Creating an ecosystem for your sector strategy
An ecosystem is larger than any single entity or funding source
One cohesive message is created and sent All partners are equal in value New ideas and best practices can be brought
to scale quickly New opportunities present themselves when
you leverage expertise

Ecosystem
Who are we?
The consortium consists of community and technical colleges with composites and advanced materials programs
The Center of Excellence for Aerospace and Advanced Materials Manufacturing and the Center of Excellence for Marine Manufacturing and Technology have led the effort to formalize the group and have leveraged resources to facilitate WSCTC activities
What is our mission?
Our mission is to strengthen the composites training infrastructure across the state
To achieve this, the consortium will:
Facilitate communication between industry and CTCs Create an efficient platform to develop and share curriculum
Organize the delivery of professional development for instructors and industry
Leverage resources to represent Washington State at significant conferences, summits, and trade shows
Advocate for increased training opportunities for CTC students and promote Washington as a destination for composites training
Facilitating communication between industry and CTCs The consortium will work to “streamline” communication
between industry and the community and technical college system
Our focus is multi-sector and includes aerospace, marine, automotive, recreation, energy, and infrastructure
Organizing professional development activities
Faculty trainings have included fabrication, repair, and non-destructive testing
Resources leveraged across federal and state grants
ABARIS Training Spring ‘13 at South Seattle Community College
Advocating for advanced composites programs
The consortium will advocate for CTC students, advanced materials programs, and Washington State’s training capacity
Upcoming events include:
Non-destructive Testing – Spokane Community College
ACMA Certified Composites Technician Training – Skagit Valley College
Conference attendance at JEC Americas, SAMPE Tech, CF 2013
Challenges Not every student wants a certificate/degree
Companies need leadership
Career pathways
Collaborations with Universities are necessary and difficult Grant opportunities lean towards Universities
Value in Technical Education not appreciated
Articulation
