Public Funding decreases – driving tuition too high 2. Technology - driving new delivery expectations 3. Retirements – driving skills gap 4. Skills Gap - driving talent shortages ~ Public Funding 1. Social entitlement programs are reducing education funding. 2. Reduced education funding requires increased tuition. ~ Technology “The Cloud” • Students want affordable and convenient training and educational services that lead to a career. • Technology provides these options; lower cost online courses (lower achievement). • Technology supports competency-based education and training. • Traditional college structures are beginning to feel competition from business model colleges. ~ Skills Gap In 2014, 600,000 jobs unfilled in USA manufacturing. 4 of 5 top-paying industries in USA are in manufacturing. ~ Manufacturing Leads To National Prosperity And Vibrant Middle Skills Jobs ~ Manufacturing jobs are growing in USA • 60,000 jobs added in 2014 • Off-shoring jobs are re-shoring ~ Building the Manufacturing Talent Pipeline ~ Does Manufacturing Still Matter? The advancement of manufacturing is the most important link to increasing economic prosperity For every $1.00 spent in manufacturing, another $1.37 is added to the economy – The Manufacturing Institute ~ Manufacturing Does Matter 90% of Americans believe manufacturing is very important to economic prosperity If given the opportunity to create 1,000 new jobs in their community, manufacturing tops the list 1 Manufacturing Facility 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Attract young people and veterans to manufacturing careers. 2. Educate and train them with industry credentials. 3. Set a supportive policy framework to support strategies 1 and 2. ~ www.themanufacturinginstitute.org USA Workforce Trends • Increased demand for skilled manufacturing workers. • Highly trained technical workers get best jobs. • Manufacturing and healthcare are in most need for skilled workers. • More companies are partnering with colleges in internships, cooperative education, apprenticeships, etc. ~ Trends • 76 million older workers are retiring this decade. • Higher education (universities) are unaffordable for most people. • Community colleges are training most technical workers and are more affordable. ~ Central Piedmont Community College Charlotte, North Carolina 70,000 students Six campuses and on-line courses Economic Development Leader; Global Vision Advanced Mechatronics Apprenticeships ~ Siemens Partnership With CPCC A.
