Kaskaskia Collegeand SouthernIllinois Universi-ty are joiningforces to offer a

Dual Admission Program (DAP)for students who plan to attend acommunity college first, thentransfer to SIU Carbondale for aspecific major. The program isintended to help students preparefor their transfer to SIU well inadvance of the enrollment dateand take some of the stress out ofthe transfer process.

Sheri Sulser, SIUC transfercoordinator said, “Dual Admis-sion Program students benefitfrom a customized transfer plandesigned to keep students ontrack for their SIU majors, alongwith feedback each semester onhow recent credit earned transfersfrom Kaskaskia to SIU. DualAdmission Program students haveaccess to a series of online semi-nar courses that gives them theability to lock in tuition rates atSIU as early as the second semes-ter at Kaskaskia, and the courseconnects them with other studentsplanning to transfer to SIU. TheDual Admission Program isdesigned to remove any barriersfor transfer students and providesstudents with a smooth and seam-less transition from KaskaskiaCollege to SIU Carbondale”.

Participation in this programallows students who plan to go toCarbondale to get the benefit ofKC’s low cost and small classsizes while building a relation-ship with SIUC faculty and staff.

In order to qualify for DAP astudent must: have at least twosemesters (minimum of 30semester hours) remaining at KC;meet admission requirements forSIU Carbondale and maintain atleast a 2.0/4.0 cumulative GPA ascalculated by SIU while attendingKC; and declare a specific majorat SIU Carbondale.

TThe HydraulicFracturing Regu-latory Act(SB1715), signedby Governor

Quinn on June 17, could addthousands of jobs to the SouthernIllinois economy, and KaskaskiaCollege is positioning itself toserve the needs of individuals inDistrict 501 seeking jobs in theindustry.

Hydraulic fracturing (fracking)is the process of creating fissuresin underground formations toallow natural gas to flow. Duringfracking, water, sand and otheradditives are pumped under highpressure into the shale formationto create fractures. Frac fluid isapproximately 99.5% water andsand, with a small amount ofspecial-purpose additives. Thesand is used to “prop” open thenewly created fractures, whichallows the natural gas to flowinto the wellbore and up to thesurface.

Fracking is done after thedrilling rig has completed thewellbore and has been removed.The actual process of frackingnatural gas well takes less than aweek to complete. At that point,the natural gas produced fromthe well that was hydraulicallyfractured is no different than anyother natural gas well, regardlessof how the well was completed.

Finally, and most importantly,the abundant quantities of naturalgas contained in shale depositshave been unlocked by combin-ing hydraulic fracturing withhorizontal drilling. While thecombination of these technolo-gies has been used for decades, itwas perfected for shales about 10years ago. The result is a com-plete change in the energy out-look for the United States, andmany countries in the world forthat matter.

According to the President ofTC Technologies, the drilling ofa single well contributes to theemployment of 115 people in avariety of direct and supportoccupations A large percentageof those occupations requiresome initial training or an associ-ate degree, but not a 4-yeardegree.

Members of the administrativestaff at the College have begungathering information onhydraulic fracturing and the newjobs it promises for Southern Illi-nois, with special attention to itsimpact in other states such asOhio and Pennsylvania that havealready begun experiencing a“fracking” boom.

Plans are to conduct a detailedanalysis of job outlook data forthe “fracking” industry.

There are numerous employ-ment opportunities for which

Kaskaskia College will preparegraduates to enter work in theindustry

KC representatives will beconvening an advisory commit-tee of employers in the industry,to advise and assist in learningmore about the “fracking” jobsthat will be coming to Illinoisand the specific skills needed toqualify for them.

The College is also communi-cating with members of ShaleTraining & Education Center(ShaleTEC) regarding courseofferings. ShaleTEC is a collab-oration between the Pennsylva-nia College of Technology andPenn State Extension, estab-lished to serve as the centralresource for the workforcedevelopment and educationneeds of the community and theoil and natural gas industrywithin the Pennsylvania region.Kaskaskia College has requestedinformation and additional cor-respondence to investigate fur-ther collaboration withShaleTEC.

It is anticipated that two ormore Kaskaskia College facultyand/or staff members willbecome certified by SafelandUSA, a volunteer organizationcomprised of major and inde-pendent operating companies,industry associations, and educa-tors with the purpose of develop-

ing a standardized orientationwhich meets minimum require-ments for the U.S. Onshore E&Pindustry. The ultimate goal forKaskaskia College is to becomea certified training provider forSafeland USA. This will allowthe College to train members ofour workforce and prepare themfor careers in the hydraulic frac-turing industry.

Kaskaskia College representa-tives also plan to engage othercommunity colleges, in Illinoisand other states, to share ideasand explore possible partner-ships in response to the antici-pated “fracking” boom, with aview toward marketing existingKC programs relevant to theindustry and developing newcourses or programs tailored toits specific employment require-ments as needed.

According to George Evans,Dean of Career and TechnicalEducation, “Kaskaskia Collegewas very glad to hear of the pas-sage of the new bill, and theprospect of many new jobs forour region. We are committed toresponding fully to this uniqueopportunity as part of our ongo-ing effort to meet the employ-ment needs of individuals andcommunities throughout ourDistrict”.
