  1. SWAP SlideshowOrigins and Capabilities of the Strategic Workforce Assessment Project (SWAP) Richard Froeschle rich@cdr.state.tx.us Deputy Director, TWC/LMCI April 10, 2008 Strategic Workforce Assessment Project

  2. Texas Governors Clusters • Biotechnology and Life Sciences • Advanced Technologies & Manufacturing • Information & Computer Technology • Aerospace and Defense • Petroleum Refining & Chemical Products • Energy

  3. Can you give me the skill sets that employers in each of the Governors’ clusters will need? If fish could sneeze, and a whole school of fish sneezed all at once, how big of a wave would it create? The question that was asked? The question that I heard…

  4. Proposed Project Charter Assumptions • Understand workforce capacity on a regional basis i.e. WDAs serve as default labor markets • Create a tool to document a wide range of data-driven cluster status questions • Address current training capacity and provide a baseline to shape future training investments • Augment local cluster-based data development efforts, not usurp them • Use DOL/One Stop LMI grant funding

  5. Requisite functionalities of the SWAP software system (part I) • Provide a “cluster profile” including baseline and trends in employment,payroll wages and sales of the Texas & WDA regional economy • Provide projected job growth rates for each cluster, industries comprising the cluster & occupations comprising each cluster; • Identify critical occupations in each cluster and various occupational characteristics

  6. Requisite functionalities of the SWAP software (part II) • Describe the workforce pipeline for those occupations including training providers, core CIP program relationships and enrollments and graduations • Describe the critical skill needs of employers in each of the clusters • Provide a skills gap analyses to show which skills are critical to cluster development but in relative short supply in the region

  7. Skills Competencies -Technical/Academic Tasks/Duties Work Activities Hiring Requirements Skill Objects Proficiencies Learning objects Abilities Talents Academic Credentials Certification Qualifications Experience Mastery When you say “the skills employers in each cluster want”, do you mean SKILLS… or something else?

  8. Solving complex problems with data requires new data sets, data “stretching” and “crosswalks” • Cluster to 4 digit NAICS (Gov. cluster crosswalk) • LMCI Sector to 4 digit NAICS (non-cluster industries) • NAICS to SOC (staffing patterns) • O*NET to SOC (collapse O*NET occupations into SOCs) • BLS ED Pref and ED Attainment codes to SOC • OVAE/TEA Career Cluster to SOC (primary only) • SOC to CIP (occupations to programs) • CIP to FICE (programs to schools) • SOC to DWA (detailed work activity) • CIP to DWA (“Missing Link” project) • Extended and validated DWA library (“Weak Link”)

  9. SWAP Economic Development Companion Tools and Projects • www.texaswages.com • www.tracer.com • www.texasindustryprofiles.com Labor Availability Estimator County Narrative Profiles Location Quotient Analysis/Shift Share Employer Contact Information GIS cluster mapping • Local Employer Dynamics GIS Mapping • State Training Inventory • The “Missing Link” project (DWAs to CIP) • The “Weak Link” project (employer validated DWAs
