S158 - Summary

Creates the mobile high-technology training facilities program.

S158 - Sponsor Memo

 
BILL NUMBER: S158

SPONSOR: KAPLAN
 
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.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Training opportunities are an essential component of economic develop-
ment. 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 facili-
ty 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) 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:

S. 2869/A. 8254; Advanced to Senate Finance Committee S. 2332 of
2017/2018 Reported to Finance

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

Estimated costs of $1 million per mobile high-technology training facil-
ities 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.
