  2. Talent Development • The Greater New Orleans Region is addressing its place in the national and global economy through recognition that skilled workers are one of the essential elements for success. • Around the world, economic viability lies in the ability to provide a quality supply of workers to meet the market’s demand. Registered Apprenticeship provides that supply. • Historically the region’s advantage was a large supply of low cost labor, but that has changed.

  3. Shift in Strategy • Transformation & alignment of workforce development, education, social services, business & economic development systems through a formal regional alliance is essential. • Sector strategies aligned with regional economic development priorities. • 75% of the high wage/demand occupations require less than a 4 year degree, but more than a HS Diploma. Registered Apprenticeship often fills this educational need, depending on the occupation.

  4. 2008 Labor Study • Documents strengths & weaknesses of system; quantifies supply, quality & hidden resources. • Identifies demand by priority sectors & distinguishes gaps between supply and demand. • Defines a path to address needs & trends.

  5. 2009 Asset Map • Foundational snapshot of talent development pipeline - systemic baseline for development of education continuum. • Demand driven vs. supply model of the past. • Holistic Career Pathways: High School, Registered Apprenticeship/Community & Technical College, & 4 year degrees. • Regional sector priorities: Advanced Manufacturing, Oil & Gas, Trade & Logistics, Digital Media, & Healthcare.

  6. Gap Analysis

  7. Next Steps • Apply analysis to unified regional strategy and education alignment with sector needs that aligns stakeholders, including apprenticeship. • Enhance quality of & access to education for high demand, high-wage occupations. • Streamlined and nimble system that is flexible and responsive. • Policy & funding that rewards performance – jobs and creation of a middle class.
