NATIONAL CENTER FOR NEXT GENERATION MANUFACTURING -RECENT STUDIES HAVE HIGHLIGHTED THE NATION'S INCREASING NEED FOR A SKILLED WORKFORCE IN ADVANCED MANUFACTURING. FOR EXAMPLE, A 2018 STUDY BY DELOITTE AND THE MANUFACTURING INSTITUTE CONCLUDED THAT OVER THE NEXT DECADE, THE U.S. WILL NEED TO FILL MORE THAN 4.6 MILLION MANUFACTURING JOBS. THE STUDY FURTHER PREDICTS THAT MORE THAN HALF OF THESE JOBS WILL GO UNFILLED DUE TO GAPS IN THE SKILLS OF POTENTIAL WORKERS. WITH THIS AWARD, TUNXIS COMMUNITY COLLEGE WILL WORK WITH PARTNERS FROM INDUSTRY, BUSINESS ASSOCIATIONS, PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATIONS, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, AND EDUCATORS TO DEVELOP THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR NEXT GENERATION MANUFACTURING, WHICH WILL HELP THE NATION MEET ITS ADVANCED MANUFACTURING WORKFORCE NEEDS. THE CENTER WILL BE ORGANIZED ACCORDING TO INDUSTRY 4.0 AND WILL INCLUDE TECHNOLOGY TEAMS FOR NEXT GENERATION MANUFACTURING SUB-SECTORS, SUCH AS DESIGN, FABRICATION, PROCESSING, SUPPLY CHAIN, LOGISTICS, AND QUALITY CONTROL. IN ADDITION, THE CENTER WILL INCLUDE NEXT GENERATION MANUFACTURING APPLICATIONS, SUCH AS CYBERSECURITY, BIOMANUFACTURING, AND RESOURCE-EFFICIENT MANUFACTURING. THE CENTER WILL BE GUIDED BY NATIONAL LEADERS FROM OTHER ADVANCED TECHNOLOGICAL EDUCATION CENTERS AND PROJECTS, AS WELL AS BY NATIONAL EQUITY ASSOCIATIONS, SUCH AS THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR PARTNERSHIPS IN EQUITY. THROUGH THIS GUIDANCE, THE CENTER AIMS TO IDENTIFY SUCCESSFUL STRATEGIES FOR RECRUITING AND RETAINING PEOPLE FROM UNDERREPRESENTED COMMUNITIES IN THE NEXT GENERATION MANUFACTURING WORKFORCE. THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR NEXT GENERATION MANUFACTURING HAS FOUR GOALS: 1) ENHANCE AND SOLIDIFY RELATIONSHIPS AND COMMUNICATION AMONG EDUCATORS, BUSINESSES, INDUSTRY, GOVERNMENT, MILITARY, TRADE ASSOCIATIONS, AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGENCIES TO BROADEN AND STRENGTHEN EFFORTS TO PREPARE QUALIFIED ADVANCED MANUFACTURING TECHNICIANS; 2) IMPLEMENT A REPOSITORY OF EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS THAT INTEGRATES INDUSTRY-DRIVEN COMPETENCIES NEEDED TO SUPPORT INDUSTRY 4.0 AND EMERGING LEARNING TECHNOLOGIES INCLUDING THE USE OF OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES AND ONLINE METHODOLOGIES; 3) SUPPORT PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR EDUCATORS TO IMPLEMENT PROMISING PRACTICES TO ADDRESS CURRENT AND FUTURE NEXT GENERATION MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY COMPETENCIES; AND 4) SUPPORT A DIVERSE TECHNICIAN WORKFORCE THROUGH REGIONAL OUTREACH, RECRUITMENT, MENTORING, AND DISSEMINATION INITIATIVES. DETAILED ACTIVITIES ARE PLANNED TO SUPPORT EACH GOAL, INCLUDING: PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF EDUCATORS TO ENSURE THAT THE DEVELOPED RESOURCES ARE USED EFFECTIVELY; MENTORING TO SUPPORT EDUCATION AND INDUSTRY PARTNERSHIPS SUCH AS THE NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED BUSINESS & INDUSTRY LEADERSHIP TEAM MODEL; INITIATING PROJECTS WITH MANUFACTURING EXTENSION PARTNERSHIPS AND MANUFACTURING USA INSTITUTES; PURSUING AND PILOTING APPRENTICESHIP MODELS BY THE CENTER?S EDUCATORS; STRENGTHENING CAREER PATHWAYS BETWEEN HIGH SCHOOLS, COMMUNITY COLLEGES, FOUR-YEAR UNIVERSITIES AND INDUSTRY BY IDENTIFICATION OF INDUSTRY-RECOGNIZED CREDENTIALS AND DISSEMINATING SUCCESSFUL EDUCATIONAL MODELS THAT INCLUDE MULTIPLE ENTRY AND EXIT POINTS FOR BOTH CERTIFICATE AND DEGREE COMPLETION; EXPLORING AND SHARING