North Central Texas College’s (NCTC) Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP), Aspire to be Hired, focuses on students’ employability skill development through evidence-based training modules embedded into the course curriculum and structured support opportunities. The program promotes students’ marketability and preparedness by 1) building their awareness of the importance and impact of employability skills, 2) improving their ability to articulate these skill sets, and 3) offering opportunities to apply professional skills and knowledge. The overarching goal of NCTC’s QEP Aspire to be Hired is to remove barriers and reduce the skills gap to improve students’ long-term employability. Students who enroll in QEP identified CTE courses are automatically participants in the program. Students complete a specific QEP Professional Skills assignment as a part of the course content, and Career Coaches in the Career Service Center provide structured student services. The QEP was launched in three career and technical divisions for pilot in 2020 and 2021- Information Technology, Business Management, and HVAC.
