In 2010-11, a balanced scorecard measures team was formed to recommend key performance measures for each of SIAST’s strategic goals. The results of the team’s work were presented to the SIAST board of directors for approval at its November 2011 meeting. Further development of SIAST’s balanced scorecard framework continues with the refinement of measures, targets and benchmarks in 2012 and beyond. In 2011-12, SIAST made additional progress toward aligning its enterprise risk management (ERM) approach with its strategic planning process. More information about ERM is included under Management Discussion and Analysis in the Financials section of this report.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR AND PRESIDENT & CEO

‘‘

More than any single event last year, approval to offer the Bachelor of Psychiatric Nursing is a game changer for SIAST.

During the last academic year, SIAST embraced a number of major initiatives that will ensure the organization continues to meet labour market needs, supports economic growth and operates in a sustainable manner. This annual report highlights many of the year’s developments, but two in particular fundamentally change the organization and warrant special mention here. In the fall, we were successful in our bid to join Polytechnics Canada, a national alliance of research-intensive colleges and technical institutes that offer the full range of applied programming – from certificates to degrees. We also received approval to offer our first degree program, the Bachelor of Psychiatric Nursing. Perhaps more than any other single event last year, this second development is a game changer for SIAST. It recognizes our capacity for curriculum development, and it acknowledges the demand that exists for increased levels of applied learning – our area of expertise. SIAST will continue to pursue development of baccalaureate programs where a higher level of applied programming will benefit both the students and the employers we serve. Doing so is consistent with our new status as a polytechnic, as is our intensified emphasis on applied research. In this area in 2012-13, our accomplishments also took us to a new level. The year got off to a great start when one of our grads won the first national applied research award from the Canadian Technology Accreditation Board. As it

2 | 2012-13 SIAST ANNUAL REPORT

continued, with applied research partners, we received two grants from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) – one was to test dental compounds, and the other was for gasoline station remediation with the University of Saskatchewan. Additionally, with the support of the federal government, we equipped the new SIAST BioScience Applied Research Centre. Our applied research success in BioScience was due in part to the designation of dedicated support, an approach we will extend to the Technology Division in 2013-14. This continued focus on applied research will allow us to support innovation at small- and mediumsized enterprises, while at the same time enabling students to hone the critical thinking skills that will benefit their employers upon graduation. Key ongoing initiatives also include implementation of the Lean management process, a strategic plan refresh and a senior management reorganization. These initiatives will ensure we are focused, responsive and efficient. Together with accomplishments in 2012-13, they will position SIAST for continued success and will enable us to embrace the new opportunities that only change can bring. Ralph E. Boychuk Chair Dr. Larry Rosia President and CEO (pictured)

Nineteen of the 20 students who participated went on to successfully complete their post-secondary studies.

MAXIMIZE STUDENT SUCCESS It takes determination to return to school in your late 30s, especially when you’ve been working full-time and supporting a family. But that’s exactly what Steven Day did when he started SIAST’s Professional Cooking program in September 2012. To shift gears, Steven took advantage of SIAST’s Aboriginal Student Summer Transition Program, an introduction to SIAST that helps new students navigate essentials – such as housing, transportation and finances – and also lets them brush up on academic and group skills. The three-week program is part of SIAST’s Aboriginal Student Achievement Plan (ASAP), a multi-year initiative that began in 2010 to enhance Aboriginal student participation and success at SIAST. “It was like getting my feet wet,” says Steven of the transition program, which included four other Professional Cooking students. A former emergency child care worker, Steven was used to fluctuating shifts, not a Monday-to-Friday routine of classes. The program not only got him into this groove but also provided him with daycare options for his one-year-old son. And, under ASAP, he received a $500 emergency bursary to help cover childcare costs. ABORIGINAL STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT PLAN (ASAP) STRATEGY Implementation of ASAP institution-wide in 2012-13 included the realignment of services, including implementation of a proactive applicant support strategy and appointment of an Aboriginal community coordinator. Expansion of the Aboriginal Student Retention Model continued, with a greater focus on coordination with other services for Aboriginal students at SIAST. Summer transition programming was offered to Aboriginal students at SIAST Woodland and SIAST Kelsey campuses. Nineteen of the 20 students who participated went on to successfully complete their post-secondary studies.

