Background The program recommendation process outlined by the California Community College Chancellor’s Office (CCCCO) requires that all requests to add new programs or certificates to a college’s inventory of occupational programs include a recommendation from the Regional Consortium. Complete instructions for this process are included in the Program and Course Approval Handbook-7th Edition. The process for obtaining recommendation/endorsement from the Regional Consortium (RC) is intended to inform and engage members of the Consortia in adding programs at member colleges, and to foster a spirit of collaboration and coordination that results in viable choices for Career Education courses/programs across the region.

Centers of Excellence (COE) Labor Market Information(LMI) Reports The COE LMI report contains valuable data that can be shared with leadership and faculty to inform program development discussions and decisions. Colleges are also encouraged to contact the respective sector’s Regional Director, Employer Engagement to inquire about available resources that can be used in the program development process. As part of the process, the Bay Region asks that you reach out to colleges in your service that are identified in the LMI report as having similar programs and record date, contact & discussion outcomes to include in your program submission responses.

CTE Curriculum Program Policy Any CTE credit certificate that is 16 or more units requires review by the regional consortium and Chancellor's Office approval. The threshold was recently reduced from 18 to 16. In addition the threshold at which colleges may request Chancellor's Office approval was lowered to 8 units. Here's the citation to Title 5 which reflects the lowered thresholds. The requirement for review by the regional consortia is spelled out in section 55130 of Title 5 and is further detailed in the Program & Course Approval Handbook.
