This presentation highlighted event formats like webinars and summits, aligning topics with workforce needs, selecting speakers, and proactive communication. The webinar also emphasized technical support, discouraging no-shows, engaging lunch formats, and incorporating social activities. The presentation stressed post-event actions, including feedback surveys and certificate provision, and promoting continuous improvement
Best Practices and Hard Lessons from the Professional Development Trenches
No full textThese resources, provided by the National Convergence Technology Center, include a presentation slide-deck and two surveys from the spring 2023 Innovations conference in Arizona. The presentation covered key strategies and best practices for successfully planning and delivering a professional development event. The surveys were shared during a breakout session to offer survey question samples - both for "end of event" surveys and also longitudinal impact surveys delivered to attendees 6 to 18 months after the event.&nbsp
Trends Discussions with the BILT
No full textThis video, from the National Convergence Technology Center, is a part of the BILT Spotlight series that showcases essential elements of the BILT (Business and Industry Leadership Team) Model, which helps educators energize their relationship with employers and better align curriculum with workforce needs. These short videos feature testimonials from both educators and employers who explain how the BILT works and share their perspective on the value of using a BILT. This episode focuses on the importance of BILT trends meetings, which discuss current and future trends in industry in order to keep curricula relevant, alongside how to manage these meetings.This video runs 5:39 minutes in length. Additional videos from the series are available to view separately

No full textThis presentation was provided by the National Convergence Technology Center (CTC) to attendees of the July 2023 Summer Working Connections professional development event. During this video, presenter Joey Bryant from Forsyth Technical Community College explains how the college developed a cross-disciplinary capstone program to better prepare students for the workforce. This video runs 23:19 minutes in length.&nbsp
IT Flexible Apprenticeship Program Resources
No full textThis 62-page resource, provided by Columbus State Community College, includes multiple presentations directed towards students at the IT Flexible Apprenticeship (ITFA) orientation, employer networking night, and throughout centralized hiring process. The ITFA program is designed to provide a direct, accessible, and affordable pathway to the IT industry. ITFA students first connect with an employer and then take technical skills classes curated to their positions, allowing for the direct application of in-class skills once students begin their apprenticeships. The presentations provide a wide array of information from the ITFA-related events, including the program's timeline, tips for success, resources for students, event schedules, and more
Learning Activities 4.1: Demonstrations of the Boyleâs Law Phenomena in Vacuum Systems
No full textThis 10-page learning activity was published by Erie Community College and is from the Introduction to Vacuum Technology Student and Instructor Laboratory Manuals that accompany the Introduction to Vacuum Technology E-Book. This activity has students:Qualitatively investigate the relationship between changes in gas pressure and the volume the gas occupies when the prevailing temperature condition of the system remains constant (Boyle's law).Utilize a Rough Vacuum Equipment Trainer (RVET) system with a chamber to hold different objects in a space that experiences changes in pressure.The activity includes a summary of learning activities, learning objectives, theoretical background, the learning activity procedures, and more. The E-book, laboratory manuals, other learning activities, and related videos are available to view separately
Learning Activities 7.1 - 7.3: Vacuum Pump-down Curves and Vacuum Pump-down Time
No full textThis 9-page learning activity is from the Introduction to Vacuum Technology Student and Instructor Laboratory Manuals that accompany the Introduction to Vacuum Technology E-Book published by Erie Community College. The activity has students obtain pressure vs time pump-down curves during rough vacuum system operation with and without an outgassing source, determine a system's pump-down time from its pump-down curve, compare the plots on pump-down curves to identify differences in the system's pump-down behaviors.A summary of learning activities, learning objectives, a suggested pre-lab assignment, theoretical background, the activity procedure, and more are included. Student learning outcomes include:Perform a rough vacuum system sequence of operations for pump-down and venting cycles.Collect pressure measurement data at prescribed time intervals over a specified period of time.Create pump-down curves using pressure vs time measurement data.Determine the vacuum system's pump-down time from the pump-down curve.Identify changes in the pump-down curve due to the presence of an outgassing source.Identify changes in the pump-down time due to the presence of an outgassing source.The E-book, laboratory manuals, other learning activities, and related videos are available to view separately
Viral Gene Delivery and Evaluation by Flow Cytometry
No full textThis 12-page resource, from Frederick Community College, is a standard operating procedure (SOP) for viral gene delivery and evaluation by flow cytometry. The SOP outlines the purpose, scope, definitions, references, safety measures, responsibilities, materials, and equipment involved in the procedure. Step-by-step procedures are included for transduction of mammalian cells with the gene for green fluorescence protein (GFP) using adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector and subsequent evaluation of transduction efficiency using flow cytometry.Procedure steps include: transduction preparation, transduction of HEK293 cells, cytometer setup and calibration, starting up the cytometer, preparing for instrument QC, running instrument QC, preparation of transduced samples, setting up the acquisition parameters on the cytometer, creating sample gating strategy on the cytometer, sample acquisition, data analysis, and exporting the data. Detailed steps are included
