover
the
additionally
overall
visitor
spending
in
the
state
declined
26.5.
H
So,
as
we've
said,
often,
tourism
was
the
first
hit
the
hardest
hit
and
has
one
of
the
longest
paths
to
recovery
of
all
of
the
industries
that
we-
and
we
know
all
industries
were
impacted
by
the
co,
the
pandemic,
the
economic
crisis.
It
brought
on
the
the
point
that
I'll
make
about
those
numbers.
H
H
H
H
With
a
crisis
that
we've
confronted
of
the
depth
and
duration
that
it
has
been,
recovery
is
not
an
overnight
process.
Travel
has
certainly
picked
up,
no
doubt
about
it,
but
we
are
still
a
long
way
from
full
recovery.
The
plan
that
we
will
bring
forward
to
you
will
address
that
as
well
as
the
future.
Let
me
talk
about
for
just
a
second
give
you
some
insights
into
where
things
stand
now.
H
C
H
They
are
still
56
below
2019
levels
of
events
and
conferences
and
conventions
56
below,
and
that
is
for
bookings
next
year,
so
in
2022,
based
on
current
bookings
56
below
last
year,
and
then
again,
as
the
senator
indicated,
the
the
whole
industry
hotels,
attractions,
restaurants
are
being
stymied
in
their
recovery
by
the
labor
shortage.
H
Now
the
point
of
our
proposal,
which
I'm
going
to
detail
in
just
a
minute,
is
not
just
to
get
back
to
where
we
were.
We
have
an
opportunity.
We
have
always
had
an
opportunity
to
to
be
stronger
and
and
more
productive
than
we've
ever
been
previously
and
that's
the
ultimate
goal
and
that's
the
ultimate
objective
of
of
our
plan,
we're
bringing
to
you.
But
competition
is
ramping
up
we've
and
I
keep
echoing
what
the
senator
said.
H
We've
always
struggled
with
competition
with
other
states.
Despite
the
tremendous
assets
we
have
for
visitors
to
enjoy
and
to
experience
now,
the
competition
is
ramping
up,
because
other
states
recognize
that,
just
because
travel
is
going
to
increase
that
people
don't
come
to
a
state
just
by
happenstance.
They
do
it
as
a
result
of
marketing
of
being
attracted
appealed
to
to
come
to
a
given
destination
a
given
state
so
that
competition
is
ramping
up.
H
Let
me
just
go
through
a
quick
list,
an
unfortunately
long
list
of
states,
ohio,
145
million
dollars
from
arp
funds
for
tourism,
louisiana
77
and
a
half
million
dollars
virginia
50
million
south
carolina.
I
think
their
number
is
50
million
illinois
18
arizona,
100
million
new
york
get
ready
for
the
big
to
get
bigger,
400
million
dollars
in
arpa
funds
for
tourism,
california,
100
florida
100..
Yesterday
I
learned
that
puerto
rico
has
invested
150
million
dollars
from
arp
funds
in
tourism.
H
I,
like
that
emphasis,
mississip,
mississippi
north
carolina
and
wisconsin,
and
if
I'm
doing
something
wrong,
just
keep
moving
all
right,
so
demand
has
and
will
increase,
but
we
need
to
be
competitive,
strong
through
our
proposal
to
you
to
meet
that
demand,
compete
for
it
and
to
come
out
better.
At
the
other
end
senator
mentioned
that
the
american
rescue
plan
funds
allows
for
tourism.
H
H
H
Treasury's
answer
was
yes,
provided
that
recipients
states
consider
the
extent
of
the
impact
in
such
in
such
industries
as
compared
to
tourism.
Travel
hospitality,
in
other
words,
congress
recognized
the
devastation
of
this
industry
and
set
up
this
industry
as
a
yardstick
by
which
other
industries
impact
needs
to
be
measured.
H
H
Marketing
communities
is
critical
in
tourism
and
tourism
marketing.
We
are
requesting
35
million
dollars
for
tourist
commissions
to
be
distributed
by
the
department
of
tourism,
and
I
mentioned
the
criticality
of
the
meetings
and
convention
sector.
We
are
requesting
25
million
to
be
distributed
to
the
tourist
commissions
to
revitalize
the
meetings
and
convention
sector
of
our
industry.
H
H
75
dollars,
75
million
dollars
will
be
effective.
On
the
other
hand,
we
recognize
other
needs
other
priorities
that
you
will
be
wrestling
with
during
the
session.
That's
why
we've
asked
for
the
75,
on
the
other
hand,
just
bear
in
mind
that's
less
than
three
and
a
half
percent
of
the
total
of
the
arp
funds
coming
to
kentucky
so
we're
less
than
three
and
a
half
percent
of
those
funds.
You
can
help
this
industry
recover
and
come
out
stronger
than
it
was.
H
Wherever
possible,
we
have
looked
at
existing
statutes,
regulations
and
processes
to
tie
into
these
funds
we
are
requesting,
we
don't
think
wheels
need
to
be
reinvented.
There
are
tested
methods
of
accountability,
tested
methods
of
allocation
of
funds,
and
we
would
propose
that
those
as
much
as
possible
be
used
in
with
these
funds.
H
I'll
finish,
there
take
questions.
I
just
want
to
say
to
you.
Thank
you
all
for
the
great
work
you
do
for
the
increased
awareness
and
understanding
of
our
industry
as
we've
suffered
through
what
we
have.
We
ask
for
your
support
in
the
recovery
and
the
future
growth
and
productivity
of
kentucky's
tourism
industry.
Thank
you.
F
Thank
you,
mr
chairman
hank.
Thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
had
the
opportunity
to
meet
recently
with
hank
over
the
phone
and
with
our
local
tourism
folks
in
bullitt
county,
to
discuss
this
specific
plan.
Senator
I
want
to
thank
you
for
advocating
for
this
here
today
reaching
out
to
your
leadership.
I've
talked
to
the
chairman
of
the
house
appropriations
committee
and
made
a
similar
request.
F
Folks,
who've
who've,
been
on
this
committee
and
in
the
general
assembly,
know
that
in
the
course
of
nine
years
that
I've
been
here,
I
have
long
advocated
for
additional
dollars
to
tourism,
with
the
old
thought
that
you
spend
money
to
make
money,
and,
as
it's
been
illustrated
here
today,
states
surrounding
us
are
are
really
eating.
They're
eating
our
lunch
when
it
comes
to
tourism
and
bringing
those
tourism
dollars
in
bullitt
county.
As
we
know,
head
of
the
bourbon
trail,
a
lot
of
folks
come
there
bernheim.
F
F
F
We
have
the
best
state
in
the
union,
in
my
opinion
and
when
we
market
that-
and
we
let
other
people
know
what
we
have
here.
They
want
to
come
here.
As
I've
said
before
a
couple
years
ago,
my
wife
and
I
decided
over
the
course
of
the
summer
to
stay
in
kentucky
and
we
just
traveled
the
state,
and
there
is
a
tremendous
amount
to
offer.
We
didn't
get
to
it
all,
there's
a
lot
of
places.
I
didn't
even
know
about
in
this
in
this
state.
F
But
again
I
want
to
thank
you
senator
thank
you
for
your
your
lead
on
this
and
hank.
Thank
you
for
presenting
this
plan
and
I
hope
that
we
will
see
this
appropriation
in
the
22
session.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
A
G
Representative,
thank
you,
mr
chairman,
representative
weber.
I
eagerly
accept
the
alliance
that
we
have
formed
to
try
to
get
this
done.
You
know
in
in
marketing
you're
trying
to
get
someone
to
buy
your
product
or
your
service,
or
in
this
case
we're
selling
experiences,
kentucky
tourism
destination
experiences,
and
in
order
to
do
that,
we
have
to
first
create
awareness
and
then
turn
that
awareness
into
interest
and
then
finally
deliver
on
the
action,
which
means
somebody
decides
to
visit
a
kentucky
destination
or
destinations.
G
So
I'm
a
big
believer
and,
like
you
said
in
the
marketing
side
of
things,
you
got
to
spend
money
to
make
money
and
we
need
to
get
this
industry
back
on
track.
All
those
jobs
created.
They
pay
taxes,
they
pay
local
taxes,
they
pay
state
taxes.