The number of graduates increased by about 100, with the largest increase in success being in apprenticeship training: 78% of Aboriginal apprentices successfully completed, compared to 88% of all apprentice students. The ASAP Emergency Bursary was introduced: A $10,000 corporate donation was matched by the provincial government and provided much-needed emergency funds to many students at all campuses.

C2 Enrolment in the popular program has more than doubled in the last five years.

PROVIDE SKILLED WORKERS FOR THE LABOUR MARKET Apprentices and employers alike gave a big thumbs-up when SIAST recently announced the expansion of the electrician apprenticeship program. Starting in 2013-14, electrician apprentices can complete all four levels of their training at SIAST Woodland Campus in Prince Albert, instead of having to travel to Moose Jaw for Level 4, as they’ve had to do in the past. “Several of our students come from northern Saskatchewan and live with extended family in Prince Albert while taking classes,” says Dwight St. Amand, program head of the Electrician program. “This will mean one less upheaval for them.” It also means that SIAST will be able to deliver all four levels to more students in the future. Enrolment in the popular program has more than doubled in the last five years. In April, the program received close to $300,000 through the Western Diversification Program. The federal funds cover the cost of additional equipment at SIAST Woodland Campus, including six electrical stations and 12 programmable logic controllers, high-voltage meters and circuit boards. APPRENTICESHIP TRAINING Also in 2012-13, to help increase apprentices’ technical training success rate, SIAST and the Saskatchewan Apprenticeship and Trade Certification Commission (SATCC) partnered on a pilot program using Accuplacer testing (measures reading, comprehension and math skills) for Level 1 apprentices. Apprentices

10 | 2012-13 SIAST ANNUAL REPORT

who do not achieve a satisfactory score are required to take a remedial program. They can then take another exam to determine if they meet requirements to attend training. Apprentices can also test their math skills online before attending.

A diploma and a degree look great on your résumé.

BUILDING SUCCESSFUL CAREERS Computer science grad Roan Cooney recently started looking for a job. Chances are he’ll be snapped up in no time. Not only does Roan exude the confidence of someone who’s discovered his passion (he started tinkering with computers at age six), but his post-secondary credentials easily qualify him for the tech support position he’s seeking. After Roan completed SIAST’s two-year Computer Systems Technology diploma program, he took advantage of our transfer credit agreement with the University of Saskatchewan to enter the third year of a bachelor of science program. Continuing his studies at university made perfect sense to him. “It was obviously the best option,” says Roan. “A diploma and a degree look great on your résumé.” He has also reaped other benefits of attending both schools. At SIAST, Roan learned multiple programming languages, gained valuable hands-on experience and took classes in how to land a job. At the U of S, he learned how programming languages work and had the opportunity to explore interests such as graphics, animation and mobile phone development. For this grad, it’s full speed ahead.

IP1.1 RESPOND AGGRESSIVELY TO EVOLVING PROGRAM OPPORTUNITIES Baccalaureate degree program

IP1.3 EXPAND FACILITIES TO ACCOMMODATE ENROLMENT GROWTH Campus revitalization

The government of Saskatchewan approved SIAST’s proposal to offer a Bachelor of Psychiatric Nursing degree program. The program will be available online to Psychiatric Nursing diploma graduates.

SIAST articulated the preliminary scope, schedule and cost information for the SIAST Kelsey Campus expansion in the Kelsey Campus Renewal: A Contemporary Urban Campus Vision for the Future report. The document was based on earlier work by Cornerstone and Stantec. During the year, SIAST continued to work with Stantec on the development of the overall project plan.

Collaborative Nurse Practitioner Program (CNPP) A proposed Collaborative Nurse Practitioner Program (CNPP), leading to a master’s degree and developed by the SIAST Nursing Division and the University of Regina Faculty of Nursing, underwent a rigorous U of R program approval process, culminating with approval by the U of R Senate. Approval by the Saskatchewan Registered Nurses’ Association is expected in November 2013. The program will be delivered via distance education beginning in September 2014. The final intake to SIAST’s Primary Care Nurse Practitioner program will be in September 2013.

Space Utilization Study A space utilization pilot project at SIAST Palliser Campus established a central space-scheduling office through which all room bookings are managed. By centralizing this function and optimizing the use of space, additional classroom space was made available to accommodate an increase in the electrician apprentice program.

