VETERANS ACADEMYA Proposal To Improve Post-Secondary

Education and Career Success for Veterans


2/15



Vision

West Point for military veterans delivered through a campus and onlinenetwork

Mission

Improve veterans employment success through a coop- and competency-basededucational initiative

Why?

Veterans graduation rates are 3.5 - 6 times lower than non-veterans

5% veterans vs. 30% non-veterans after entering post-secondary school

15% veterans vs. 52% non-veterans after entering 4-year schools (after 6 years)

From 1995-2004, only 52,000 of 641,000 eligible veterans (8%) who signed up forGI Bill tuition benefits from used their full benefit following discharge

Veterans underserved by traditional higher education

Bring advanced technical and leadership skills, as well as unique needs, for whichtraditional universities and CCs are not designed

Exploited by private education companies with low quality

Source of talent, entrepreneurship and innovation for Midwest companies

Illinois Veteran Academy


3/15



Lean Education

Inverted Academic Model Early specialization to maximize coop-based employment

Competency-based placement (notcredit) leverages military experience andtraining

Flexible course length based on competency demonstrated -- e.g., corporate financeis harder and takes longer to learn than Accounting 101

Competency-mapped curriculum that builds the knowledge and skills required to beaccounting department head, production manager, HR manager, IT network analyst-- e.g., Motorola University meets Northeastern University coop program

Curriculum designed to industry certification standards -- CPA, Microsoft, Oracle

Focused Learning Factory: Limit curriculum variety with 80/20 rule tocontrol cost of complexity, maximize quality and spur innovation

Offerings to 6-8 major disciplines across 3-4 major industries based on skills/jobsneeded by industry partners

Two levels: certificate/2-year and 4-year

Curricula developed/approved by Servicemembers Opportunity Colleges (SOC),DOE, military academies and representatives from industry



4/15



Use underutilized and existing resources

Corporate and military learning networks Underutilized corporate and higher education learning centers > 5 PM

Focus on Transition, Applied Learning and Employment

Experiential and coop-based model emphasizes competency, relevance andintegration with employment and life success similar to NortheasternUniversity and former GMI (e.g., 3 months school, 3 months work)

Integrated classroom and technology-based learning lab with applicationsin logistics, accounting and HR from leading technology providers toindustry; heavy use of simulation-based learning (think Flight School)

Predictive analytic tools for placement, assessment and reporting

Adaptive learning tools for remedial courses

Governance Separate accreditation and branding like Illinois Math and Science

Academy or transfer model like SOC in cooperation with state universitiesand CCs

Regional-based, hub-and-spoke system supported via remote-learning, social networking and classroom response technologies

One flagship campus (hub) per region supported by satellite campuses(spoke) at under-utilized corporate/school sites with excess capacity

Blended online/campus instructional capability to minimize costs

10 States comprise 50% of the 26 mil veterans in the US: California, Florida,

Texas, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, North Carolina

and Virginia. 50% of all veterans are found in 23 metropolitan areas.

Benefits

Better delivered cost and quality than traditional universities and CCs Addresses problem of low persistence and graduation rates among veterans

Focus and flexibility in curriculum delivery matches veterans needs and lifeconstraints

Focused transition assistance with veteran community

Improves effectiveness of health/PTSD, family and career development services Improves likelihood of employment during transition

Magnet for corporate and military recruiting

Smart use of state and federal funds to drive economic development

Technology lab and coop model could become practical model for improvingretention and graduation rates for higher education in Illinois

Business intelligence tools match veterans with programs and employers, minimizefalse starts and maximize taxpayer dollars invested in GI Bill/2

Reinvest in veterans medical care and family wellness programs

Experiential Learning: http://tip.psychology.org/rogers.html: According to Rogers, learning is facilitated when: (1) the studentparticipates completely in the learning process and has control over its nature and direction, (2) it is primarily based upondirect confrontation with practical, social, personal or research problems, and (3) self-evaluation is the principal method ofassessing progress or success.