Those
dollars
come
into
our
general
fund
to
help
us
pay
for
education
and
correction
and
medicaid
and
pensions,
and
all
the
other
things
we
have
to
pay
for
at
the
state
state,
gov
state
government
level
and
helps
our
local
governments
deliver
the
services
that
our
constituents
demand.
C
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
Can
you
assure
us
that
none
of
the
money
will
be
used
for
programs
or
places
that
require
a
vaccine
mandate.
H
We
wouldn't
try
to
dictate
the
policies
of
those
locations.
Senator
may
have
a
response,
but
I
can't
I
I'm
not
in
a
position
to
to
offer
that
assurance.
C
G
G
I
don't
think
businesses
should
have
vaccine
mandates,
but
I
also
don't
think
it's
a
job
of
government
to
come
in
and
play
big
brother
and
tell
them
how
to
operate,
and
so
I
I
I
would
support
tying
those
two
together
in
this
case,
and
I
understand
you
and
I
probably
differ
on
that.
But
that's
my
position.
H
C
C
So,
while
senator
there-
and
I
agree
on
quite
a
few
things-
we
also
disagree
on
some
things
and
I'd
be
happy
to
have
that
conversation
with
you
and
let
you
know
my
thoughts
on
that.
Thank
you
very
much.
That's
all.
I
have.
G
G
H
I
I
will
mention
as
far
as
the
meetings
and
conventions
and
so
on,
where
I
think
those
decisions
are
best
made
are
by
the
groups
that
hold
the
events
that
come
in
and
utilize
a
convention
center
or
some
other
venue
to
take
it
down
to
the
level
of
the
organizer
and
their
group,
their
participants,
their
members
who
attend.
I
think
that's
where
the
determination
of
what
should
or
should
not
be
done,
what's
required
or
not
required.
I
think
that's
the
best
place
to
leave
that
sort
of
decision
making.
A
Well
last
comment:
I
guess
is
going
to
be
from
the
chairman
here,
so
I've
heard
it
mentioned
several
times,
but
in
the
world
of
business
I
come
from.
We
say
that
business
is
a
contact
sport
and
you
have
to
make
a
touch
to
make
a
sale
and
I'm
glad
to
see
this
75
million
being
proposed
to
be
spent
on
marketing.
A
And
so
I
think
this
is
a
good
way
because,
especially
in
a
crack,
a
cash
strapped
time
frame
for
these
businesses,
they
don't
have
the
money
to
spend
on
marketing
they're
just
worried
about
trying
to
keep
their
employees
employed.
So
I
think
this
is
a
good
area,
and
this
is
the
right
committee
to
be
in
front
of,
as
we
make
our
recommendations
to
the
appropriations
chair.
These
will
be
the
things
that
we're
gonna
be
studying
and
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
navigate
through
the
next
60
days
or
so
here
in
january.
A
G
A
So
we're
going
to
get
back
on
to
our
schedule
here,
so
the
next
presentation
will
be
from
the
community
and
technical
college
system
and
as
they
make
their
way
forward
this
committee
meeting,
we
wanted
to
have
a
focus
on
kind
of
the
workforce
shortages
that
we're
facing
today,
that's
being
driven
by
inflation,
that's
being
driven
by
the
lack
of
people
in
the
workforce
as
we
try
to
rebuild
our
economy,
and
you
know
I
feel
like
we
got
all
the
right
players
at
the
table
to
start
figuring
out
how
we
play
offense
on
creating
individuals
that
are
skilled
and
ready
for
these
workpla
for
the
workplace.
I
Thank
you
so
much
and
good
morning,
I'm
chris
williams,
I
serve
as
chancellor
or
chief
academic
and
workforce
development
officer
for
kctcs
senator
caslin
representative
beckler
members
of
the
committee.
We
really
appreciate
the
opportunity
today
to
talk
about
your
community
and
technical
college
system
with
facilities
in
your
area
with
me
are
dr
phil
neal,
who
is
the
president
of
south
central
kentucky
community
and
technical
college
and
dr
scott
williams,
who's
the
president
at
owensboro,
community
and
technical
college.
I
I
I
J
We
oftentimes
get
asked
that
very
question.
How
do
you
decide
which
programs
to
offer?
How
do
you
know
when
to
expand
a
program?
How
do
you
know
when
to
phase
out
or
sunset
a
program,
and
it
starts
with
conversations
with
industry?
Our
our
close
industry
partners
are
critical
to
the
the
decisions
that
we
make,
and
many
of
you
have
seen
an
image
similar
to
the
one
that
you
see
on
the
screen.
Now
this
is
from
the
bowling
green
chamber.
J
I
sit
on
that
as
a
on
their
board
as
a
board
member,
and
they
are
a
great
voice
of
industry,
as
many
of
our
chambers
are,
as
well
as
the
kentucky
chamber
in
and
of
itself.
But
what
you
see
on
there
is
a
report
from
august
showing
the
open
jobs
report
and
many
of
our
chambers
do
publish
open
jobs
report
and
alarmingly,
those
numbers
continue
to
climb
as
we
move
forward
through
the
pandemic.
J
It
is
important
for
our
good
partners
in
industry,
both
at
the
chamber
level
and
individual
industries,
for
us
to
dig
in
with
them
to
the
data
so
that
we
better
understand
what
a
data
point
means
to
us.
We
know
that
any
one
data
point
is
not
a
complete
picture
in
and
of
itself,
and
this
number
that
you
see
on
the
screen
right
now
shows
what
may
appear
to
be
7
384
jobs.
J
We
have
to
dig
into
that
number
to
know
two
things
is
that
truly
7
384
different
jobs
and
which
ones
are
they
and
then
number
two,
since
we
are
post-secondary
education
providers
which
of
those
jobs
or
what
percentages
of
those
jobs
need
post-secondary
education
training.
So
I'm
going
to
briefly
walk
you
through
the
decision
matrix
that
we
use
to
make
decisions
about
which
programs
that
we
we
bring
to
bear
for
our
industry
partners
as
well
as
expand
and
sunset.
J
So
we
try
to
do
what
I
call
a
triangulation
of
data
first
and
foremost.
First,
we
look
at
a
number
similar
to
what
you
just
saw.
We
look
back
at
historical
job
postings,
whether
that
be
over
a
recent
quarter
a
recent
year
or
longer
to
see
what
the
trends
have
been
in
the
demand
side,
the
number
of
job
advertisements
that
we
see
within
our
respective
regions.
J
We
also
sometimes
use
federal,
labor
bureau
bureau
of
labor
statistics
data
to
help
us
understand
the
future,
but
even
those
two
data
points
don't
paint
the
complete
picture.
So
we
then
go
back
to
our
industry
partners
where
we
bring
them
to
the
table
and
ask
them
to
help
validate
the
data.
So
we
can
make
the
proper
decisions
for
the
commonwealth
and
every
one
of
our
colleges,
all
16
of
our
colleges
in
in
all
of
our
program
areas.
J
J
Don't
require
any
education
at
all,
there's
more
to
that
story,
and
that's
where
we
have
to
talk
with
industry,
because
many
of
our
industries
are
hiring
people
into
more
grow
your
own
or
work
and
learn
models
where
they'll
bring
them
on
without
the
skills
necessarily
that
they
desire
them
to
have
but
they'll
partner
with
a
community
and
technical
college
and
more
apprenticeship
or
work
and
learn
type
models
which
are
becoming
more
and
more
popular
across
the
commonwealth.
And
dr
williams
will
be
talking
about
some
of
those
here
in
just
a
moment.
J
But
we
have
to
understand
the
degree
to
which
industry
needs
us
to
provide
training
for
the
positions
that
we
have
posted
okay,
so
some
of
the
tools
that
we
do
use
to
then
look
into
the
future,
as
I
mentioned
before,
through
ky
stats
on
the
bottom
left
of
your
screen
are
a
tremendous
set
of
data
tools
that
just
help
us
look
into
the
future.
We
also
have
on
some
on
the
upper
right
that
help
us
within
kctcs.
Look
at
the
data
I'm
going
to
zero
into
one
particular
occupation.
J
That's
a
high
profile
occupation
over
the
last
couple
of
years
in
particular,
and
that
is
registered
nursing.
How
do
we
know
if
we're
producing
enough
registered
nurses?
It
was
mentioned
earlier
in
the
committee
that
there
is
a
shortage
of
nurses
right
now
and
we
need
to
continue
working
on
meeting
that
demand.
But
what
exactly
is
that
demand?
