Apply to Grayson CollegeGrant Information
In early fall 2020, Grayson College was awarded a second NSF-ATE grant to continue building AMP: (Enriching Industry Competencies though Mentorship, Pathway Awareness, and Instructional Access). This grant will utilize recommendations from the first grant along with growth pains in a rural area to narrow the objectives in our 2020-2023 grant. Objectives of this comprehensive career awareness and skills training initiative are to:
- Enrich student employability competencies through mentor-mentee relationships guided by meaningful training and outcome-based activities between students and industry mentors;
- Improve awareness of advanced manufacturing career opportunities among teachers, counselors, parents, and students through an enhanced website presence; and,
- define pathways to clarify educational steps and expand access to Advanced Manufacturing Program (AMP) learning opportunities by implementing new instructional methodologies and hybrid teaching conduits to reach rural and traditionally underrepresented students.
As this is the first year of program implementation, results focus on the formative evaluation components that best fit anticipated achievements for Year 1. Formative evaluation components assessed at this point in programming are:
- The extent to which stakeholders (students, faculty, school counselors, industry mentors) are satisfied with program components;
- The extent to which the project is implemented as intended (timeline, participants, activities, cost); and
- The extent to which investigators gain increased understanding of faculty, mentor, counselor, and student needs and challenges as the program is implemented.
