Q: I was inquiring if there was a report that analyzed the businesses in the district (size, number, sales) and how that directly correlates to revenue targets for a community college department?
A: We do not know of any specific report that provides the information you are asking about. I would suggest you contact either the State Economic Development Office and/or the Aurora Economic Development Office for the best way to access the information. There is also a link below that will allow you to get some information by selecting various types of businesses and applying filters to get information you are seeking.
I do not know of any way to make direct correlation between business sales and revenue targets for a community college department. The revenue targets for your organization would be influenced by the types of programming you provide and the markets you target within your district. I am making an assumption that you are particularly interested in revenue that might be generated through customized training, workforce development, professional development and certificate programs.
A better resource for you might be ASTD's annual "State of the Industry" Report which provides information on training and education trends nationally. This could give you some idea of how your training and education programs might compare nationally and whether you are seeing the same trends locally that are at plan nationally.
