Fiscal Highlights - May 2016
UtahFutures Adds a Couple New Features while Operating on One-Time Funding -
Thomas E. Young ( PDF)On May 12th, UtahFutures released two new features to their website, utahfutures.org. The new features include a new mega navigation menu and an enhanced capability to compare and save users' workspaces (follow this link for more detailed information (http://utahfuturesonramp.org/news/2016/may.pdf). By way of background, UtahFutures is a career planning and education tool. The tool offers students the ability to take career assessments, offers job search tips and resume evaluation, and various other tools on the connection between education and the workforce. The new mega navigation menu simplifies the navigation and search functions of UtahFutures into a one-click navigation. The workspace enhancement offers logged in users the ability to manage and compare their saved schools within the workspace profile. Of relevance for policymakers, the site is being developed and expanded with one-time money. If the programming, site hosting, and development of new features is intended to end, be taken over by another entity, or in another way meant to be one-time, then the funding structure matches that intention. If, on the other hand, UtahFutures is intended to be an ongoing program, then the funding structure is mismatched. In the table below are the planned expenditures of UtahFutures. The program has some expenses that may be considered ongoing, including the 2 FTEs, and some development/hosting. Most of the expenditures are generally one-time in nature.  |
