TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the public authorities law, in relation to creating the mobile
high-technology training facilities program

PURPOSE:
Creates the mobile high-technology training facilities program,
allowing the Foundation for Science, Technology and Innovation
(d.b.a. NYSTAR) to provide matching grants for the design,
development and outfit of mobile training facilities.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1: Amends the public authorities law by adding a new section
3154-a creating the mobile high-technology training facilities
program within the foundation for science, technology and innovation
to award competitive grants to qualified applicants for the
development of mobile high-technology training facilities.

Section 2: Effective date.

EXISTING LAW:
This is a new bill.

JUSTIFICATION:

Training opportunities are an essential component of economic
development. While hands-on training is widely recognized as the most
valuable form of learning experience, equipping laboratories to train
workers, especially in the high-technology manufacturing fields, is
beyond the means of many educational institutions.

Just as rural hospitals share medical equipment carried from one
facility to another in specially equipped trailers, training
facilities could be designed to fit in similar trailers and be
brought to
training sites. Mobile training facilities will make training in
high-value occupations a reality for students in rural areas,
incumbent workers, and those enrolled in educational institutions
lacking the resources to equip cutting-edge training facilities.

This program will provide competitively awarded grants to educational
or qualified not-for-profit institutions for the design, development
and outfit of mobile laboratory and/or training facilities that
complement certificate, degree or other recognized credentialing
programs leading to employment in high-value and high-demand
occupations. Mobile programs have a proven record of success. For
example, the Time Wise Management Systems' Mobile Outreach Skills
Training (MOST) initiative, launched in conjunction with the US
Department of Labor and utilized in Florida, Massachusetts,
Mississippi and throughout New England, saves companies the expense
of training or retraining employees they would have otherwise provided.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
This is a new bill.


FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
Estimated costs of $1 million per mobile high-technology training
facilities unit, 20% of which would be required as a match provided
by the applicant. In New York state the average salary for a
high-technology manufacturing employee is $65,000 compared to $39,000
for a "nuts and bolts" manufacturing job. Each unit could train up to
500 employees per year for an overall increase in wages of $13
million. Therefore, an $800,000 state investment could yield up to
$13 million annually in additional wages, resulting in increased
revenues from the personal income tax and other economic activity.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
Immediately.