IP1.2 FACILITATE SEAMLESS CAREER TRANSITIONS AND LIFELONG LEARNING Articulation agreements SIAST reviewed all articulation agreements, and they are all current and up-todate. Standard templates and guidelines have been provided to all divisions to help deans manage articulation agreements. A summary of all current articulation agreements will be posted on SIAST’s website. 2012-13 SIAST ANNUAL REPORT | 15

SIAST is the only organization in Canada that offers overseas testing based on a Canadian curriculum.

ADVANCING ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL PROSPERITY SIAST’s education projects in Ukraine are gaining momentum – and attracting attention from both provincial and federal governments. Last winter, Jason Kenney, then Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism, visited the SIAST Skills Passport Program (SPP) in Kyiv, where he watched welding skills assessments of Ukrainian candidates aspiring to immigrate to Canada. SIAST is the only organization in Canada that offers overseas testing based on a Canadian curriculum. More than 1,000 language and technical assessments have been conducted through partner organizations on behalf of Saskatchewan employers. Of those tested, more than 300 have arrived in Canada. Ukraine’s post-secondary system is also benefiting from SIAST expertise. Thanks to $3.4 million in funding from the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development, SIAST is modernizing business programs in three Ukrainian vocational schools through its Skills for Employment Project (SFEP). In June, Saskatchewan Deputy Premier Ken Krawetz and SIAST president and CEO Dr. Larry Rosia visited Ukraine for a first-hand look at the project. They had an opportunity to meet the school directors, share insights and learn how the schools operate. The project will benefit 14,000 students and 1,900 entrepreneurs over its term.

IP2.1 ADVANCE INNOVATIVE PARTNERSHIPS AND STRATEGIC ALLIANCES Collaborative northern programs SIAST developed a leading-edge Mental Health and Addictions Worker certificate program to meet the needs of the northern Saskatchewan labour market for addictions and mental health counsellors. Curriculum integrates mental health, addictions and Aboriginal perspectives. The program is delivered in partnership with Northlands College, through a blended learning approach that includes online learning and face-to-face formats and in discussions in Cree and Dene. Elders provide context and support.

IP2.2 EXPAND EDUCATION AND TRAINING IN SELECT GLOBAL MARKETS International education International student enrolment on campus increased to 194 from 71 the year previous. We received almost 800 applications from potential international students for the 2013/14 academic year. 16 | 2012-13 SIAST ANNUAL REPORT

IP2.3 FOSTER A SENSE OF SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY Social responsibility Financial Services staff organized food bank drives at each campus and at the administrative offices for the third year in a row. In addition, employees helped with a Habitat for Humanity build in Saskatoon, a winter clothing drive for the Kateri House in Prince Albert and, food deliveries to home care clients in Prince Albert and $1,000 was raised by Financial Services for a memorial trust that will provide student scholarships.

LEVERAGING EDUCATIONAL INNOVATION Through SBARC, partners can tap into state-of-the-art research facilities.

Entrepreneurial firms experimenting with innovative technologies can now give them a test run at SIAST. In June 2013, SIAST launched its BioScience Applied Research Centre (SBARC), which supports small- and medium-sized enterprises in their product development efforts, helping them be marketready faster. “Through SBARC, partners can tap into state-of-the-art research facilities and the technical and academic expertise of SIAST instructors and faculty,” says Cristina Holguin-Pando, director of SIAST’s Office of Applied Research and Innovation. “Students benefit as well because of enhanced opportunities to apply what they’ve learned in the classroom,” she says. In addition to product testing, SBARC assists in product development activities such as proof of concept, prototyping, evaluation and analysis in the areas of agricultural biotechnology, bioproducts, the environment and biomedicine. Most recently, the federal government recognized the important role SBARC plays in the Canadian economy and provided $465,478 through the Western Diversification Program for the purchase of key instrumentation equipment. “This is a huge boost,” says Holguin-Pando. “With the latest in lab technology, SBARC can significantly reduce R&D costs and hasten product and process development.”

IP3.1 ENHANCE PROGRAM QUALITY Cohort data analysis SIAST is tracking cohort data to analyze student success and to develop program-level and corporate-wide strategies to effect performance. Cohort data, with a focus on graduation rates, has been incorporated into the annual Phase 1 program review and is a major component of the program vitality index and balanced scorecard. SIAST’s existing cohort model is being refined to support the reporting of persistence and attrition rates.

