Abstract
Clover Park Technical College's (CPTC) one-quarter Fundamental Skills for Manufacturing & Engineering (FSME) certificate is modeled on Core Plus, a curriculum created in Washington state through a partnership between the K-12 public education system and the Advanced Manufacturing industry. Core Plus focuses on basic skills that apply across a wide variety of industrial sectors and which prepare students for apprenticeship, additional education, or direct entry into the workforce.
Although developed for high school use, Core Plus materials may be suitable for adult learners in any course that introduces career pathways in the Skilled Trades, Manufacturing and Industry. For this reason, CPTC is making the full Core Plus – Year One curriculum available on Skills Commons as a resource for other institutions and initiatives. This curriculum was created in partnership with industry partners, who helped identify the “baseline” skills and knowledge that students need to be successful.
This set of learning resources, Core Plus - Year One, addresses foundational skills in 540 total hours of instruction at the high school level.