EMERGING TRENDS SUCH AS THE FUTURE OF WORK TO GUIDE EDUCATORS AS THEY DESIGN INDUSTRY-DRIVEN CURRICULUM; AND ADDRESSING THE IMPACT OF AUTOMATION, THE INTERNET OF THINGS, AND CYBERSECURITY IN NEXT GENERATION MANUFACTURING THROUGH WEBINARS, PODCASTS AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOPS. CENTER ACTIVITIES ARE EXPECTED TO CREATE A NATIONAL COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE THAT IS AGILE, SUPPORTS INNOVATION, AND EDUCATES THE 21ST CENTURY ADVANCED MANUFACTURING WORKFORCE NEEDED FOR COMPANIES TO BE GLOBALLY COMPETITIVE. THIS PROJECT IS FUNDED BY THE ADVANCED TECHNOLOGICAL EDUCATION PROGRAM THAT FOCUSES ON THE EDUCATION OF TECHNICIANS FOR THE ADVANCED-TECHNOLOGY FIELDS THAT DRIVE THE NATION?S ECONOMY. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.- SUBAWARDS ARE NOT PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.

MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS TRAINING IN WESTERN CONNECTICUT (MHAT-WCT) - MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS TRAINING IN WESTERN CONNECTICUT (MHAT-WCT) IS A STRATEGIC REGIONAL PARTNERSHIP THAT WILL SUPPORT AND ACHIEVE POSITIVE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH OUTCOMES FOR PERSONS OF ALL AGES WITH MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS, PARTICULARLY SERIOUS MENTAL ILLNESS (SMI) AND SERIOUS EMOTIONAL DISTURBANCE (SED). SERVICES WILL BE FOCUSED IN 43 WESTERN CT COMMUNITIES IN DMHAS REGION 5, ALIGNED WITH PROJECT PARTNERS’ CATCHMENT AREA. CLINICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THIS AREA INCLUDE LACK OF ACCESS TO LICENSED AFFORDABLE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES; INCREASED OPIOID ADDICTION AND OTHER SUBSTANCE/ MULTI-SUBSTANCE USE; INCREASED SUICIDE AND STIGMA AMONG VETERANS AND MILITARY FAMILIES; INCREASED DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY AMONG YOUTH AND ADOLESCENTS; OVERALL INCREASE IN MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES DUE TO COVID-19. PRIMARY INDIVIDUALS TO RECEIVE TRAINING ARE (1) FUTURE HEALTH PROFESSIONALS: THOSE STUDYING/ TRAINING TO BECOME PROVIDERS OF MEDICAL CARE. (2) SERVICE PROVIDERS AND CAREGIVERS WHO INTERSECT WITH THOSE ABUSING/ AT RISK OF ABUSING SUBSTANCES. (3) TEACHERS AND RELEVANT SCHOOL PERSONNEL, ESPECIALLY PARAPROFESSIONALS, CLASSROOM ASSISTANTS, AND PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS. (4) FAMILIES, CAREGIVERS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS IN CONTACT WITH ARMED SERVICES MEMBERS AND VETERANS, AND THEIR FAMILIES. (5) GENERAL PUBLIC: DIVERSE INDIVIDUALS FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE REQUESTING MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS TRAINING. EDADVANCE, AN EXPERIENCED LEADER IN THE COLLABORATIVE IMPLEMENTATION OF HIGH-QUALITY EDUCATION, HEALTH, AND HUMAN SERVICE PROGRAMS TO MEET IDENTIFIED NEEDS AND SERVICE GAPS IN WESTERN CT, WILL COLLABORATE WITH PROJECT PARTNERS STRATEGICALLY POSITIONED TO PROVIDE TRAINING, OUTREACH, AND REFERRALS, AND TREATMENT TO THE PRIMARY POPULATIONS OF FOCUS: APEX COMMUNITY CARE, WESTERN CT COALITION, AND GREENWOODS REFERRAL & COUNSELING SERVICES. THE PROJECT’S POPULATION OF FOCUS INCLUDES: 1) INDIVIDUALS WITH/AT RISK OF SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER; 2) THOSE WITH CO-OCCURRING DISORDERS (I.E., SUBSTANCE USE/MENTAL ILLNESS); 3) VETERANS, ARMED SERVICES MEMBERS, AND THEIR FAMILIES; 4) SCHOOL-AGE YOUTH AND ADOLESCENTS; 5) GENERAL PUBLIC. THE OVERRIDING PROJECT GOAL IS TO IMPROVE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH OUTCOMES FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS, PARTICULARLY SMI AND SED, BY INCREASING COMMUNITY AND SCHOOL CAPACITY FOR EARLY DETECTION AND INITIATION OF APPROPRIATE REFERRALS TO MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. THROUGH THE DELIVERY OF 85 EBP TRAINING WORKSHOPS, MHAT-WCT WILL TRAIN 2,040 INDIVIDUALS TO RECOGNIZE THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES; INCREASE LINKAGES WITH LICENSED MENTAL HEALTH AGENCIES TO REFER INDIVIDUALS TO SERVICES; INCREASE MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS; REDUCE STIGMA; AND EDUCATE ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES. WE WILL TRAIN 18 INSTRUCTORS TO PROVIDE 4 EBP TRAININGS: MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID FOR ADULTS, MHFA FOR VETERANS, YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID, AND QUESTION, PERSUADE, AND REFER (QPR). WE WILL REFER AT LEAST 300 INDIVIDUALS TO APPROPRIATE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, PUBLISH AND DISTRIBUTE 4,000 PROJECT REGIONAL MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES & REFERRALS BROCHURES, INCREASE WEB PRESENCE WITH LINKS TO BROCHURE ON 10 REGIONAL AGENCY WEBSITES, AND EXPAND REFERRAL NETWORKS TO 10 COMMUNITY OR SCHOOL-BASED MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES FOR REFERRALS.

NEXT GENERATION MANUFACTURING RESOURCE CENTER -THE DEVELOPMENT OF A DIVERSE, GLOBALLY COMPETITIVE ADVANCED MANUFACTURING WORKFORCE IS CRITICAL TO US STABILITY AND GROWTH. MAJOR AREAS OF FOCUS FOR THE REGIONAL CENTER FOR NEXT GENERATION MANUFACTURING (RCNGM) HAVE BEEN TO CHANGE NEGATIVE PERCEPTIONS OF MANUFACTURING CAREERS AND TO INCREASE THE PARTICIPATION AND SUCCESS OF HISTORICALLY UNDERREPRESENTED MINORITIES, WOMEN, AND VETERANS IN THE TECHNICAL WORKFORCE. RCNGM HAS CREATED NATIONALLY-RECOGNIZED MATERIALS FOR EDUCATORS, CAREER COUNSELORS, STUDENTS, AND PARENTS THAT FOCUS ON CHOOSING COMMUNITY COLLEGES AS A NEXT STEP TO HIGH PAYING CAREERS IN MANUFACTURING. WITH SUPPORT OF THIS AWARD, RCNGM PLANS TO ESTABLISH AN NSF ATE RESOURCE CENTER. RCNGM WILL BROADEN ITS PARTNERSHIPS BY EXPANDING COMMUNITY COLLEGE/INDUSTRY PARTNERSHIPS THROUGHOUT THE NORTHEAST, SPECIFICALLY IN MASSACHUSETTS, MAINE, NEW HAMPSHIRE, RHODE ISLAND, VERMONT, AND BY PARTNERING WITH THE NATIONAL COALITION FOR ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY CENTERS AND THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR WORKFORCE IMPROVEMENT. THE RCNGM RESOURCE CENTER WILL PROVIDE EXEMPLARY RESOURCES FOR ADVANCED MANUFACTURING ONLINE LEARNING VIA ONLINE TOOLS (WEBSITE, WEBINARS, AND SOCIAL MEDIA), AS WELL AS THROUGH REGIONAL AND NATIONAL PROFESSIONAL CONFERENCES THAT ENGAGE THE RCNGM'S STAKEHOLDERS. THESE RESOURCES WILL ASSIST CURRENT AND PROSPECTIVE PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATORS TO IDENTIFY AND IMPLEMENT SUCCESSFUL MATERIALS AND STRATEGIES FOR CREATING CAREER PATHWAYS THAT INCLUDE CERTIFICATES AND DEGREES THAT INCLUDE STACKABLE CREDENTIALS AND MULTIPLE ENTRY/EXIT POINTS. THE RESOURCE CENTER WILL ALSO FOSTER INDUSTRY, BUSINESS, AND ACADEMIC PARTNERSHIPS BY INCREASING THE AVAILABILITY AND VARIETY OF EXEMPLARY, INDUSTRY-DRIVEN ADVANCED MANUFACTURING CURRICULA THAT EMPHASIZE BOTH TECHNICAL AND PROFESSIONAL SKILLS. THE RESOURCE CENTER WILL PROMOTE ADVANCED MANUFACTURING CAREERS WITH A FOCUS ON MODERNIZING THE IMAGE OF MANUFACTURING CAREERS AND DISSEMINATING SUCCESSFUL MODELS FOR RECRUITING AND RETAINING STUDENTS IN ADVANCED MANUFACTURING. FINALLY, THE RESOURCE CENTER WILL COORDINATE AND SUPPORT REGIONAL AND NATIONAL INDUSTRY, BUSINESS, AND ACADEMIC PARTNERSHIPS THAT HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO CREATE A SUSTAINABLE NETWORK FOR ADVANCING MANUFACTURING PROGRAMS AT COMMUNITY COLLEGES NATIONWIDE. THIS PROJECT IS FUNDED BY THE NSF ADVANCED TECHNOLOGICAL EDUCATION PROGRAM THAT FOCUSES ON THE EDUCATION OF TECHNICIANS FOR THE ADVANCED-TECHNOLOGY FIELDS THAT DRIVE THE NATION'S ECONOMY. