Advance Competitiveness

Internships
Hands-on learning experiences for college and university students across the state
10,000 internships
Since our business started 3 years ago we have been looking for internship opportunities to participate in. The Neilson Foundation program allowed us to hire 2 summer employees at a fair wage, thus allowing them to expand (and live by) their skill sets. It was good for the companys morale, good for the interns career paths, and good for me. I learned as much from them as they from me. Mitch Blessing, Creative Director Design Angler, Inc., Bemidji, MN

It helped me decide what I want to do with my life what path I want to take in the design world. Katrina Broten, Bemidji State University Graphic Design Intern, Design Anglers Bemidji, MN Summer 2012 12

Advance Competitiveness

Internships
$12 million in state funding matched by $12 million in employer funding Funds will be used for student stipends Support for both credit and non-credit internships

Accountability: $3 million in FY2014 in private and employer matching funds will be secured before FY2015 funds are released

13

Advance Competitiveness

Leveraged equipment
Train students on state-of-the-art equipment and technology
Fund purchase of equipment students will encounter in the workplace

The ability to leverage our companys resources in helping Southeast Technical to procure state of the art technology and equipment is critical in these difficult financial times. By working together through this program we have been able to help Southeast stretch their limited resources for the direct benefit to students which in turn has helped our company find additional resources for scholarship development. - Don Peterson, Owner Mississippi Welders Supply Company

Advance Competitiveness

Educational innovation examples across Minnesota

Online labs, like Pamm Tranbys at Riverland Community College, let placebound nursing students create DNA strings in their own kitchens.
In flipped classrooms like Jason Carlsons at St. Cloud Technical and Community College, biology students watch online lectures and take notes before coming to classalready prepared for activity and deeper learning. At Metropolitan State University, faculty work with the universitys instructional design and technology team to ensure that all of their online and hybrid courses provide full accessibility to students with disabilities. English instructor Debi Whited at Normandale Community College bridges the digital divide for students from underserved communities, with guided online journals, grammar games, and lots of peer exchange.
17 Advance Competitiveness

Faculty-driven educational innovations

$8 million to accelerate implementation of innovative teaching and learning processes proven to increase student success Dedicated campus teams to train and assist faculty in creating and implementing technology-integrated, applied learning experiences Each campus customizes the innovations to meet their unique needs Accountability: By 2017, the related-employment rates of graduates will increase by 3.5 percent, from 80.9 percent to 84.4 percent

"As far as trends, we see an ongoing need to continue to hire electrical and mechanical engineers because of two reasons. We have engineers that are going to be retiring, and also because of growth. If we see growth in our business in the next five years, we're going to have to hire more people. I don't see that changing. It is kind of a tight market. We anticipate a continued need for electrical mechanics." - Employer from Alexandria

"Certainly in acute care our goal is to have a much higher percentage of bachelor prepared nurses." - Employer from St. Cloud workforce meeting on Healthcare

Realign secondary and post-secondary education

1. Align assessment system with measures of readiness for post-secondary education. 2. If students are not on track to being ready for postsecondary education, provide targeted support while students are in high school. 3. When high school students are ready for post- secondary, increase opportunities for them to earn post-secondary credits earlier. 4. Better align students educational plans with workforce needs.
40 Accelerate Completion

Competitive compensation
$34 million to fund approximately one-third of compensation increases for MnSCU faculty and staff. Student tuition revenue and the reallocation of existing resources will fund the remaining twothirds.