J
So
in
my
region,
the
10
counties
of
the
barren
river
area
development,
district
ky
stats
showed
that
in
2018
there
was
approximately
283
registered
nurse
jobs
in
place
in
our
region
across
all
the
health
care
providers,
and
it
was
predicted
within
10
years
of
then
by
the
year
2028
that
that
would
grow
approximately
13
percent.
So,
as
an
educational
provider,
we
have
to
sit
back
and
say:
why
are
we
prepared
to
meet
that
demand?
J
Are
we
meeting
the
current
demand
and
how
do
we
grow
the
supply
to
meet
the
the
growing,
and
so
we
bring
our
industry
advisory
committees
to
to
the
table?
Ones
like
you
see
on
the
screen,
the
medical
center,
our
great
partners
in
in
helping
us
to
grow
and
understand
what
that
growth
looks
like
in
the
future,
and
we
are
actually
growing
our
registered
nursing
program
as
a
result
of
collaboration
with
that
particular
industry
right
now.
J
So
as
we
look
at
this
triangulation
of
data,
the
red
box
shows
the
three
steps
that
I
was
just
referencing
in
relation
to
registered
nursing
so
number
one.
If
we
look
at
past
job
postings,
if
we
simply
look
at
the
number
of
times
registered
nurse
jobs
were
posted
over
the
last
year
in
south
central
kentucky,
it
may
appear
that
there
were
1107
different
nursing
jobs,
but
we
know
there's
some
duplication
in
those
numbers.
J
So
again
we
have
to
take
it
to
the
next
level
and
then
look
at
the
predictive
models
for
the
future
to
better
understand
what
that
picture
looks
like
and
according
to
ky
stats,
we
will
need
to
be
producing
an
additional
30
registered
nurses
per
year,
as
well
as
backfill
160,
that
we
lose
to
attrition
retirement
or
other
other
reasons,
and
so
close
to
200
is
what
we're
going
to
have
to
produce
amongst
the
educational
providers
each
year
in
our
region
to
meet
this
demand.
And
so
then
we
finally
bring
industry
to
the
table.
J
So
companies
like
the
med
center
and
many
other
health
care
providers
that
we
provide
registered
nurses
to
we
bring
them
to
the
table,
every
fall
and
every
spring
to
validate
those
numbers,
and
they
themselves
tell
us
it's
approximately
200
a
year
in
our
region
that
we
will
have
to
be
producing.
So
then,
that
sets
the
picture
for
the
demand
side
of
it.
J
Then
we
go
over
to
the
green
box,
which
is
we
have
to
take
a
look
in
the
mirror
and
say:
what's
our
supply
look
like
of
of
all
the
educational
providers,
so
at
my
college
sky
ctc
we
put
out
about
50
or
more
registered
nurses
each
year
and
then,
according
to
the
publicly
accessible
data
for
western
kentucky
university,
they
produce
180
to
200
or
so
per
year
in
the
registered
nurse
realm.
So
based
upon
balancing
that
supply
with
the
demand,
then
we
in
higher
education
can
then
make
the
decision
of.
J
Do
we
create
a
program
that
does
not
exist
currently
at
our
educational
institutions
to
meet
a
a
new
demand
that
we
may
not
have
seen
in
the
past
or
in
some
cases,
do
we
suspend
or
what
we
call
sunset
a
program,
because
the
demand
is
no
longer
there
by
industry?
So
I
hope
that
helps
give
you
a
better
understanding
of
the
type
of
data
analytics
and
and
interactions
that
we
have
with
industry
to
make
the
decisions.
J
Now,
dr
scott
williams
will
be
showing
you
at
scale
the
types
of
decisions
that
have
been
made
across
kctcs.
J
I
Williams
is
going
to
rest
that
microphone
back
for
a
minute,
and
just
speak
to
that.
We
really
do
monitor
carefully
the
programs
that
we're
using
when
it's
time
to
close
the
program
when
there's
no
longer
need
or
when
we
just
cannot
enroll
students,
because
there's
not
student
interest
regardless
of
employer
need.
Then
we
close
a
program
or
sunset.
It
teach
out
the
students
in
that
program
and
redirect
those
resources
to
a
program
that
better
than
meets
the
community's
needs.
I
So
you
can
see
that
over
the
years
here
we
have
by
credential
level
sunset
many
of
our
programs
and
added
many
of
our
programs.
This
is
the
ones
we've
added
and
often
those
are
a
program
that
was
at
one
college
and
then
another
college
finds
an
employer
in
their
community
needs
the
same
program.
We
do
share
the
same
curriculum
across
our
programs.
I
Examples
of
brand
new
programs
that
have
been
developed
to
meet
community
need
are
these
in
cyber
security,
orthotics
and
prosthetics.
Just
programs
that
had
not
existed
in
our
program
base
before
but
have
clear
need.
Usually
they
are
to
meet
employer
need,
but
I
can
tell
you
that
the
cyber
computer
excuse
me.
The
computer
engineering
technology
program
is
a
partnership
between
bluegrass,
community
and
technical
college
and
the
university
of
kentucky
and
those
students
will
receive
both
an
associate
degree
and
then
a
university
degree
which
will
prepare
them
for
a
different
level
of
cyber
security
jobs.
I
And
then
we
spoke
to
closing
programs
and
while
it
hasn't
been
a
huge
number,
each
of
these
does
represent
a
program
and
resources
that
we
have
closed
and
moved
on
to
to
new
to
meet
new
needs.
I
know
senator
caslin
that
you,
you
know
specifically
wanted
to
know
how
we
recruit
students.
How
do
we
bring
students
into
the
pipeline?
I
One
of
the
ways
is
through
this
extraordinary
opportunity
that
the
legislature
supported
several
years
ago
and
continues
to
support
and
change,
and
that's
the
work
ready
scholarship
program.
That
is
an
outstanding
example
of
a
partnership
to
really
support
stupo
students
and
our
employers,
and
it's
a
marketing
piece
for
us,
because
it
is
a
last
dollar
applied
scholarship.
Often
if
students
can't
get
other
financial
aid.
I
Areas
which
work
with
companies
on
a
daily
basis
at
the
colleges
are
also
at
those
companies
working
with
their
employees
and
recruiting
out
of
their
employee
pools
for
new
education.
So
this
website
is
an
example
of
a
targeted
program
for
displaced
workers.
It
was
made
available
in
june
and
got
just
thousands
of
hits
over
the
last
few
months.
As
we
said,
you
know,
come
back
come
back
to
work,
it's
the
you
know
covet
is
decreasing.
I
K
Thank
you,
dr
williams,
and
yes,
one
of
the
ways
in
which
we
really
optimize
engaging
students,
especially
adult
students,
is
through
this
earn
and
learn.
Programmatic
delivery
system,
so
probably
the
most
famous
one
most
well-known,
is
kentucky
fame,
which
is
an
advanced
manufacturing
technician
program
which
students
are
sponsored
by
a
company
work
for
that
company
and
then
go
to
to
to
school
so
many
days
a
week
in
order
to
enhance
their
craft,
and
so
this
is
a
program.
That's
was
actually
started
by
bluegrass
community
technical
college
and
toyota.
K
It
has
now
branched
out
throughout
the
commonwealth.
In
fact,
almost
all
the
schools
within
the
kctcs
system
offer
a
fame
program.
What
we
found
through
the
fame
program
is
that
it's
highly
successful
eighty
percent
of
those
students
complete
the
program-
that's
a
that's
a
significantly
large
number
and
it's
equal
across
demographics.
It
doesn't
matter
the
demographic
of
the
student
they're,
all
successful
at
a
very
high
completion
rate
graduates
who
come
out
of
that
program
earn
more
money.
K
In
fact,
the
average
famed
student
is
earning
about
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year,
and
so
I
was
joking
with
them.
I
may
need
to
look
for
another
at
this
as
a
video,
but
they
earned
about
100
000
a
year,
which
is
about
45
000,
more
than
a
student,
that
would
be
a
non-famed
student,
and
so,
lastly,
what
we
have
found
from
these
students
by
surveying
them
94
said
that
the
most
important
piece
of
this
program
was
the
on-the-job
training,
and
that
was
what
a
significant
component
of
it
is.
K
K
There
are
a
number
of
them
throughout
the
16
colleges
of
kctcs,
and
I'm
going
to
mention
just
a
few
of
them
or
highlight
just
a
small
percentage
of
those
that
are
offered.
