Ranken Technical College Strategic Planning Steering Committee Initial Meeting Minutes
The meeting focused on the development of Ranken Technical College's 2021-2025 Strategic Plan, themed "Building the 21st Century Workforce." Discussions included the importance of adaptability in a changing world, the college's current trajectory and areas for continued focus (moving away from traditional methods and meeting industry needs), the state of education and the economy (including workforce skill misalignment and the need for retraining), and the strategic planning process itself. The process will involve an environmental scan, review of standing documents, and engagement with standing committees to identify areas for improvement. A timeline for the plan's completion and presentation to the Board of Trustees was also outlined.