IP3.2 USE CREATIVE SOLUTIONS TO ENHANCE AND EXPAND THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE Learning management system Project planning, budgeting and resource engagement plans carried over to 2013-14. Implementation of the learning platform modernization project was scheduled to begin September 1, 2013.

Saskatchewan Collaborative Bachelor of Science in Nursing program regional expansion SIAST, the University of Regina, Great Plains College and Cypress Health Region signed a memorandum of agreement, paving the way for delivery of the SCBScN program in Swift Current in 2013-14.

The intake of students in Regina was adjusted from 195 down to 187 to accommodate a Swift Current cohort of eight students. Preparations included upgrades to the simulation lab at Great Plains College to meet the needs of the SCBScN program and installation of video conferencing equipment to facilitate program delivery.

IP3.3 GROW APPLIED RESEARCH Applied Research SIAST applied research efforts achieved $900,000 of external funding in 2012-13, including more than $465,000 from federal government for equipment in the new SIAST BioScience Applied Research Centre. Additionally, SIAST and the University of Saskatchewan received a $750,000 grant from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) for a soil remediation project with Federated Cooperatives. Efforts to grow applied research activity increased through a focused approach and deliberate investment of resources that enable activity within strategically defined academic programs, congruent with the province’s growth plan. SIAST is pursuing mining and environmental applied research.

The diversity program is about recognizing the differences in people and in their situations, and respecting it.

LEADING ORGANIZATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS PEOPLE, LEADERSHIP AND GROWTH At SIAST, we view diversity as key to unlocking unlimited potential in the classroom and the workplace. That’s why, in 2012-13, we established a Diversity Leadership Council, representing our various backgrounds and celebrating what makes us unique. Council members comprise a wide variety of equity groups and departments and are a helpful resource for employees, students and prospective students. “It opens our eyes not only to the area we represent – I represent the Aboriginal employees – but towards the disability and minority groups,” says Mary Ann Morin, a council member and a revenue and receivables supervisor at SIAST Woodland Campus. “The diversity program is about recognizing the differences in people and in their situations, and respecting it.” She adds, “Everybody has struggles, and it’s a matter of working together to make sure it’s easier for all students to obtain their education and the jobs they’re looking for.”

P1 OPTIMIZE SERVICE EXCELLENCE Employee engagement survey Three working groups were established to develop strategies to address five significant gaps identified in an employee engagement survey. The groups are developing action plans centred on leadership, culture and values, performance management, learning and development, and communication. In addition, all divisions are developing strategies to support corporate priorities and priorities specific to their divisions.

P2 BECOME AN EMPLOYER OF CHOICE Diversity program A newly formed diversity leadership council completed an intercultural development inventory to determine current cultural competence of committee members. The council is finalizing a communication strategy and prioritizing initiatives to be implemented during a multi-year rollout of an expanded diversity framework.

P3 IMPROVE VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL COMMUNICATION Internal communications Multi-faceted communications plans were developed and implemented for such initiatives as employee engagement, Lean management, paid parking, workplace diversity and strategic planning. Pancake breakfasts and town 22 | 2012-13 SIAST ANNUAL REPORT

hall meetings with Dr. Larry Rosia, SIAST’s new president and CEO, were organized on each campus. Dr. Rosia also addressed employees through video messages and at several divisional meetings. News about SIAST initiatives, accomplishments and employee activities was shared through news releases (68), intranet articles (165) and social media posts (319).

P4 PROVIDE QUALITY GOVERNANCE AND LEADERSHIP Data-driven decisions The second annual scorecard was presented to the board of directors in November 2012. Following best practices, refinements to the scorecard were made, including: • Reduction in the number of measures (recommended practice is to have three to four measures for each of the four perspectives) • Focus on quantitative measures • Development of annual targets, based on an assessment of threeto five-year trends and some benchmarks For the first time, annual performance targets were identified for inclusion in the 2013-14 operating and capital plan. This links each strategic initiative and the measure it is intended to impact. These measures will provide relevant feedback on how well the strategic plan is being executed so that adjustments can be made as necessary.

It should free up time so we can provide better customer service: get back to our employees quicker and be more responsive.

