Abstract	This report analyzes the challenges posed to Western Iowa Tech Community College (WITCC) by national, state, and local trends, and offers a plan for institutional improvement and community development. Part I highlights the following issues of concern to the college: the changing nature of the workplace, new providers of postsecondary education, increased state pressure for a comprehensive college mission, and changes in local economic, social, and demographic structures. Specific challenges facing WITCC are identified as the lack of a strong arts and sciences program, stable enrollment levels and high attrition, the need for additional facilities to accommodate the call for an expanded mission, and the need to develop external financial resources in a more systematic and comprehensive fashion. Part II discusses options and offers recommendations for dealing with these challenges. The key recommendation is that WITCC participate in a PIER (Preparation, Implementation, Evaluation, and Refinement) strategic planning process to introduce necessary changes over a five-year period. Under this plan, the college will establish a comprehensive arts and sciences program as early as possible, upgrade the vocational-technical education curriculum, create a systematic approach to resource development, devote more attention to student services, and develop a better approach to serving the occupational development needs of high school students.