So
these
just
give
you
an
example.
So
one
is
skyflex.
This
is
a
program
offered
through
the
south
central
kentucky
community
technical
college.
It's
really
centered
around
skilled
trade
students
to
go
to
school
one
day
a
week
and
allowing
them
to
work
five
days
a
week
with
a
company,
so
they
can
earn
and
learn.
K
While
they're
working
ashland
has
a
24-hour
welding
program,
they
actually
teach
in
three
shifts
eight
hours,
a
piece
so
they're
running
around
the
clock.
This
allows
them
those
students.
They
can
work
in
the
pipeline
industry,
around
ashland
community
technical
college
and
still
go
to
school
to
earn
their
certifications
in
welding
at
octc.
We
have
a
techx
program.
K
K
Our
west
kentucky
friends
at
west
kentucky
community
technical
college
have
a
team
launch
program
that
allows
dislocated
youth
youth
that
are
at
risk.
It
gives
them
an
opportunity
to
actually
do
internships
paid
internships
and
work
experiences,
while
they're
going
to
school
hazard,
community
and
technical
colleges
has
their
k-tech
program,
which
is
actually
a
high
school
apprenticeship-like
program
for
health
care
that
those
students
can
get
a
certificate
for
graduating
from
high
school.
K
At
octc
we
have
go
careers,
go
careers
is
a
fame
model,
but
it's
for
business
administration
systems.
So
in
this
one
we're
working
with
with
organizations
as
large
as
u.s
bank
in
which
students
are
actually
working
towards,
are
working
for
the
bank
and
earning
the
opportunity
to
get
an
associate's
degree
in
that
area.
Jefferson,
community
technical
college
has
toyota
t10
this.
This
particular
program
is
tied
to
the
toyota
industry,
producing
certified
technicians,
ase,
certified
toyota
technicians
and
gives
them
the
opportunity
to
work
in
that
service
while
going
to
school
bit.
K
502
is
also
in
jefferson,
community
technical
college.
This
is
with
a
partnership
with
code
louisville,
and
this
allows
students
to
work
in
the
computer
industry
and
earn
an
associate's
degree
in
information
technology.
Jefferson's,
mercedes-benz,
accelerate
program
takes
technicians
that
are
already
working
in
the
industry.
They
are
mercedes-benz
certified
and
they
get
an
accelerated
program
into
an
automotive
tech
degree
within
just
a
year.
Jefferson's
built
is
a
construction
apprenticeship-like
program,
that's
been
quite
effective
and
madisonville.
K
Community
college
has
both
a
ge
program,
apprenticeship
with
their
local
ge
manufacturer,
as
well
as
an
accelerated
ait
program
that
allows
students
to
kind
of
come
in
on
their
at
their
pace
in
order
to
earn
their
degree
in
and
from
excuse
me
earn
their
degree
industrial
technicians.
So
now
the
real
question
is:
are
we
truly
connecting
the
supply
with
demand
and
producing
kctcs
graduates
they're
to
be
employed
by
kentucky
companies?
That's
really
what
we
want
to
do
and
the
way
we've
been
able
to
determine.
This
is
again.
K
This
was
mentioned
earlier
with
kentucky
stats
as
a
post-bac
post
secondary
feedback
report
that
can
actually
give
us
the
data
that
illustrates
the
importance
of
kctc
is
playing
in
job
placements
for
kentucky's
workforce,
and
so
the
next
chart
shows
you.
This
is
data
from
august
of
2021
and
it
shows
that
kctcs
job
play
placement
with
kentucky.
Companies
is
30
percent
higher
than
those
of
the
four-year
institutions,
but
not
an
appreciable
difference
in
starting
wages,
so
truly
showing
that
kctcs
is
the
primary
provider
of
skilled
workforce
in
kentucky.
I
So
you
know
we
are
supported
primarily
through
state
funding
through
the
performance
funding
model
and
also
by
tuition,
and
our
goal
is
always
to
keep
tuition
very
affordable
for
our
students.
We,
we
are
their
gateway
to
higher
education,
both
through
our
dual
credit
programs
and
through
our
regular
college
programs
and
through
the
workforce
programs
that
we
do
directly
with
employers.
I
So,
as
you
and
others
in
the
legislature
consider
your
budget
spending
priorities,
we
ask
that
you
keep
in
mind
that
our
16
colleges
are
providing
the
skilled
talent
pipeline.
That
stays
in
kentucky
works
in
kentucky,
retains
current
companies
and
invites
in
new
ones,
and
I
would
be
remiss
in
not
saying
that
ectc
and
jctc
elizabethtown
and
jefferson
were
both
instrumental
in
bringing
ford
and
sk
innovation
to
our
commonwealth.
I
I
And
so
we
ask
you
keep
our
learners
and
our
employer
partners
in
mind
in
four
ways
that
you
support
the
council
on
post-secondary
education,
post-secondary
budget
request,
which
includes
an
increase
in
performance-based
funding
bonding
to
address
long-deferred
building
maintenance
and
a
workforce
initiative
request
for
kctcs.
That
would
allow
us
to
better
address
high
demand.
Workforce
needs
we're
competing
for
salaries
for
our
instructors,
just
as
employers
are
competing
in
their
industries.
I
I
There
are
two
that
requests
that
would
help
us
actually
save
five
million
dollars
a
year
without
harming
anyone
in
the
process,
and
we
could
then
redirect
those
funds.
Those
are
adding
a
fafsa
requirement
to
the
eligibility
requirements
for
the
12
state,
mandated
tuition
waivers
and
amending
the
awards
to
be
last
dollar
we're
leaving
federal
tuition
dollars
on
the
table
when
we
do
not
have
that
as
a
simple
requirement.
I
Our
students
do
have
scholarships
against
that
50
percent,
but
our
colleges
are
are
eating
a
lot
of
potential
tuition
dollars
to
put
in
other
areas
through
that
current
tuition
waiver
fund.
So
with
that,
we
want
to
really
thank
you
for
your
attention
and
your
interest,
the
support
we
know
you
bring
to
kctcs
every
time,
you're
in
your
communities.
We
want
to
invite
you
to
our
colleges
to
meet
with
our
presidents,
see
the
cool
things
that
are
going
on
there
and
we
welcome
any
questions.
A
A
Letting
these
kids
know
that
there
is
a
world
of
opportunity
out
there
for
them
and
that
you
know
they
were
created
for
a
special
reason
and
and
to
let
them
use
those
gifts
to
benefit
themselves
and
their
family.
And
so
I
think
those
are
things
you're
going
to
see
this
town
really
take
a
focus
on
to
try
to
meet
these
demands.
Do
we
have
any
members
who
have
any
comments
or
questions
this
time?
Oh
we've
got
a
whole
list
here,
chairman
beckler.
C
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
on
the
state
funding
model,
are
you
satisfied
with
it
or
do
you
think
it
ought
to
be
just
thrown
in
the
garbage
can
and
totally
reworked
or
modified
a
bit?
Can
you
speak
to
that?
Please.
I
J
Having
well
both
scott
and
and
and
chris,
and
I
all
three
of
us
have
been
working
in
kctcs
prior
to
the
model
and
after
the
model,
and
I
think
it
is
working.
I
think
it's
a
step
in
the
right
direction.
You
can
always
debate
whether
the
right
metrics
are
in
place
or
there
are
some
things
that
maybe
we're
missing.
That's
that's
always
part
of
the
debate,
but
I
do
like
the
focus
on
performance.
J
Are
we
doing
the
things
that
we're
charged
to
do,
and
from
that
standpoint
I
think
it
is
working
within
the
state.
I
think
the
the
bigger
question
that
we've
had
over
the
years
is
the
the
the
the
size
of
the
allocation
that
goes
through
the
model.
J
K
And
I'll
just
echo
that
representative
beckler
that
it
really
has
it
allows
us
to
really
focus
on
the
outcomes
that
are
meaningful
for
the
commonwealth,
and
so
performance-based
funding
has
been,
I
think,
a
beneficial
way
of
funding
and
moving
money
through
those
models.
D
I
Yes,
sir,
it's
the
same
for
every
every
college
and
every
across
and
then
our
online
tuition,
which
is
the
same,
is
also
is
the
sa.