LEADING ORGANIZATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS ENTERPRISE SUSTAINABILITY Efficiencies realized from SIAST’s new Lean initiatives are having a cascading effect – benefiting employees who implement positive changes and those who rely on their expertise and guidance. Since the creation of SIAST’s Lean Promotion Office, several learning events have been held involving more than 29 employees. Events examined several administrative processes across various departments, including the payroll process. Instead of a top-down approach, employees worked together to examine existing processes and generate ideas for improving efficiency. Although guidance and training were provided, the solutions – such as streamlining pay cycles – came from the front lines. “We’ve gone from processing five pay runs (monthly) to four,” says Judy Lozinski, a senior payroll officer. Out-of-scope (OOS) employees were previously paid monthly, while other staff were paid biweekly. Incorporating OOS pay cycles into the existing biweekly pay cycle has already resulted in time savings for Lozinksi – which will, in turn, benefit others. “It should free up time so we can provide better customer service: get back to our employees quicker and be more responsive.”

S1 MAXIMIZE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Administrative efficiencies

S2 ENHANCE AND DIVERSIFY FUNDING SOURCES Revenue generation

Enhanced financial information was provided to SIAST senior management to support budgetary reviews and highlight potential strategies to balance the AY 2013-14 budget. This resulted in the identification of a number of areas of potential savings and revenue sources to overcome a significant operating shortfall anticipated for the year.

Continuing education procedures were refined to more precisely categorize programming as cost-recovery or revenue-generating as a first step toward ensuring maximum return on revenue-generating activities. Preparations began to implement a client relationship management solution that will help SIAST better identify revenue opportunities.

Program rationalization

Capital fundraising campaign

SIAST developed criteria to rank academic programs using a vitality index to validate program offerings and develop program performance measures. Programs are ranked using critical criteria such as number of qualified applicants, enrolment, retention, and graduate and employment statistics. As part of the regular program review policy, the above data is now reviewed annually to identify strengths, weaknesses and trends. This process helps ensure that SIAST effectively repurposes resources for new and expanding program opportunities.

Implementation of a capital fundraising campaign awaits authorization from the SIAST board of directors.

S3 ADVANCE SIAST’S REPUTATION Market research and reputation study A four-part study by an external research firm found that SIAST has a solid reputation for providing technical education that leads to employment. SIAST carries a high level of awareness in Saskatchewan, receiving more mentions than any other post-secondary institution in the general public segment of the study. However, less is known about the breadth of SIAST programming. Results of the study are informing SIAST’s marketing messages. 2012-13 SIAST ANNUAL REPORT | 27

1. The term ‘Base’ represents SIAST’s certificate/ diploma/degree programs that are administered by program heads and are delivered on a regular basis, usually at a SIAST campus. The term ‘certificate’ includes SIAST’s applied and advanced certificate programs. Degree programs include the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program. 2. The term ‘Con Ed’ represents the continuing education delivery of SIAST’s certificate/diploma/ degree programs. Included in this number are 1,184 head count program enrolments at regional colleges and Dumont Technical Institute that broker SIAST programs. Overall, there were 1,521 distinct students registered in SIAST brokered programs or courses for an overall brokered FLE of 1,224. 3. Given that a student can be enrolled in more than one level of training in an academic year, the number of distinct students enrolled in programs overall will not equal the sum of the totals for each training level. 4. Effective in 2010-11, SIAST implemented a new Full Load Equivalent (FLE) model. The new FLE formula will calculate a student’s ‘full-load’ activity based on the total number of credits/hours she/he attends, relative to the number of credits/hours that would normally be assigned a full-time learner over the academic year. FLE will be calculated based on a standard divisor of 45 credit units for post-secondary training and 700 hours for secondary training (Basic Education). A student may be more than one FLE if his/her total credit unit or hour activity is greater than 45 credit units (post-secondary) or 700 hours (secondary). 5. Student records for the Saskatchewan Collaborative Bachelor of Science in Nursing program are managed by the University of Regina. In discussion with the University, a FLE number has been estimated for the training delivered by SIAST. It is entered under the ‘Cert/Dip/Degree Base Program FLE’ and ‘Total FLE’ columns. A breakdown of the FLE by the Kelsey and Wascana locations was not available. As such, FLE has been assigned to each campus based on the same proportion as head count enrolment (57% enrolment at Wascana, 43% at Kelsey). 6. The 347 year one BSCN students have been included in the full-time attendance category for program head count enrolment; however, the actual attendance status of these students is not known, as the University of Regina manages the enrolment records.
