CO Code § 23-60-1001 (2021)
2021 Colorado Code|Title 23 - Postsecondary Education|Article 60 - Community Colleges and Occupational Education|Part 10 - Manufacturing Career Pathway|§ 23-60-1001. Legislative Declaration

  The general assembly hereby finds and declares that:   Manufacturing plays a vital role in Colorado's economy;    The manufacturing sector in Colorado is diverse, with employers distributed across the state;    Over five thousand nine hundred manufacturing firms employ more than one hundred twenty thousand employees and contribute over sixteen billion dollars annually to Colorado's economy; and    Both durable and consumable goods are manufactured in Colorado, including products such as medical instruments, semiconductors and other information technology products, plastics, aviation equipment components, chemicals, and food products requiring specialized processes.       The general assembly further finds that:   The promise and challenge of sustaining growth in Colorado's manufacturing sector presents special difficulties due to the scope and diversity of the industry;    Manufacturing sector employers have increased reliance on automated and computer-integrated control processes and “lean” manufacturing principles;    Workers in this employment environment need foundational knowledge, specialized skills, portable production skills, as well as flexibility and adaptability in work habits;    This has resulted in a shortfall in the quantity and quality of the pool of workers who can succeed in the manufacturing sector; and    Because manufacturing in Colorado is a dynamic and evolving economic engine for the state, the challenges in preparing a pipeline of skilled employees to work in the manufacturing sector must be addressed, and current and future Colorado workers must be aware of the opportunities in the industry and the career pathway to achieve employment in the manufacturing sector.       Therefore, the general assembly finds and declares that developing a manufacturing career pathway for Colorado citizens will:   Increase the number of Colorado citizens accessing postsecondary education;    Increase the number of Colorado citizens completing degrees and other credentials;    Decrease the need for remediation at the postsecondary level;    Increase entry into employment and increase wages over time; and    Create better transitions in educational programs for students in the manufacturing career pathway from high school to college, from adult education to postsecondary credit, and from community colleges to four-year institutions of higher education or into employment.

  No later than the 2014-15 academic year, the board, after consulting with local district colleges and area technical colleges, in collaboration with the department of labor and employment, the department of higher education, the department of education, and the state work force development council, created in section 24-46.3-101, C.R.S., shall design a career pathway for students within the manufacturing sector.

The manufacturing career pathway must include industry-validated stackable certifications and multiple entry and exit points that allow students of all ages to seek additional opportunities in the manufacturing sector. The manufacturing career pathway designed by the board must include, but need not be limited to, the following components:   Alignment with the skills and requirements that state and local manufacturing sector employers, through manufacturing sector partnerships, determine are necessary for career progression in high-demand occupations within the manufacturing sector;    A full range of middle school, secondary, adult education, and postsecondary education options, with a nonduplicative, clearly articulated course progression from one level of instruction to the next, with opportunities to earn postsecondary credits, maximize credit for prior learning, and secure industry-validated credentials;    Technical skill assessments at multiple points in the manufacturing career pathway that lead to industry certifications or other value in employment, including advanced placement into a higher level of training;    Academic and career counseling resources, best practices in wraparound support services, particularly at transition points along the manufacturing career pathway, and support and development of individual career and academic plans; and    Curriculum and instructional strategies that are appropriate for adult students and that embed learning and skill building in a work-related context.
