Data Source and Calculation
This is an annual measure calculated by dividing instructional costs for the credentials-based noncredit Southern Virginia Higher Education Center (SVHEC) Workforce Training Programs by the number of course completions in those programs during the fiscal year. Instructional staff costs associated with supporting the SVHEC Workforce Training Programs are provided by the SVHEC Finance staff and course completion data is provided by the SVHEC Workforce Development division. The preferred trend is to keep the instructional cost stable year-to-year, within the limits of General Assembly-authorized base salary increases for eligible state employees.

This measure was added in fiscal year 2019. |

In fiscal year 2019, the Southern Virginia Higher Education Center spent $96.397 on classroom instructional hours for technical training courses in four program areas including welding, mechatronics (electrical and instrumentation, pneumatics, and programmable logic controllers), heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), and information technology. Individuals enrolled in these programs completed 151 courses conferring third-party, industry-recognized credentials. These programs provide training in skills associated with in-demand jobs in the Southern Virginia region, jobs that are currently difficult for employers to fill due to shortages of qualified skilled workers. |
| 2020 |
1,040 |
The ratio increased significantly due to COVID-19 pandemic impacts. Five courses had instructional hours cost but no completions due to pandemic-necessitated interruptions in training between 3/17/2020 - 8/5/2020. |
| 2021 |
569 |
An unintended consequence of the training interruptions in FY 2020 was the fact that a number of completions were deferred until FY 2021, where they had a positive impact on the direction of the ratio. More importantly, overall program enrollments and course completions were higher in FY 2021 compared to FY 2020 which also moved the ratio down. |
| 2022 |
573 |
Fiscal Year 2022 results reflect a return to relative normalcy after COVID pandemic impacts on the two previous fiscal years. The ratio is lower than FY 2019, the year the measure was added, due to 1) elimination of some courses with high instructional costs but very low enrollments and 2) a significantly larger number of completions across most programs. |
| 2023 |
436 |
In fiscal year 2023 the ratio of instructional costs to completions decreased due to an increase in both enrollments and completions versus prior years. Growth areas included workforce training classes customized for industry, American Heart Association CPR/First Aid/AED classes, and new IT Academy classes in programming and data science. Given this growth, we revised the long target measure down from $575 per completion to $500 per completion. |
| 2024 |
471 |
The ratio of Instructional Costs:Completions increased 8+ in fiscal year 2024 due to increased instructional hours as a result of program changes. |
