After a college-wide vote between four different possible topics, the ACC community has chosen \u201cDigital Fluency for Today\u2019s Jobs<\/strong>\u201d as our QEP topic. See full details below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The focus of this project will be to provide a short-term, stackable, four-course Occupational Skills Award (OSA) that offers high-demand, digital workforce competencies in a shorter, skill-focused, work-relevant manner to support student access, retention, and completion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It was an Academic Master Plan proposal that ties into our current planning through ACC\u2019s Strategic Plan goal 1, Equity & Access, by attracting a diverse population of students and also providing equitable opportunities for our diverse student population. Additionally, it supports goal 3, Completion and Transition to Employment\/Transfer, by providing marketable digital skills relevant to today\u2019s workforce requirements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It will address student success\/learning by allowing students to develop the initial skills and knowledge at their own pace allowing for time and development of proficiencies in today\u2019s workforce technologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The key interventions will be courses offered online and in ACC\u2019s ACCelerators aimed at providing marketable digital skills for any student. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The key group implementing this work will be the computer science department. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We hope you\u2019ll be excited about this topic because it impacts all students who are digitally challenged\u2013from the high school student to the parent or grandparent, to the unemployed, underemployed. Anyone in need of upskilling their digital skills can benefit from this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Watch this video to learn more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