If
you're
outside
the
state,
you
can
have
in-state
tuition
for
for
online
courses,
but
every
college
is
the
same.
D
Okay,
thank
you
and
then,
if
I
just
might
make
one
comment
in
this,
please
don't
please
don't
take
this
the
wrong
way
and-
and
I
don't
think
I
don't
think
this
was
allowed
to
happen
in
the
last
year
so
when
schools
were
allowed
to
come
into
the
colleges
were
allowed
to
come
into
the
high
schools
and
set
up
their
tables,
and
you
know,
promote
their
universities
and,
in
my
specific
district
about
all
the
high
schools
allowed
that
to
happen.
D
But
one
and
I
attended
these
several
of
them
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
noticed
that
there
was
really
not
a
presence
of
the
kcts
tables
as
much
as
there
was
of
the
universities-
and
I
was
I
was
a
little
concerned
about
that,
because
I
really
like
what
you
all
do
so
I
I
would
just
make.
I
would
just
kind
of
throw
that
out
there
too.
D
Again,
I
know
last
year
that
what
nobody
did
that
last
year,
but
in
the
when
we
were
allowed
to
do
that,
I
I
just
saw
a
lack
of
presence
there
and-
and
I
think
you
have
personally-
I
think
you
have
more
to
offer
than
anybody
else.
I
Well,
thank
you
and
if,
if
I
can
just
add
really
both
to
your
point,
senator
caslin
and
to
yours,
representative
hale,
one
of
the
things
that
kctcs
has
done
as
a
as
a
system
of
colleges
to
reach
down
and
to
lower
into
the
schools
is
partner
with
the
kentucky
chambers
bus
to
business
program,
which
this
year
is
both
virtual
and
in
person
and
goes
through
multiple
grades
based
on
schools
that
want
to
participate.
But
they
speak
directly
with
employers
and
often
it's
about
very
trade
related
jobs.
I
It
might
be
the
maritime
industry,
it
might
be
the
healthcare
industry,
and
then
kctcs
has
10
minutes
at
the
end
of
the
program
hour
to
speak
to
all
the
things
that
we
can
offer
at
the
schools
in
those
areas
and
that
you
know
finances
should
not
be
a
barrier
for
anyone's
participation,
giving
the
financial
avail.
You
know
the
financial
aid
and
and
work
ready,
scholarship
availability.
So
that
is
one
more
way.
We're
trying
to
reach
out.
But
to
your
specific
point,
we'll
we'll
we'll
follow
up
and
just
see
what
was
going
on.
D
And
even
the
re,
even
the
regional
campuses
out
from
those
those
needs
to
make
a
presence
at
the
local.
Yes,.
I
C
A
B
A
A
L
As
you
said,
my
name
is
david
horstmann,
I'm
the
associate
commissioner
for
career
and
technical
education
in
the
office
or
in
the
department
of
education,
and
I
have
with
me
today
mr
leslie
slaughter,
who
is
our
executive
advisor,
we're
honored
to
be
here
today
to
share
with
you
a
little
bit
about
career
and
technical
education
in
kentucky
and
what
we're
doing
and,
as
you
heard
from
our
partners
at
kctcs,
we
do
a
lot
of
work
hand
in
hand
to
make
sure
that
we're
in
alignment
with
what
right.
L
L
L
These
pathways
are
integrated
with
dual
credit,
other
other
general
education
courses
that
enhance
the
technical
programming
and
the
pathway
that
students
are
in.
These
are
also
developed,
as
you
heard.
We
have
advisory
committees
in
in
all
of
our
program
areas
to
make
sure
that
we're
in
alignment
with
the
skills
and
many
of
those
now
are
emphasizing
the
foundational
academic
skills
along
with
employability,
as
well
as
the
technical
skills.
L
This
graphic
just
shows
you
that
70
percent
looks
like
a
great
number
when
you
have
about
200
000
kids
in
a
cte
career,
I
mean
in
high
school
and
you
have
about
70
percent
of
those
in
career
and
technical
education
pathways.
L
We
are
great
partners
with
ky
stats
and
value
everything
that
they
do
there
and
through
that
partnership,
we
we've
targeted
to
get
85
percent
of
these
career
pathways
to
align
with
the
top
occupations
in
our
state's
top
industry
sectors,
and
then
the
other
15
are
aligned
to
those
support,
occupations
that
we
have
to
have
in
our
communities
when
we
have
large
amounts
of
increase
in
jobs
like
we're
going
to
see
in
the
hardin
county
area.
L
Just
to
give
you
an
idea
of
our
delivery
system,
we
have
nearly
300
locations
across
the
commonwealth,
with
53
of
them
being
our
state
operated
area,
technology
centers,
and
then
we
have
42
funded
locally
operated,
centers,
which
are
referred
to
as
the
lavax,
and
we
have
another
200
or
so
that
reside
in
comprehensive
high
schools
and
some
other
centers,
and
even
in
some
areas
we
use
kctcs
and
some
of
those
have
no
funding
at
all.
B
There.
We
go
sorry
guys,
so
we
utilize
a
framework
that
was
developed
by
our
professional
association,
known
as
acte,
or
the
association
for
career
and
technical
education
to
to
look
at
these
12
pillars
or
indicators,
as
we
evaluate
implementation
of
secondary
cte.
So
for
us,
it's
kind
of
a
package
approach,
it's
not
just
about
the
curriculum
and
the
courses
and
the
standards,
but
it's
truly
about
looking
at
all
of
these
indicators,
how
those
look
at
a
local
and
state
implementation
level.
So
I'll
just
point
out
a
few.
B
For
example,
when
we
talk
about
sequencing
and
articulation,
you
heard
a
great
presentation
from
kctcs.
They
are
an
incredible
partner
of
ours
as
well
as
many
of
our
four-year
institutions.
So
what
does
the
acceleration
opportunities
look
like
for
students
in
high
school
career
pathways,
the
dual
credit,
the
opportunity
to
have
articulated
credit
once
they
pursue
those
programs
at
the
post-secondary
level,
kind
of
a
credit
for
prior
learning
approach?
If
you
will
student
assessment,
what
does
the
industry
certification
credentialing
opportunities?
B
We
know
that
those
have
a
profound
impact
on
our
students
at
the
secondary
level
in
terms
of
leadership,
development
and
those
critical
essential
skills,
those
employability
skills
that
we
know
both
post-secondary
institutions
and
our
employers
feel
are
so
desperately
needed
in
all
students.
So
work-based
learning
opportunities
is
another.
That
is
a
critical
component
of
the
work
we
do
in
our
office
and
promoting
everything
from
shadowing
and
mentoring
programs
all
the
way
through
internships,
co-ops
and
registered
youth
apprenticeships.
B
As
david
mentioned,
we
utilize
the
state's
career
clusters
framework
to
organize
our
career
pathways.
So
essentially,
these
are
what
I
call
the
umbrella
categories
that
include
virtually
every
workforce
sector,
both
public
and
private,
that
you
can
think
of.
So
this
is
kind
of
how
we
organize
and
package
our
programs
of
study
and
promote
those,
especially
at
the
earlier
grades,
elementary
and
middle
school
grades,
and
then
it's
within
those
career
clusters
that
the
very
targeted
career
pathways
are
developed.
B
We
have
150
career
pathway,
options
that
fall
within
these
16
career
clusters
and
as
we
look
at
how
we
develop
and
design
those
pathways,
we
really
take
a
grade
9
through
16
approach.
So
we
like
to
talk
a
lot
about
a
career
lattice
model
where
we
take
starting
in
grade
9
the
coursework.
The
student
needs
to
prepare
for
that
career,
both
technical
cte
courses
as
well
as
relevant,
gen
ed.
B
I
do
want
to
point
out
again
that
the
alignment
specifically
of
those
gen
ed
courses
is
really
important,
not
just
from
a
minimum
high
school
graduation
perspective.
We
know
that
every
student
has
to
complete
a
number
of
credits
and
courses
to
graduate,
but
then
also
looking
at
what
are
the
very
specific
gen
ed
courses
that
will
most
prepare
that
student
as
they
continue
on
in
the
path
and
journey
of
pursuing
that
career.
So
whether
it's
a
particular
mathematics
course,
statistics
ap
course
work.
B
Anything
that's
relevant
to
the
preparation
of
that
career
pathway.
