SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve Renewal Agreements for Educational Services with Building Trades Apprenticeship/Pre-Apprenticeship Committees, Aparicio-Levy Technical Center and Learey Technical Center, 2012/2013 (Curriculum and Instruction Division)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
We request approval of the renewal educational agreements to continue to provide training for 13 building trades apprenticeship committees and one pre-apprenticeship committee.

For more than 20 years, the district has had active educational agreements with the building trades apprenticeship committees for adult job training programs. During the 2011/2012 school year, approximately 860 apprentices attended classes through Aparicio-Levy and Learey technical centers.

Continued on attachment.

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
• Challenge and support all students with an appropriate curriculum
FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted:  No)
Estimated funds of $1,681,800 will be included in the divisional general operating budget. The apprenticeship training programs generate Workforce Education funds that cover all district direct and indirect expenses for the programs.
EVALUATION
The quality of the programs is evaluated annually for compliance with the Commission on Occupational Education, the Florida Department of Education, and the Federal Bureau of Apprenticeship Training; student achievement is evaluated by the number of OCPs earned.
