Committee and Staff Reports (Workshop Only) Subject : 7.3 Triumph Gulf Coast-OCSD/Hsu Educational Foundation/NWFSC Partnership, presented by April Branscome, Specialist, Career & Technical Education Meeting : Mar 7, 2019 - Workshop Meeting Type : Information Public Content Dr. Paul Hsu and the Hsu Educational Foundation will be submitting a project request to Triumph Gulf Coast. The proposal will be a collaborative project between the Hsu Educational Foundation, Northwest Florida State College and the Okaloosa County School District (OCSD), and will be a stimulus for transforming the local economy in meeting the talent demand determined by the NWF Forward Regional Strategy economic transformation. The Okaloosa County School District's portion of the Hsu Educational Foundation proposal is as follows: Creation of Advanced Manufacturing Academy located in the Bob Sikes Center of Excellence facility in partnership with Northwest Florida State College; and, Co-location, expansion and modernization of the Applied Cybersecurity, Engineering, and Robotics programs on the campus of Crestview High School. Triumph Gulf Coast funds through the Hsu Educational Foundation will provide for 1) an off-site Advanced Manufacturing Academy (Bob Sikes Center of Excellence) and 2) allow for the co-location of the three programs at Crestview High School, where each program will have a classroom and a lab to instruct in an industry-standard environment. Having co-located classrooms and updated equipment will provide a professional learning environment and will expose students to a more rigorous, industry-based curriculum. Through the increase of hands-on instruction in the new updated programs, students will be better able to make informed decisions about high-skill, high-wage and high-demand career training programs. Students in these programs will have the required knowledge to go directly into the workforce or continue on to a postsecondary program. This proposal will significantly increase the District’s ability to support the technical workforce needs of current and future industry in our region. Triumph Gulf Coast funding will allow the programs to grow additional educational opportunities for students through state-of-the art classrooms and lab facilities. The certifications earned through this proposal will prepare students to continue their postsecondary education at the Bob Sikes Center of Excellence. Advanced Manufacturing Academy* The Triumph Gulf Coast request will assist in creating a high school Advanced Manufacturing Program to be located in the Bob Sikes Center of Excellence facility in partnership with Northwest Florida State College (NWFSC). The Advanced Manufacturing program will be a hands-on, project-based learning environment that will develop the technical skills required to meet industry demand and build a long- term talent supply in our region. The program will be established with state-of-the-art training stations designed to prepare high school students for entering the workforce pipeline or the Airframe and Powerplant Dual Enrollment