We
really
work
intensively
with
guidance,
counselors
and
career
coaches
to
understand
how
we
design
what
those
courses
look
like
and
and
the
sequence
of
those
courses,
and
then,
as
I
mentioned
when
we
talk
high
quality
cte,
we're
talking
about
embedding
experiential
learning
we're
talking
about
early
post-secondary
opportunities
when
at
all
possible,
so
dual
credit,
ap,
ib,
coursework
industry,
certifications
that
will
lead
to
articulated
credit
at
our
post-secondary
institutions.
B
We
also
have
what
we
call
cte
end
of
program
assessments,
so
those
are
essentially
a
test
or
an
exam
that
they
can
take
at
the
end
of
that
career
pathway
at
the
high
school
level
and
earn
articulated
credit
for
as
well.
If
they're
successful
in
the
passing
of
that
and
then
again,
work
based
learning
and
dual
dual
credit
as
well.
L
Next,
I'd
like
to
talk
to
you
a
little
bit
about
our
workforce
alignment
and,
as
I
said
on
the
local
level,
we
have
advisory
committees
for
all
of
our
programs
in
that
community,
where
we
bring
business
and
industry
people
in
to
guide
us
and
our
curriculum
choices
and
what's
needed
for
our
students.
At
the
state
level,
we
have
the
business,
education
and
alignment
teams
which
are
made
up
of
the
same
type
of
folks
at
the
state
level,
and
we
have
one
for
each
program
area
and
that's
headed
by
one
of
our
program
area
consultants.
L
We
also
partner
with
our
kentucky
workforce
innovation
board
in
order
to
align
our
industry
certification
process
that
we
do
through
through
a
process
where
we
get
requests
from
business
and
other
sources
that
goes
through
committees.
In
our
this,
be
these
beat
committees,
they
evaluate
them,
make
recommendations
to
the
board,
and
then
the
board
decides
whether
those
should
be
added
to
the
list
or
not.
L
I'd
also
like
to
share
just
a
bit
about
ky
stats
and
the
role
they
play
and
what
we're
doing
we're.
Looking
at
the
same
reports,
you
heard
about
earlier
the
future
skills
reports
even
commuting
patterns
data
like
that
that
tells
us
where
people
reside
and
that
and
where
they're
going
to
work
to
help
guide
what
our
schools
curriculum
needs
to
look
like.
L
We
also
take
a
look
at
our
high
school
feedback
feedback
reports
and
cte
feedback
reports
to
see
where
the
students
are
their
outcomes,
which
have
been
very,
very
informative
to
us
and
so
using
that
data
to
inform
what
we
do
when
we
come
to
where
we
are
today
with
the
news
that
we've
had
of
the
increased
job
information
coming
from
the
ford
announcements
and
that's
when
we
take
a
look
and
once
we
get
once
they
decide
what
it
is
exactly
they're
going
to
need
in
these
areas.
Then
that's
where
we
start.
B
We're
really
excited
to
share
with
you
something
that
will
be
coming
soon.
We
are
using
some
of
our
federal
sr
dollars
to
develop
a
statewide
college
and
career
advising
platform.
So
we've
talked
a
lot
about
the
fact
today
that
we
know
the
pipeline
ii
high
demand,
high
skill,
high
age
career
starts
in
k-12
p-12
really,
and
so
we
know
that
the
advising
components
of
that,
as
chairman
caslin
mentioned,
is
so
critically
important.
There
has
to
be
intentional
awareness
and
advising
strategies
in
place
k-12
to
make
students
aware
of
these
opportunities.
B
So
this
is
a
partnership
that
will
exist
between
kde,
the
council
on
post-secondary
education
and
ky
stats.
There
will
be
a
larger
committee
of
institutions
and
other
partners
that
will
come
together,
including
the
office
of
adult
education
and
others.
That
will
help
us
design
this
system,
but
the
idea
is
that
it
becomes
a
one-stop
shop
for
all
learners,
so,
whether
we're
talking
about
k-12
learners,
traditional
post-secondary
or
non-traditional
post-secondary
learners,
there
is
a
place,
a
clearinghouse
where
they
can
go
and
find
all
of
these
resources
for
career
exploration
reports.
B
As
you
mentioned,
some
of
them
from
ky
stats
that
talk
about
demand
and
job
opportunities
and
growth,
we
even
have
reports
on
outcomes
of
our
postsecondary
degrees
and
programs.
So
what
can
a
student
expect
to
earn
or
make
in
a
particular
career,
as
well
as
all
the
program
information
that
exists
across
all
of
our
training
and
education
providers?
B
Affordability,
resources.
So
when
we
talk
kia
and
the
the
know
how
to
go
approach
to
college,
those
things
will
be
embedded
and
then
what
I'm
most
excited
about
is
where
we'll
bring
our
employer
community
to
the
table
and
develop
a
platform
by
which
they
can
virtually
connect
with
students
and
mentor
students,
so
whether
that
be
through
virtual
shadowing
opportunities
or
virtual
work-based
learning,
or
even
just
the
opportunity
to
mentor
and
do
q
and
a
sessions
and
things
like
that
with
learners
who
have
questions
about
the
system.
L
C
L
Just
wanted
to
add
to
that,
you
mentioned
the
early
career
introductions
and
that's
one
thing:
our
office
is
doing
moving
our
career
exploration,
resources
down
to
middle
school
and
even
elementary
and
we've
got
one
a
great
consultant.
That's
been
working
to
develop
those
resources
and
roll
them
out,
but
to
talk
about
our
legislative
priorities.
L
The
summary
of
that
was
that
there's
a
lot
of
work
to
be
done
in
reform
in
governance
and
finance,
because
there's
some
inequities
in
terms
of
access
to
these
programs
and
how
the
funding
is
done.
So
at
this
point,
we're
in
the
process
of
taking
a
look
at
how
that
might
look
with
a
unified
formula
for
all
of
our
career
and
technical
education.
No
matter
where
it's
being
taught
kids
ought
to
have
that
same
opportunity
and
other
ways
of
how
to
expand
those
options.
L
B
B
We
were
one
of
10
states
who
received
the
funding
to
do
transformative,
work
around
career
and
technical
education,
and
one
of
the
requirements
of
that
grant
was
focused
on
marketing
and
branding
cte
opportunities
to
k-12
students,
and
so
it's
from
that
grant
that
we
started
the
work
with
red.
A
marketing
firm
here
in
kentucky
to
help
us
develop
a
new
logo
in
tagline.
You
see
it
in
the
bottom
left-hand
corner
of
our
powerpoint,
slides,
so
kentucky
cte
empowered
is
our
new
logo.
B
We're
really
excited
about
some
of
the
brand
messaging,
that's
being
developed
right
now.
We
have
airtime
that
will
be
coming,
so
we
have
radio
and
tv
ads
that
are
being
developed
to
really
target,
not
just
students,
but
we
know
parents
our
critical
audience
as
well
and
oftentimes,
where
the
stigmas
that
we
mentioned
earlier
still
exist.
B
Unfortunately,
so
we're
really
trying
to
make
sure
we're
reaching
all
audiences
with
our
efforts
and
then
working
internally
with
our
kde
communications
team,
to
develop
a
social
media
campaign
to
to
tell
success
stories
of
cte
students,
as
well
as
doing
some
web
page
and
and
more
visual
graphic
type
of
rework
as
well,
so
very
excited.
I
think
that
the
logos
on
the
last
slide
just
to
kind
of
show
you
some
intentionality,
as
well
with
the
shading
of
the
logo,
so
education
and
employers
partnering
together
to
really
create
that
empowered
cte
system
for
our
students.
B
A
A
We
appreciate
the
presentation
and
the
hard
work
you
all
put
into
it
and
what
you
do
to
affect
all
the
students
lives
and
prepare
them
for
the
workforce
and,
as
our
next
presenters
make
their
way
up
going
back
to
our
first
two
presentations,
you're,
going
to
see
that
our
economics
are
are
booming
here
in
kentucky
over
the
last
10
years,
you
can
send
you
continue
to
see
kentucky
to
be
the
place
that
so
many
businesses
want
to
locate
and
in
the
trickle-down
effect
from
those
things.
And
then
you
know.
A
Eventually
it
gets
to
a
point
to
where
it
sells
itself.
Good
public
policy
that's
been
put
in
place
has
allowed
companies
to
come
to
kentucky
be
competitive.