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TO ENHANCE SKILLS OF MANUFACTURING INSTRUCTORS -THE NEED FOR SKILLED MANUFACTURING TECHNICIANS HAS LED TO EXPANSION OF QUALITY MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY PROGRAMS IN COMMUNITY COLLEGES. STATE FUNDING AND A US DEPARTMENT OF LABOR TRADE ADJUSTMENT ASSISTANCE COMMUNITY COLLEGE CAREER TRAINING GRANT PROVIDED CONNECTICUT COMMUNITY COLLEGES WITH THE FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT TO EXPAND THEIR MANUFACTURING PROGRAMS AND SERVE MORE STUDENTS. THE ATE REGIONAL CENTER FOR NEXT GENERATION MANUFACTURING HAS SUPPORTED PROGRAM AND CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT IN THIS AREA. IN ADDITION, IT HAS SUPPORTED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR CURRENT FACULTY AND INSTRUCTORS ACROSS THE STATE AND NEW ENGLAND. HOWEVER, THE RATE OF EXPANSION INDUSTRY'S NEED FOR SKILLED TECHNICIANS HAS EXCEEDED THE ABILITY OF THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES TO FIND QUALIFIED INSTRUCTORS WHO HAVE BOTH INDUSTRY AND EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE. MANY POTENTIAL INSTRUCTORS HAVE OVER TWENTY YEARS OF INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE BUT LACK THE SKILLS ASSOCIATED WITH DIFFERENT METHODOLOGIES USED IN CLASSROOM TEACHING AND COURSE MANAGEMENT, INCLUDING ASSESSMENT. FACULTY NEED EXPERTISE ON METHODS THAT INTEGRATE PROFESSIONAL SKILLS INTO CLASSROOMS AND LABORATORIES. THIS SKILLS FOR MANUFACTURING INSTRUCTORS PROJECT WILL ADDRESS THESE NEEDS FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR COMMUNITY COLLEGE MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY INSTRUCTORS. THE PROJECT WILL ENGAGE ALL TWELVE CONNECTICUT PUBLIC COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND THEIR ADVANCED MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY CENTERS. THE PROJECT WILL DEVELOP MODULES AND A NEW COURSE THAT WILL PROVIDE FACULTY WITH THE SKILLS NEEDED TO ENHANCE THEIR TEACHING EFFECTIVENESS, IMPROVE CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT, DEVELOP HIGH QUALITY STUDENT ASSESSMENTS OF LEARNING, AND STRATEGIES TO INCREASE STUDENT PERSISTENCE. THE PROPOSED COURSE AND MODULES WILL ASSIST NEWLY HIRED MANUFACTURING TECHNICIANS FROM INDUSTRY AS WELL AS PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR CURRENT INSTRUCTORS TO LEARN NEW TEACHING METHODOLOGIES IN A HIGHER EDUCATION ACADEMIC ENVIRONMENT. ADDITIONALLY, THE PROJECT WILL ORGANIZE TWO WORKSHOPS ANNUALLY ON ESSENTIAL TECHNICAL SKILLS FOR THE MANUFACTURING INSTRUCTORS AND FACULTY, AS WELL AS PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR CERTIFICATION IN WIDELY USED TECHNOLOGIES. EXAMPLES OF CERTIFICATIONS THAT WOULD BE SUPPORTED ARE THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR METALWORKING SKILLS, SOLIDWORKS COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN SOFTWARE, AND SME'S ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING CERTIFICATION. ADDITIONAL WORKSHOPS WILL BE OFFERED THAT PROVIDE STRATEGIES FOR INCREASING THE PERSISTENCE OF UNDERREPRESENTED POPULATIONS IN THE MANUFACTURING PROGRAMS. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.
