North Carolinas Workforce Challenges

• 4. Dislocated or young workers in economically
  hard-hit micropolitan and rural areas have very
  limited alternatives for employment.
• 5. Seeking good-paying jobs, more workers must
  increase their skills by accessing and completing
  education beyond high school or by earning
  industry-recognized credentials.
• 6. The recession slowed baby boomer retirements,
  but the impact is likely to be felt first and
  greatest in micropolitan and rural areas where
  more workers are near-retirement age.

41
North Carolina Must Consider

• ensuring that students enroll in educational
  programs that teach the right skills
• linking the curriculum offered and industry
  needs
• and integrating work-relevant learning into the
  academic experience.
• guiding students more effectively in their
  career planning
• good job opportunities go unfilled for lack of
  available workers.

42
The New Economy

• New manufacturing jobs require workers with more
  advanced levels of training and education.
• In many of these instances, however, workers
  entering these industries will be asked to
  perform different tasks and possess different
  skills than the workers who are leaving those
  industries.

43
Science, technology, engineering and math (STEM)
occupations

• A common theme among high growth occupations is
  that they increasingly require mastery of STEM
  skills.
• Jobs that extensively require these skills are
  often considered mission critical meaning
  that companies build their competitive advantage
  on the talents of people in these occupations and
  that companies risk losing customers or market
  share if they do not have this talent readily
  available or if the workers who occupy these
  positions have obsolete skills.

44
Postsecondary Completion

• Community colleges represent a critical, more
  financially-accessible resource for preparing and
  training the next generation of the workforce,
  both initially through assisting displaced or
  at-risk workers obtain a high school diploma or
  pass the general educational development (GED)
  exam and through lifelong learning.

45
Programs of Study

• The key concern among many policymakers is
  whether the programs of study offered at the
  states colleges and universities were relevant
  to business.
• Educational institutions must continue to expand
  the supply of workers with in-demand skills,
  particularly STEM-related skills.
• Furthermore, continuous change in industry demand
  suggests that the curriculum in postsecondary
  institutions at the universities as well as the
  community colleges should prepare workers to
  learn and adapt in a dynamic economic
  environment, emphasizing STEM.

46
We Must Consider Policies Aimed At

• Engaging education at all levels more actively in
  the state's future prosperity by ensuring that
  students enroll in educational programs that
  teach the right skills, linking the curriculum
  offered and industry needs, and integrating
  work-relevant learning into the academic
  experience.
• Ensuring greater employment stability through
  earned post-secondary education or learned
  adaptable skills by guiding students more
  effectively in their career planning and
  addressing the substantial education or training
  gap that must be met for low-skilled jobseekers
  or workers to compete for good-paying jobs.

47
Final Thoughts

• A high school diploma alone will no longer offer
  even a remote pathway for future success.
• For most, the pre-requisites to achieve middle
  class status is the new middle jobs
  post-secondary credential often a two-year
  associate degree at minimum sometimes combined
  with an industry credential and/or a four year
  degree.