The
last
thing
that
we
need
to
be
doing
now
as
a
state
is
getting
them
here
and
not
having
the
folks
to
fill
the
positions,
and
I
think
these
are
the
conversations
we're
having
and
at
this
time
the
cabinet
for
economic
development
is
going
to
kind
of
give
us
an
update
on
some
of
those
projects
and
and
what
what
their
needs
are.
C
Good
morning,
thank
you
for
having
us
today.
My
name
is
katie
smith,
I'm
the
deputy
secretary
and
the
commissioner
of
the
department
for
financial
services
here
at
the
cabinet.
Again,
thank
you
for
giving
us
the
opportunity
to
discuss
some
of
the
activities
that
have
been
going
on
here
at
the
cabinet.
E
Thank
you.
So,
as
the
deputy
secretary
said,
I'm
christina
slattery,
I
am
a
part
of
our
business
development
team
and
you
know
happy
to
present
to
you
today
and
and
talk
a
little
bit
about
some
of
the
successes
and
challenges
that
we've
seen
as
as
we've
worked
through
this
past
record-breaking
year.
So
we
will
start
by
talking
a
little
bit
about
the
blue
oval
sk
project.
E
You
know
this
was
an
exciting
opportunity,
obviously,
for
for
the
governor
and
the
commonwealth
to
be
able
to
compete
for
this
and
one
that
was
about
a
year
in
the
making
that
we
had
an
opportunity
to
work
directly
with
the
company.
We
didn't
have
a
consultant.
We
got
to
leverage
those
existing
relationships
that
we
have
with
the
company
to
really
work
through.
What
this
opportunity
is
so
just
as
a
refresher,
the
blue,
oval
sk
has
committed
to
5
000
new
jobs
and
5.8
billion
in
investment
for
this
particular
project.
E
You
know
all
in
one
day
they
announced
both
our
two
battery
facilities.
They're
in
glendale.
Each
of
those
facilities
will
be
43
gigawatt
battery
facilities.
So
those
are,
you
know
some
of
the
largest
projects
that
have
been
announced
to
date
for
these
different
battery
facilities,
and
then
you
know
across
the
border
there
in
memphis,
the
blue
oval
city,
where
there
will
be
another
battery
facility
with
with
an
oem
plant.
E
So
we
are
really
excited
to
continue
having
these
conversations
and
to
bring
this
project
to
fruition
before
we
move
too
much
further,
I
want
to
just
talk
about
2021
year
to
date,
so
these
are
some
of
the
statistics
that
you
typically
hear
us
talking
about
from
it
from
a
cabinet
perspective.
So
these
numbers
are
as
of
probably
two
weeks
ago
and
there
are
more
announcements
that
are
pending
here.
E
On
top
of
this,
so
over
15
000
jobs,
110
new
project
announcements,
over
10
billion
in
new
investment
and
really
what
you
don't
see
here,
is
the
diversity
of
what
makes
up
these
announcements.
So
within
this
you
know,
within
these
numbers,
are
both
new
and
existing
companies
that
have
decided
to
expand.
We
love
our
existing
industry
expansions
because
that
means
that
you
know
they're
continuing
to
grow
and
thrive
and
do
well
in
the
commonwealth,
and
we
we
really
value
those
opportunities.
E
You
know
within
that
two
of
our
larger
companies,
with
both
toyota
and
ge,
having
huge
reinvestment
announcements
to
move
them
into
the
future,
so
really
really
excited
about
those
opportunities,
a
good
mix
of
both
domestic
and
foreign
investment
projects
within
these
numbers-
and
you
know,
type
of
industry.
So
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
different
industries
represented,
but
one
example
that
I
love
is
the
vland
project.
E
So
this
is
a
company,
the
german
company
that
announced
both
a
headquarters
project
in
louisville
and
then
followed
up
with
a
copper
facility
announcement
down
the
road
in
shelbyville.
So
it
gave
us
an
opportunity
to
really
flex
and
show
how
we
can
support
different
types
of
projects
within
just
the
same
company.
So
we
were
really.
You
know
proud
of
that
opportunity
and
others.
E
Other
things
that
you
don't
see
within
these
announcements
are,
I
believe,
three
different
product
development
initiative
projects
where
we
have
matched
local
communities
and
their
efforts
to
develop
sites
for
future
projects
and
expansions
and
our
first
rural
hospital
loan
program.
So
you
know
we
typically
hear
a
lot
about
some
of
the
bigger
larger
announcements,
but
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
the
cabinet
staff
work
with
and
support
from
the
workforce
side
to
site
development.
E
So
you
know,
one
thing
that
we
have
seen
and
we
expected
to
see
and
want
to
continue
to
have
grow
is,
is
that
average
hourly
wage
for
incentivized
projects
is
trending
up
year
over
year
year?
To
date
you
can
see
we
are
at
24
15
an
hour
for
incentivized
projects,
so
those
are
just
projects
that
we
have
worked
with
through
the
kedpa
kentucky
economic
development,
finance
authority
process
and
that's
our
second
highest
year.
E
If
you
look
at
the
back
last
seven
years-
and
really
you
know
the
one
anomaly
there
that's
noted
at
the
bottom
is:
is
our
partner
ups
wonderful
company
a
couple
of
years
ago
hired
several
pilots
that
made
a
very
high
salary
and
and
sort
of
drove
up
that
wage
a
little
bit?
So
that's
that
that's
part
of
the
reason
why
you're
seeing
that
number
a
little
bit
higher
for
for
that
other
for
2019.
E
E
We
do
see
food
and
beverage
continue
and
agritech
continue
to
be
a
top
category
as
well
as
business
and
financial
services.
So
another
reason
why
you're
seeing
some
of
that
average
incentivized
wage
go
higher
with
projects
like
fidelity
and
well
care
again,
companies
that
are
that
are
proving
that
kentucky.
E
While
we
are
an
automotive
manufacturing
state,
we
can
have
success
in
a
lot
of
different
areas
and
really
supply
a
diverse
workforce.
Metals
is
so
tied
in
with
the
automotive
industry.
We
had
a
company
in
yesterday
and
you
know
for
a
site
visit
and
really
the
proximity
to
the
players
like
novelis
and
logan
and
century
and
alaris,
and
you
name
them
are
what
have
had
them.
E
You
know
looking
here
at
kentucky,
so
we
are
very
proud
to
to
continue
to
see
those
existing
metals
industry
grow
like
novelis
that
we
just
were
able
to
celebrate
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
there
in
guthrie
so
ev
and
battery
projects,
obviously
with
the
existing
500
plus
automotive
companies
that
are
already
in
kentucky.
We
are
very
well
suited
to
be
able
to
attract
these
types
of
projects,
and
some
of
that
will
be
new
industry
that
supply
aluminum
foil
to
the
battery
cathode.
E
We
have
learned
a
lot
about
making
batteries
and
the
different
parts
and
pieces
that
go
into
that
and
how
kentucky
industry
can
support
that.
A
lot
of
the
growth
that
we
see.
We
expect
to
come
from
our
existing
industry,
like
firestone,
who
recently
announced
a
project
that
was
directly
tied
to
electric
vehicles,
the
suspension
systems
that
vehicles
need
to
support
those
heavy
batteries
required.
Firestone
to
reinvest
and
grow
there
in
southeast
kentucky,
so
we
really
feel
like
the
opportunity
for
kentucky
to
capitalize
on
this
expanding
ev
market,
we'll
continue
to
to
bear
fruit.
E
E
We
now
have
added
to
our
inventory
a
map
that
shows
seven
battery
suppliers
that
are
going
to
be
within
a
a
day's
drive
so
really
with
one
of
those
right
being
in
the
heart
of
kentucky
and
glendale
and
right,
you
know
southern
in
in
tennessee.
We
expect
to
continue
to
have
suppliers
and
customers
of
of
these
of
blue
oval
and
others
that
are
looking
at
kentucky
power
is
huge.
E
You
know
the
the
energy
needed
to
support
these
projects,
the
megawatt
power
loads
that
we're
seeing
are
are,
unlike
anything,
we've
seen
before,
and
so
our
utility
partners.
It
is
really
critical
that
you
know
we.
We
continue
to
talk
about
how
we're
able
to
support
these
projects
from
a
utility
standpoint.
