Spend Year-End Money Wisely, Plan for Next
Budgets are peculiar animals. First, we
plan for what we want. Then, we are told that all the money is
gone, and that we will just have to wait until next time. And then,
"by George," there is money that needs to be spent or we will "lose" it.
This happens just as often in the business world as it does in the education
world.
So, what do we do when this happens? Let
me share with you a couple of examples that have occurred in the past couple
of years:
-
A CTF is very excited about C-Tech's latest Fiber
Optics program, but they just don't have the money. All of a sudden
about half the money becomes available. They place a purchase order
for the upgrade. We ship half the order and the other half during
the next budget cycle when the rest of the money becomes available.
-
An instructor learns that he has about $2,300 to spend
with end of the year money. He wants to implement the Fiber Optics
program. The CTF issues a purchase order for two Termination
Workstations and a letter of intent to purchase the entire program during
the next budget cycle.
-
A school had end-of-year money to purchase equipment
only, and the instructor wanted to upgrade their copper program. We
helped him make that happen.
-
Another school wanted to upgrade their copper program,
but didn't have enough money at the end of the year and wouldn't be
receiving enough in the new budget. However, by combining
end-of-year money with next year's allotment, the CTF was able to offer
the latest program to its students.
Whether you are looking to:
-
add a program such as Introduction To
Telecommunications in order to create articulation agreements with
other local schools
-
upgrade your Copper and/or Fiber Optics
programs to the most current versions, or
-
update your complete program offering to
include Integrated Systems: Voice & Messaging
your C-Tech representative can assist you in
providing your students with the best training programs available.
