Mental realities

What We Learned from
Interviews
• Travelling to CWI from distant parts of
service area is difficult
• Downsizing of anchor businesses during
recession led to general discouragement
• Manufacturing expansion scheduled to
occur
• Payoff from Tax Reimbursement Incentive
• Brain drain occurring
What We Learned from
Interviews
• Concern that enrollments could be
counter-cyclical with economy
• Graying of the workforce is a concern
(though not as bad as many expected)
• Employers have a higher opinion of CWI
than regional for-profit institutions

What We Recommended

Tooling/Machinists, and Industrial Mechanics
• Consider opening satellite campuses or distance
education options for students in outlying areas
• Advance partnerships with food manufacturing cluster
• Get sponsors and partners to share resources to
develop training centers
• Increase ease of transfer to burgeoning Boise State
University
• Consider offering some applied bachelor’s degrees
• Focus on skills and credentials, not degrees
