Apprenticeship Systemwide Curriculum Standards (ASCS)
The WTCS supports development of systemwide Apprenticeship Systemwide Curriculum Standards (ASCS) that document the related instruction and DWD-BAS administrative authority requirements for apprenticeship programs when related instruction is offered at more than one WTCS college. ASCS are available for approximately 95% of approved apprenticeship programs offered through the WTCS. Creation of new ASCS is integrated into the new program development process.
Examples of uses of Apprenticeship Curriculum Standards include:
- Review and approval of related instruction by the BAS-administered State Apprenticeship Trade Committees or other industry advisory committees or sponsors
- Promote and convey what is learned in the classroom to current and potential future apprentice sponsors
- Ensure consistency of related instruction for a program offered at multiple colleges
- Cyclical of review systemwide curriculum to ensure documentation of learning is up to date
- Serve as foundation for development of competency-level crosswalks to align apprenticeship courses with WTCS technical diploma and associate degree course equivalents
- Evaluate credit-for-prior learning against mapped competencies
Apprenticeship Curriculum Standards include the following information:
- WTCS Program Title, Number, and CIP
- Occupational description, job titles, external requirements, accreditation information, and program entry requirements
- DWD-BAS Administrative Authority – Exhibit A Training Standards
- Program Outcomes, program configuration and course sequencing models
- A Course Outcome Summary for each course, including:
- Course title, description, assigned credit/hour values, instructional modalities, pre-requisites
- Course competencies, learning objectives, and assessment criteria
- Creative Commons or other attributions for ASCS developed or revised through public grant funds
