KCTCS STRATEGIC PLAN 2010-2016 The KCTCS Strategic Plan 2010-2016 is designed to place more Kentucky citizens on the path to a postsecondary credential (certificate, diploma and/or associate degree) and a successful career. The plan is built on five over arching System goals with specific performance measures and five-year targets creating a yardstick for measuring our success. Reaching these goals by 2016 will move us closer to achieving the mandates outlined for KCTCS in the 1997 Postsecondary Education Improvement Act and lead to more competitive businesses and the enhanced employability and quality of life for Kentucky citizens. Through Leadership, Service and Support of our Colleges, KCTCS will: * Effectively engage students in positive learning outcomes * Increase the number of people who are professionally licensed or certified * Help under prepared students be more successful in college * Attract more working age adults to college * Increase the number of credentials we award -- especially at the Associate Degree level * Focus on helping students stay in school to achieve their goals *Increase the number of students transferring successfully to 4-year schools * Attract more ethnically diverse students and employees * Assist ethnically diverse students to stay in school to achieve their goals * Prepare more workers for high wage/high demand jobs * Increase the number of workforce students who return to pursue a KCTCS credential * Provide students an education that leads to economic prosperity * Increase awareness and a positive image of KCTCS * Continue to attract financial support from non-government source Kentucky Community & Technical College System KCTCS _d7822b40-9eb5-11e4-a3d6-4b12c84e4dfa Students PerformerBeneficiary Employers PerformerBeneficiary Communities PerformerBeneficiary Michael B.
