| Abstract | This report discusses the outcomes of West Valley College's (WVC) (California) planning process, which was based on an extensive community needs assessment. Statistics include: (1) the local county, Santa Clara, was estimated to be approximately 24% Hispanic and Asian, and 4% African American; (2) student enrollment at WVC was approximately 11,500 students per semester, with females making up 60% of the total; (3) in fall 1999, Asians made up 18% of total enrollment, Hispanics almost 13%, and African Americans 3%; (4) almost 60% of the full-time faculty at WVC were white; and (5) Asian/Pacific Islanders made up approximately 9% of the faculty, while Hispanics made up almost 7% and African Americans 4%. Findings of a community needs assessment indicated the following: (1) the political boundaries and service area boundaries for the area colleges have changed considerably; (2) population growth in the Santa Clara Valley is primarily in the city of San Jose; (3) a large population of 41-55 year olds is emerging and appears to have strong needs; (4) technology and service occupation clusters share equally in the number of new jobs; and (5) small businesses are becoming a larger part of the labor market landscape. The report also addresses facilities needs, academic programs and services, and educational initiatives. (NB) |
