Workforce Education Advisory Committees at Austin Community College consist of representatives from various businesses and industries who advise the college regarding curriculum, instructor qualifications, and the necessary equipment and facilities. Their goal is to ensure that graduates possess the skills required for employment. These committees play a crucial role in facilitating meaningful participation from the business and industry sectors in the creation and revision of educational programs. Their main objectives include helping college personnel document the necessity for workforce education programs and ensuring that these programs have sufficient resources and a well-structured curriculum. This is essential for equipping students with the skills, knowledge, and behaviors needed to meet the demands of the workforce effectively. Each committee concentrates on a specific workforce education program or a cluster of closely related programs.
