  2. OverviewMajor Considerations • Globalization • Workforce Development Issues • CCSF Career Pathway Initiatives • Three case studies

  3. First Wave (1960’s present) Second Wave (1990-present) Job Migration Blue Collar White Collar Manufacturing Information Technology Business Process Outsourcing Knowledge Process Outsourcing Onshore Outsourcing Near Shore Outsourcing Offshore Outsourcing Right Sourcing Globalization’s Impact on the American Worker Globalization

  4. Comparing Education, College Graduates:

  5. U.S. Employment in Occupations at Risk to Outsourcing Source: Bardhon and Kroll (2003)

  6. Economics of Offshore Outsourcing

  7. Globalization • Globalization is Here to Stay • Paradigm Shift Required • Challenges We Face RE: WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AND DEMOGRAPHICS

  8. Work Force Development Crisis • A Crisis in Work Force Development • Skill Shortage • Labor Shortage

  9. Labor Demand Will Outstrip Supply:

  10. Projected Skill and Unskilled Gap in 2010 and 2020: 2010 2020 Skilled Worker Gap 5.3m 14m Unskilled Worker Gap 1.7m 7m Totals 7m 21m

  11. America’s Changing Work Force • Transferring jobs to a new generation • Workplace is global – not domestic • Jobs require more skills • The need for better education/training is significant • Workforce is more diverse

  12. Preparation for the Work Place 75% of new job growth requires some level of post-high school training. January 2003 Unemployment by Level of Education: • Less than high school diploma 8.8% • High school grad, no college 4.9% • Some college/associate degree 4.5% • Bachelors degree and higher 2.9%

  13. Employment Change Job Gain/Loss by Education: 1992-2002

  14. Work Force: Today and Tomorrow Groups Today 2010 2050 White 73% 65% 53% (Non-Hispanic) Hispanic 11% 16% 24% Black 12% 13% 14% Asian 5% 7.3% 11%

  15. Achieving Educational Equity:Educational Attainment Ages 25 to 29 by Race

  16. American Education Crisis As of 2000, 7% of White Students, 11% of African American Students, and 38% of Hispanic Students DID NOT finish high school. Dropout rates most impact the growing segments of our population.

  17. Each year’s class of dropoutscosts the nation $240 billion of lost income and taxes over lifetime of the students It is estimated that it costs society an additional $10 BILLION in taxpayers’ funds to pay for crime, prison and welfare expenses with each class of students.

  18. Pressing State Issues • 29% high school dropout rate (urban as high as 60%). • 75% of all new jobs require a college education. • California’s workforce is increasingly diverse and aging.

  19. California has a Basic Skills crisis 5.2 million adults in California lack a High School diploma.

  20. Californians are Undereducated 54% of low-income working families in California are headed by an adult lacking a HS diploma. The highest in the nation. Source: Working Hard, Falling Short. Working Poor Families Project: 2004.

  21. Californians are Underemployed 11.4% of California’s workforce is underemployed. Fourth highest in the nation. Source: Working Hard, Falling Short. Working Poor Families Project: 2004.

  22. California Faces Higher Youth Unemployment NationalCalifornia 15.1% 18.4% -White 12.9% 16.8% -Latinos 17.0% 19.9% -African-American 32.5% 30.2%

  23. Battle For Last PlaceLimited Choices Dropouts and under-prepared H.S. graduates • Competition for: • Unskilled Jobs • Training Programs • Adult Education or • College Preparatory • Crime • Welfare Options

  24. The Demographic and Economic Imperative • Educational Equity • Economic Gains • Workplace Competition – Level Playing Field • Expanded Opportunities

  25. Developing Educational Pathways • Accessing the system • Navigating the system • Performing in the • system • Transferring in the • system • Succeeding in the • system Barriers in the EducationalSystem

  26. Barriers to achieving educational success • Lack of preparation - 29% have not finished high school - Only 24% fully college ready • Lack of financial resources - Fees increasing dramatically - Financial aid not structured for older/returning students • Lack of information - About programs and aid • Rationing of educational opportunities • Other - Personal – childcare, time, esteem, etc.

  27. Noncredit Is A Solution

  28. Noncredit Overcomes Barriers • No fees. • Can start at any time in the semester. • Classes start at the lowest level. • Can change study schedule mid-semester. • Quick access to necessary skills. • Up-to-date technology. • Classes in your neighborhood, by your work, on the college campus.

  29. Noncredit Provides Pathways to Success for Expanding Populations • 65% of noncredit students of known ethnicity are students of color—2 out of 5 are Latino. • 58% of credit students are of color Source: California Community Colleges, MIS Data, Spring 2005

  34. CCSF – Working Examples of Three Career Pathways Program Initiatives • Biotechnology • Building & Construction Trades • Business Programs

  35. CCSF Program Philosophy • Learning with others: Link courses around a common theme, serving students who learn together • Contextualized learning: Put learners in active roles to solve the problems they face as workers • Relevant Content: Focus curricula on transferable skills and knowledge, now and for the future • Learning with technology: Integrate basic skills with computer skills

  36. Benchmarks for Good Training • Pathways to career advancement--every participant should be able to go as far as he or she wants to go. • Equal access to training for all workers--training should accommodate employees’ schedules, family needs, etc. This will include on-line courses, weekend, evening and on site courses • Courses developed through consensus and direct participation from the end users • Courses that are relevant, thorough, and engaging

  37. Student Services:History, Assessment, Ed Plan and Class Schedule • Meet with a career counselor at division or at college, identify goals and opportunities • Participate in both career and academic assessment as part of matriculation services • Meet with academic counselor to develop educational plan based upon assessment results • Select courses and a compatible class schedule • Pre-enrollment at Divisions
