Critical Components Driving Success • Identify Regional Economic Demands (Data Validation) • Develop Implementation Timeline • Engage Industry Leaders • Engage Faculty • Audit Programs of Study • Map Certification to Programs (adjust as needed); • Develop Certification Partnerships • Deploy Dream It Do It (Student Recruitment) • Assess Faculty and Implement Professional Development • Develop Benchmarks • Driving a Policy Agenda

  5. Next Generation Manufacturing in the Winston-Salem Region The Business Case for Adopting the NAM-Endorsed Skills Certification System

  6. Manufacturing is a major economic driver in the region • Winston-Salem Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) = Forsyth, Stokes, Davie, and Yadkin counties • 582 companies • 25,367 workers (12% of all jobs) • Average wage of $50,960 (25% higher than workers in all other industries - $40,185) • Manufacturing jobs are good, family-wage jobs.

  7. Projected Top Growth Industries (2010-2015) Organized by highest projected growth in absolute numbers, descending.

  8. Emerging Opportunities 2010-2015

  9. Regional demand for skilled manufacturing workers in top emerging industries - Associates Degree *The data highlight total demand for these high-skilled workers across all industries. Five year demand includes new and replacement workers.

  10. Maximizing Flexibility Electronic Instrument Manufacturing Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturing Aerospace Product & Parts Manufacturing Steel Product Manufacturing Plastics Product Manufacturing Machinery Manufacturing Foundational Skills + Cross-Cutting Technical Skills (and the industry-based credentials that support them)

  11. NAM Skills System Deployment Four focus program areas: • Mechanical Engineering Technologies • Machining Technologies • Industrial System Technologies • Welding Curriculum of all programs reviewed for alignment with industry certifications; gaps identified and filled

  12. Alignment with Industry Requirements • Industry Certifications Offered: • National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC) (Reading for Information, Applied Math, Locating Information) • Manufacturing Skills Standards Council (MSSC) (Maintenance Awareness) • American Welding Society (AWS) • National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS)

  13. Aligning Education, Certification and Career Pathways For the Mechanical and Engineering Fields at Forsyth Technical Community College, Winston Salem, NC

  14. Credentialing Results • National Career Readiness Certificate • 165 Certificates issued • 1 platinum • 37 gold • 104 silver • 23 bronze • National Institute for Metalworking Skills • 48 Certifications issued • 24 Measurements , Materials, and Safety • 24 Job Planning, Benchwork, and Layout • American Welding Society • 12 D1.1 certifications have been issued • Manufacturing Skill Standards Council • 9 MSSC Maintenance Awareness certifications

  20. Maximizing Economic Returns • Talent development is a key pillar of any regional economy’s competitiveness agenda. • Developing the high performance manufacturing workforce will help stabilize and grow manufacturing industries currently located in your region AND be “an attraction” asset for new manufacturers and job creators. • Integration of these manufacturing credentials into your education system is an opportunity to develop the pipeline of manufacturing talent, rebuild North Carolina’s technical workforce, and attract new jobs to your region.

  21. Required Actions • Policy makers and investors must call for and invest in alignment of educational and career pathways in postsecondary education. • Education leaders must align educational pathways in degree programs of study to nationally portable, industry-recognized skill credentials, creating more “on and off ramps” in postsecondary education and producing the talent manufacturers need to succeed. • Manufacturing employers must recruit, screen, and hire individuals who successfully achieve the credentials.

  22. Toolsto Support Success

  23. Tools to Accelerate Deployment institute.nam.org National Tools The Manufacturing Institute has developed a set of National Tools to accelerate deployment of the Skills Certification System. So, whether you are an educator, manufacturer, human resources executive, workforce developer, legislator, or thought leader, there is a tool for you to start impacting your community.
