• Clean Energy Industries – Expect at least 60% of the training should be hands-on with similar equipment the workers will experience in the field

• Unique Nacelle Wind Turbine Training System and Hydraulic Hub Trainers will be made available (at a college campus location)

• Ultimate results - hybrid training utilizing industry specific software complemented with hands-on training via the Mobile Learning Labs

• Stackable Short-term certificates and associates degrees

• Target is to serve 850 training participants state-wide

• PCC training will be non-credit “Certificates of Completion”, we’ll direct trainees to Aims Community College or Colorado Mountain College for follow-on cert. or degrees

• Training grant subsidy is capped at $1500/person• Requesting employers pay 50% of the overall training costs

• Unemployed workers are funded at 100%

“Southern Colo Energy Jobs Project”

•Mine Safety Health Administration (MSHA) New Miner Training 32 h•MSHA Miner Refresher Training 8 h•First Responder 40 h•OSHA 32 h•Welding 40-80 h•Mechanical Systems 24-60 h•Electrical Systems 24-60 h•Others upon request TBD

• Then current and emerging needs from the industrial sector for customized short-term technical training was high

• Economic & Workforce Development at PCC needed access to training space

• Campus surplus capacity was at an all time low for technical labs

• ROI was determined to be approximately 18-20 months (based on forecasts)

• The PCC Foundation provided 30% funding support to build a Welding Mobile

• Approx. Cost was $250k (+ a truck to pull the lab $10k)

• Designed and built by Economic & Workforce Development staff

• One-day after completion, the lab was deployed to Sol Vista for it’s first assignment

• Utilization for the first lab was in excess of 90%

• Instructors obtained their CDL

COETC

• Industry demands continued to rise and capacity for on-site delivery was increasing

• Awarded a $2.0m Community Based Job Training Grant through U.S. DOL• Enhance Existing and Develop Entry Level Manufacturing Training Programs• Design and Build (3) additional Mobile Learning Labs• Train 450 people: incumbent and unemployed (674 achieved)

• Based on extensive industry assessment/survey data, labs would have different capabilities

• Industrial Electrical Systems• Industrial Mechanical Systems• Industrial Manufacturing/Machining Systems

• Employed an electro-mechanical design and fab expert to lead the project for (3) labs

More Capacity Needed!

Mobile Lab Training: What’s the Costs?• Typically 6-8 students in a mobile lab setting • Training costs vary by:

• Specific Course Length• Associated Material Expenses • Lab Books & Reference Materials• Travel expenses• Specific Mobile Lab Use• A General Rule-Of-Thumb for Courses at Your Site:

• No Mobile Lab: $25/hr/person (+ travel, min. no. of trainees required)• Mobile Lab: $40/hr/person (+ travel , min. no. of trainees required )

COETC

Example: 6 students/group16 hrs of training = $640 ea

Mobile Lab Training: Logistics?• The EWD Division at PCC Has Two Teams

• Operations Team – handles all pre/post training responsibilities• Training Team – handles all course development, delivery, equipment, etc.

• Scheduling and Logistics is managed through a dedicated software application

• Event Management Systems (EMS)• All Fixed and Mobile Assets• All Instructor Schedules• All Company Specific Training Events

• Provides Real-Time Planning, Load Analysis• Multiple Seats / Multiple Campus Locations

Mobile Learning Labs – 3 New Units• Through a Federal Trade Adjustment Act Grant (TAA) • Three new labs are in the design and build phase:

• Specific to serve the energy industry • Oil, Gas and Mining Industries

• Mechanical Systems• Electrical Systems• Welding Systems• Industry specific training equipment to be included• MSHA safety training

• Deployed from the PCC/SCCC campus in Durango

Est. $300k/unit + 1 Tractor

COETC

Version 3.0

Page 16: Pueblo Community College  Mobile Learning Lab Overview September 6 th ,  2012

Mobile Learning Labs – 3 New Units• Do labs for the Energy Industry Differ from Previous?

• Mechanical MLL - Adds a Helical Screw Compressor Cutaway for training in the Natural Gas Compression

- Adding proportional hydraulic control valves on the Hydraulics Trainer – expands the advanced hydraulics classes - Additional shaft/coupling alignment trainer and adding 2 vibration trainers for more hands on capabilities - Expanding student computers from 3 to 6 stations

• Electrical MLL - Additional types of PLC’s (Control Logix, SLC500, Direct Logic and Siemens)

• Welding MLL - Increasing size of weld booths (6 inches wider) - Moved welders out of booths (to increase student work space)

• All MLL’s - Reducing vibration/noise from generators through use of more sound

dampening materials and “Air Spring” vibration isolation mounts.
