19. Justification for Action The CIOS Advisory Committee recommended that being familiar with the networking side of computers would be beneficial to small businesses that don’t have their own network technician and suggested a “blended” certificate that supplies both office skills and administrative skills. This OEC also allows students who don’t know which program they’re interested in to experience both sides of the profession before making a choice.

19. Justification for Action Old program title: Administrative Office Support Occupational Endorsement Certificate. New Program title: Office Foundations Occupational Endorsement Certificate. Requirements are being reorganized into a series of Occupational Endorsement Certificates that feed into the CIOS Associate of Applied Science degree. Two surveys conducted in 2006 indicated administrative professionals are employed without a degree or certification and the industry is focusing more on skill sets rather than degrees. We also receive students seeking to learn a skill set quickly because they’ve been displaced from their job. This OEC combines the core courses plus courses from the certificates in the old program to provide students an opportunity to acquire entry level skills for immediate employment while progressing to increasingly complex office skills.

19. Justification for Action Old program titles: Desktop Publishing and Graphics Occupational Endorsement Certificate and Web Foundations Occupational Endorsement Certificate. The CIOS Advisory Committee agreed that a specialized web or graphic design background isn’t necessary for administrative professionals’ typical skill set; however, since their duties sometimes involve creating online or print communication, having fundamental knowledge of web design and desktop publishing is beneficial for them to communicate more effectively through these media. This OEC combines courses from the Desktop Publishing and Graphics and Web Foundations OECs to provide a skill set for updating or maintaining websites and creating desktop publishing documents commonly needed in an office setting.

Credits changed to create flexibility for the working adult who needs to finish their AAS degree. Grading basis changed to pass/no pass to reflect the flexible nature of the project. Course description updated to change the focus from learning a computer application to solving a relevant business problem using CIOS skills. Contact hours changed to enable taking a range of 1 – 3 credits. Course content guide updated to describe the variable project criteria and change the outcomes of the course.
