| Advance Competitiveness of Minnesota's Workforce |
| The Governor recommends that MnSCU advance Minnesota's workforce competitiveness through three programs: |
| Internships and Apprenticeships, Leveraged Equipment, and Faculty Driven Educational Innovations. The Internships and |
| Apprenticeships program, with a $12 million state investment, and the Leveraged Equipment program, with a $26 million |
| state investment, will match state funding with private contributions to provide students hands-on learning experiences in |
| high-demand, high-skill trades. The Faculty Driven Innovations program, with an $8 million state investment, will enable |
| faculty to enhance the quality of instruction and accelerate student progress through technology-driven learning. This |
| proposal directly supports students' career readiness by ensuring MnSCU students have the skills to compete in the job |
| market upon graduation. |
| Performance Measures: |
| By 2017, the related-employment rates of graduates will increase by 3.5%, from 80.9% to 84.4%. $3 million in non-state |
| matching funds will be secured for internship/apprenticeships before FY 2015 funds are released. $7.5 million in matching |
| funds will be secured for leveraged equipment before FY2015 funds are released. |

| Retain High-Quality Faculty and Staff |
| The Governor recommends state funding, in partnership with savings from administrative efficiencies and student tuition, |
| to allow MnSCU to retain high-quality faculty and staff. This proposal seeks to mitigate the effects of increasing costs |
| related to obligations such as health insurance and limit increases in tuition for MnSCU students, which could otherwise |
| rise significantly in order to meet these obligations. State support will provide one-third of the funding for faculty and staff |
| retention, and savings from administrative efficiencies and student tuition will fund the remaining two-thirds. |
| Performance Measures: |
| An increase in student tuition will be limited to 3%. Tuition will increase by a maximum of $145 for full-time college |
| students and by $205 for full-time university students. MnSCU will identify and implement $44 million in administrative |
| efficiencies. |