E
They
want
to
these
companies
want
to
hear
about
how
we
can
help
meet
renewable
goals,
and
the
kentucky
office
of
energy
and
environment
is
is
a
is
our
best
partner
in
having
those
conversations
and
then
kentucky's
low
industrial
electric
rates,
due
to
you
know,
having
a
regulated
state
with
the
public
service.
Commission
is
really
an
asset
for
us
and
a
story
that
we
like
to
tell
so.
Those
are
all
of
the
wonderful
things
that
we
feel
like
we
have
in
our
favor
our
needs.
E
Clearly,
you
know
it's
inventory
number
one
inventory
of
physical
sites
and
buildings
for
these
companies
to
locate
in
we've
got
a
lot
of
communities
that
have
done
some
great
work
developing
sites,
and
you
know
that
we
still
have
of
you
know
a
handful
of
great
sites
out
there
all
across
kentucky
at
a
variety
of
different
sizes.
But
we
need
to
continue
to
to
add
more,
especially
when
companies
want
river
and
rail
and
some
of
those
critical
factors.
E
I
think
you'll
see
our
cabinet
and
others
continuing
to
focus
on
that
site
development
piece
and
then
what
we're
here
to
talk
about
today,
workforce
and
how
do
we
fee?
You
know
how
do
we
support
our
existing
industry
and
these
new
industries
coming
to
kentucky
and
and
being
able
to
find
the
individuals
that
they
need
to
fill
those
jobs?
So
we're
really
in
a
you
know,
a
unique
situation
with
ford
and
sk
blue
oval
sk,
in
that
this
is
going
to
be
a
skill
set
that
we
we
don't
have.
E
A
curriculum
ready
made
for
kctcs,
who
you
heard
from
from
earlier,
has
been
an
amazing
partner
in
standing
with
us
and
saying
we're
ready
to
develop
that
curriculum.
What
does
blue
oval,
sk
need
and
kentucky
is
here
to
be
flexible
and
build
that
so
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
more
later.
You
know.
One
thing
I
wanted
to
highlight:
first,
is
something
that
we
have
been
doing
for
for
years
to
support
existing
and
new
industry,
which
is
through
the
legislative
funds.
E
Bluegrass
state
skills
corporation
as
a
part
of
our
cabinet
awards,
both
grants
and
tax
credits
for
new
and
existing
employees
for
skills
upgrade
training
on
an
annual
basis.
So
this
is
not
training.
That's
just
regulatory
in
nature
that
companies
have
to
give.
We
ask
for
these
companies
to
put
forward
training
plans
that
really
level
up
their
employees
and
you
know,
give
them
a
skill
set
that
they
don't
currently
have
we
favor
companies
that
pay
higher
wages
and
that
are
involved
in
local
economic
development
efforts.
E
So
we're
really
proud
to
to
show
18
000
plus
workers
in
2021
that
have
been
trained
or
impacted
through
these
bluegrass
state
skills
grants
bluegrass
state
skills
is
also
the
organization
that
or
the
board
that
approves
ups
metro
college
grants
and
other
special
allocations
that
come
from
the
legislator,
or
companies
like
like
ford,
so
really
proud
to
have
bssc
as
a
part
of
the
cabinets
organization.
E
So
I
have
for
today's
discussion,
split
up
what
what
types
of
workforce
needs
we're,
seeing,
specifically
working
with
projects
and
companies
on
the
recruitment
side
and
on
the
training
side.
So
you
know
on
the
recruitment
side.
One
thing
that
I
feel
like
all
of
our
workforce
partners
have
been
doing.
E
You've
heard
a
lot
of
conversations
about
branding
and
new
websites
and
how
we
tell
our
story:
kentucky's
got
a
lot
of
wonderful
things
going
on
in
the
workforce
world,
but
we
can
get
bogged
down
by
individual
programs
or
you
know,
entities
and
we
are
working
with
our
workforce
partners
to
tell
that
story
in
a
way
that
we
are
a
united
workforce
front.
So
what
is
kentucky's
workforce
brand?
What
does
that
mean
for
individuals
that
are
not
familiar
with
kentucky
diving
too
deep
into
some
of
those
different
programs
can
be
confusing.
E
So
we
have
a
concerted
effort
to
to
really
tell
that
story
in
a
different
way
that
that
is
unique,
kentucky
unique
to
kentucky
and
our
workforce
partners
have
been
wonderful
to
to
work
with
us
on
that.
Obviously,
talent
attraction
is
huge
and
you
know
that's
what
I
hear
when
I
hear
the
tourism
presentation
that
that
we
had
earlier
today
is
it's
all?
How
do
we
get
people
to
come
to
kentucky?
How
do
we
we
encourage
alumni
to
move
back
to
kentucky?
E
You
know,
I
think
different
states
and
communities
have
done
a
lot
of
creative
things
and
developed
different
programs
and-
and
I
personally
can't
be
an
advocate
for
any
particular
one.
I
think,
though,
that
it's
important
for
us
to
continue
to
think
about
attracting
people
as
well
as
as
new
companies.
E
You
know
one
thing
with
ford
that
was
so
critical
and
blue
oval
was
to
be
flexible
and
creative,
so
the
different
programs
you've
heard
talked
about
earlier
that
are
work
based.
Learning
programs
like
kentucky
fame
and
others
in
my
opinion,
have
been
born
out
of
these
kind
of
creative
and
flexible
conversations.
We
don't
have
a
program
right
now.
That
fits
your
needs.
However,
what
do
you
need
company
x
and-
and
we
can
build
that
for
you,
so
ford
has
been
really
pleased
with
kentucky's
ability
to
say
you
know
we
will
wait
and
see.
E
E
So
dedicating
support
staff
has
been
another
critical
part
of
how
we
communicate
to
projects.
There
are
a
lot
of
people
in
the
workforce
realm
that
can
deliver
a
variety
of
resources
and
services,
and
we
are
all
willing
to
step
back
and
say
here's
your
single
point
of
contact
that
will
usher
you
through
that
process
and
that
is
so
critical
to
companies
for
us
to
be
able
to
do
that
to
to
to
have
someone.
That's
essentially
an
hr
consultant
for
them.
E
That's
a
kentucky
representative
and
that
may
be
from
the
college
from
education
and
workforce,
but
that
is
received
really
well
when
we're
able
to
say
you're
going
to
have
one
person
or
one
organization.
That's
going
to
shepherd
you
through
these
these
different
opportunities,
and
then
you
know
we
just
we
stand
ready
to
have
the
resources
to
support
onboarding.
So
do
we
have
the
ability
for
these
companies
to
list
their
jobs
on
on
a
state
website?
E
Do
we
have
the
ability
to
send
staff
out
to
georgia
to
look
at
sk's
facility
there
or
in
some
cases,
korea,
where
they
make
their
batteries?
It's
all
about
listening
and
being
able
to
be
able
to
respond
and
be
flexible
to
what
these
companies
needs,
and
then
I
can't
speak
enough
about
the
importance
of
diversity
in
in
these
high
end
hiring
practices.
So.
A
I'm
sorry
christy.
This
is
the
chairman
castle.
Here
we've
got
about
a
minute
if
you
can
wrap
it
up
real
quick
because
there's
another
committee
meeting
sorry.
E
No,
no
problem
I'll
go
to
the
next
slide
again.
The
last
thing
that
I'll
say
is
we
we
stand
ready
to
not
just
prescribe
a
program
but
to
listen
to
what
companies
need
and
to
to
develop.
That
and
kctcs
and
the
other
various
workforce
partners
in
education.
Workforce
cabinet
have
done
a
wonderful
job
at
just
you
know,
standing
ready
and
and
listening
to
what
those
companies
needs
are
so
I'll
I'll
stop
there,
because
I
know
we're
close
on
time
and
see
if
there
are
any
questions.
A
Well,
we
appreciate
your
presentation,
it's
exciting,
to
see
all
the
economic
growth
across
kentucky
and,
as
we
can
tell
a
two-hour
long
committee
meeting,
there's
a
great
deal
of
interest
in
in
seeing
our
economy
grow,
supplying
the
skilled,
trained
people
to
fill
these
positions,
and
I
think
it's
going
to
be
something
that
the
general
assembly
takes
a
really
hard
look
at
continuing
to
make
sure
that
we
can
meet
to
the
demands
of
our
companies
and
businesses
across
the
state.
So
this
is
the
final
meeting
of
this
committee
and
we
are
adjourned.
Thank
you.
