Business Plan-Financial Commitment

BUSINESS PLAN
- FINANCIAL COMMITMENT

For Sept/October Board meeting

The program business plan is developed by the Office of External and STEP 5B
Employer Relations (OEER) in collaboration with program leadership
and the Workforce Council (WFC) Financial Review Subcommittee. The program
business plan includes revenue and expenses related to operating a program
(salaries, equipment, marketing, required state or industry certification, and building
renovation) projected for the first five years of program implementation.

To provide a strong start for new and expanded programs, the system-wide
taskforce of LSC-System Office Marketing and Communications, OEER Workforce
Education Marketing, and campus marketing and communications will determine the
strategy and expense to market this new program.

The campus leadership (Dean, Vice President of Instruction, Vice President of
Administration, and President) review and approve the financial plan. The campus
Vice President of Administration and Senior Associate Vice Chancellor of External and
Employer Relations approve and sign the financial plan. The Executive Director of
Financial Services facilitates the Financial Commitment approval process through the
Workforce Council Financial Review Subcommittee, whose membership includes:

• Vice President of Administration (VPAD) Workforce Council co-chair
• Vice Presidents of Administration (VPAD) from all campuses
• Senior Associate Vice Chancellor (OEER)
• Executive Director, Workforce Development (OEER)
• Director, Business Operations (OEER)
The Workforce Council Financial Review Subcommittee reviews and approves the
financial plan. Once approved, the Executive Director of Financial Services signs as
a representative of the Chief Financial Officer’s (CFO) Administrative Services team.

LSC Workforce Program Development LoneStar.edu/Workforce-Council 189

STEP 5B Workforce Progr am Development Process

Business Plan-Financial Commitment

The Executive Director of Workforce Development sends the financial commitment to
the Vice Chancellor of Academic and Workforce Success along with the drafted Board
Agenda Item (BAI) for review and approval. The financial plan and BAI are reviewed
and approved by the Vice Chancellor of Academic and Workforce Success, Chief
Operating Officer, and Chief Financial Officer through the Board agenda development
process.

These documents are presented to the Lone Star College Chancellor and Board of
Trustees for final vote through the Board Agenda Item (BAI) submission process.
Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) regulations require a college’s
Board of Trustees to approve new workforce programs, and Lone Star College
ensures that its Board of Trustees also have approval over expansions and
deactivations. Once Board approved, OEER completes the THECB Certification
document for Board Liaison and Chancellor signature which is then submitted by
OEER to OAA. OAA then submits the appropriate documents to THECB and
SACSCOC.

OEER on behalf of Workforce Council receives an operating fund allocation
annually to assist with new program startup costs estimated for a startup year.
Workforce Council membership votes to approve the allocation of these funds.

OEER Senior Business Manager works with the appropriate Division Operations
Manager (DOM) to notify program of fund approval and reimburse campus department
budget.

The Business Plan and Financial Commitment include:
1. Curriculum Plan
2. Projected 5-year revenue
3. Projected 5-year expenses, including:
• Faculty, adjunct and staff salary, benefits and any required training expenses
(covered by campus’ current allocation)
• Equipment (covered by campus except when partially funded by Workforce
Council start-up funds, specialized grants or donations)
• Expenses related to required specialized state or industry certifications

Workforce Progr am Development Process

Business Plan-Financial Commitment

• Marketing and Outreach: Regardless of how many campuses offering
program, marketing and outreach will be provided by System Office the
semester prior to the program launch. Funding for marketing and outreach in
the first year will be provided to each campus offering the program

4. One-time startup costs to include building renovation
5. Campus, Workforce Council, and System Office financial commitments

In addition to the documents above, the LSC Board packet will include:
1. Labor Market Information
2. Focus Group and Advisory Council/Committee Notes
3. Board Agenda Item
4. Final OAA Documents listed in Step #4 required for THECB.

Administration (VPAD) are notified of curriculum approval.
2. The financial plan is developed by OEER SAVC, Director of Business Operations,
and campus VPAD.
3. The entire business plan includes the materials listed below under “Documents
and Resources” and is the responsibility of OEER and Workforce Program
Development leadership.
4. Campus leadership reviews and approves the financial plan. The financial
commitment form is signed by the campus VPAD and SAVC.
5. The WFC Financial Review Subcommittee, facilitated by the Executive Director
of Financial Services, reviews and approves the financial plan. The Executive
Director of Financial Services signs the financial commitment form as
representative of the CFO’s Administrative Services team.
6. The Executive Director of Workforce Development drafts the Board Agenda Item
and submits it along with financial plan to the Vice Chancellor of Academic and
Workforce Success for review and approval.
7. LSC Board of Trustees approves/denies Board Agenda Item.
8. OEER Workforce Program Development creates THECB Certification Forms
and submits for signatures of Chancellor and Board Liaison.

"Instructional Equipment" of $100,000 will provide a corrosion lab setup for one classroom.

"Instructional Supplies (consumables)" of $22,500 will provide the student cohort needed tools and equipment. This should be at least partially paid for by student fees.
"Program Director" expense would not be solely attached to the Corrosion Technology program, but also tasked with other workforce programs housed at the Energy and

Curriculum Report and Consideration No. X (ACTION ITEM X) Board Meeting 3-2-17

Request: Consideration of Approval to Offer the Cybersecurity Applied Science (AAS)
Degree at LSC-CyFair

Chancellor’s That the Board of Trustees approve offering the Cybersecurity AAS degree at LSC-

Recommendation: CyFair.

Rationale: LSC-CyFair has requested approval to offer the Cybersecurity AAS degree.

Demand in the Houston-The Woodlands-Sugarland Metropolitan Statistical Area
(MSA) shows considerable growth for Cybersecurity related occupations. In
addition, labor market data from the Texas Workforce Commission and Burning
Glass Technologies shows moderate to strong demand and strong wages for this
occupational field.

STEP 5B Cybersecurity AAS

Occupation: Computer and Information Systems Security/Information Assurance

TWC Forecasted Total Annual Average Job Openings in 60
the Gulf Coast (2014-2024)

TWC Median Wage (2015) $45.55/hr

Burning Glass Job Postings

(Jan. 1, 2016- Dec. 31, 2016, Houston-The Woodlands-Sugarland 1,593

MSA)

Sources: Texas Workforce Commission, Burning Glass Technologies

The need for this program was vetted through multiple industry groups, which
included the Information Technology program Advisory Council, business and
organization leaders such as security companies and individuals with the FBI, the
National Cyberwatch Center and through the Chancellor’s Executive Advisory
Councils. The program was ultimately validated by the following industry groups:

• The Global Energy and Manufacturing Council

• The Healthcare CEO Council

• The Chancellor’s CIO group

The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board requires that the College’s Board
of Trustees approve new programs.

Fiscal Impact: Estimated start-up equipment costs of $80,000, subject to a competitive bid process,
Staff Resource: will be funded with a combination of General Obligation Bonds, Series 2015A
($70,000) and proposed LSC-CyFair operating budget ($10,000). Instruction and
other costs of an estimated $56,000 for this program will be included in the proposed
FY 2017-2018 operating budget for LSC-CyFair.
