4. Documentation of experience with community college advisory committees.
I have attempted to use my knowledge of industry and industrial training to influence decisions relating to technical/vocational training (most recently with the Manufacturing Technology advisory group at TMCC)

5. Documentation of knowledge of local and national job market requirements for a successful career in manufacturing and electronics.
With many years of experience training nationally, I have had frequent discussions with employees from various industries regarding what training has helped them develop skills that advanced their careers. Training and consulting at on-site plants I have been advised (by plant managers, engineers, and HR) what type of skills they wish taught and feel are necessary for an their technical employees.
At TMCC, where my efforts were primarily directed toward building a “relevant and progressive” program, I had just begun to get input from local industry. Classes were tailored to skills required by local industry. Introductory classes were designed not only to provide knowledge of subject matter, but also to help the student obtain high-tech high-wage employment (as an example the IMT110 Intro Electrical final (based on industry standards) covers virtually 100% of the technical questions on the Electrician Civil Service exam (City of Sparks).
