Research for Traini

This study looks at the potential of outsourcing courses for active duty sailors to community colleges using their facilities and significant parts of their curricula. This project investigated the potential for outsourcing three courses, focusing the analysis on two community colleges and two other types of training institutions. The analysis addressed if it is possible or even necessary, to move Navy training equipment to a community college site and how transferable the subject matter is. The analysis also examines the cost-effectiveness of outsourcing the training. The analysis shows that community colleges have distinct advantages that enable them to provide training that is similar to the Navy but at a lower cost. The findings indicate significant overlap with current community college curricula and that the colleges were willing and eager to modify current programs to accommodate the Navy's training requirements.
