As a replacement of an existing skills certificate, the Technical Theater Level 1 certificate of achievement will continue meet the objectives and conditions of higher education and community college education. This career and technical education certificate that leads to jobs in the industry directly aligns with the college mission to “empower students from the diverse communities it serves to achieve their educational and career goals by providing learner-centered pathways to success through transfer, career and technical education, and foundational skills programs.”
The Educational and Strategic Master Plan calls for improving college effectiveness through ongoing and systematic cycles of improvement that accomplish the college mission and educational strategic plan. A state-approved certificate will improve student choices for educational objectives and job opportunities. The creation of a new certificate increases student success by providing support and guidance to promote student completion of degrees, certificates, and transfer-readiness.
As the college is already offering a similar program (Technical Theater Level 1 skills certificate) faculty are available to teach this program and no additional resources are required.
Ongoing program review demonstrates continuous efforts in quality improvement, including periodic review of institution set standards for student achievement, which includes statistical information regarding completions of certificates and job placements. This certificate of achievement qualifies students for careers in technical theater and related industries and will continue to support job placements in the industry.
