and benefits for the QEP’s administrative team are included in the QEP budget. Staff compensation has been included to provide stipends for faculty assisting with course redesign. In addition, funding has been included to cover the cost of the Aspire to be Hired’s professional development activities, including guest speakers, travel funds, and the cost of workshop series and forums.
Over the past two years, NCTC has researched, analyzed data, defined goals and objectives, and developed activities to enhance the employability skills of our students. Faculty, staff, administration, business/industry, community leaders and organizations, and the Board of Regents support the goals of Aspire to be Hired. They will provide sufficient human, financial, and physical capital to sustain the proposed project over the next five years. Personnel, professional development, and implementation/assessment comprise a majority of the budget. Aspire to be Hired will use existing classrooms, lecture halls, and computer labs to carry out the project. Office space and technology was provided to the QEP Director. Aspire to be Hired faculty will have access to workspace and computers to develop their courses.
The QEP budget also includes some of the support services costs provided to Aspire to be Hired students, including costs attributable to academic and student support such as career services, academic advising, libraries, computer labs, and tutoring services. Other departmental support staff will assist the director, faculty, and advisors with their duties to provide the needed support and outreach to Aspire to be Hired students.
NCTC recognizes that implementing the QEP will require a significant commitment from faculty. Salaries
