  1. Grow Your Own: A Workforce Pipeline Central Virginia Community College Stan Shoun 434-832-7610 shouns@cvcc.vccs.edu

  2. Where will we find the skilled (_________) we need to compete in today’s market?

  3. Shifting Demographics The Lines Are Crossing:A Growing Shortage of Workers Shifting Demographics are the wake-up call to demand robust Workforce Planning and Re-engineering of the Workforce Pipeline. The Crossover Point Expected Labor Force and Labor Force Demand Millions of People Source: Employment Policy Foundation analysis and projections of Census/BLS and BEA data.

  4. Students favor the social sciences

  5. 1970-2010 2010-2050 Decreasing Workforce Growth will Increase Global Competition for STEM workers Mexico Brazil India China South Australia Canada US Netherlands Spain France UK Russia Italy Japan Germany Korea Source: Deloitte Research/UN Population Division (http://esa.un.org/unpp/) It’s 2008: “Do You Know Where Your Talent Is?” Why Acquisition and Retention Strategies Don’t Work, p.6

  6. The Implications Cross ALL Market Sectors Workforce Shortages

  7. Option 1-Clone Them

  8. Today’s Workforce… A Melting Pot of Generations Boomer Generation X Generation Y Traditionalist • Personal and social expression • Idealism • Health and wellness • Youth • Free agency and independence • Street-smarts • Friendship • Cynicism • Hope about future • Collaboration • Social activism • Tolerance for diversity • Family centricity • Conformity • Stability • Upward mobility • Security • Economic success Born 1928-1945 Born 1946-1965 Born 1980-2000 Born 1965-80 Four generations are being asked to coexist Source: Based in part on “Meeting the Challenges of Tomorrow's Workplace,” CEO Magazine, 2005

  9. Option 2-Import Them Old Way: Workers followed jobs New Way: Jobs follow workers

  10. US STEM Talent Pool Compared

  11. Option 3- Grow Your Own

  12. Must be system orientated Engagement of all parties (4 circles of influence) Education Secondary Post-secondary Research & Development WIB/Government Business & industry Must be strategic, universal and completely integrated Requires institutional paradigm shifts Must include the “disenfranchised” Unemployed/underemployed Disabled/handicapped Prison population Focus on “how” not “what” Characteristics of “Grow Your Own”

  13. “Grow your Own” Educational Continuum I N D U S T R Y PARTICIPATION Middle School High School Community College 4-year University CAER Lego League Summer Camps -Youth -Teacher STEM Reading Program Dual Enrollment Summer Internship Technology Fair AAS/AS Degrees Industry Curriculum Work-based Learning W.I.B/Youth Works WorkKeys/ CRC Apprentice Bachelors Degree University of Virginia R & D Graduate Education “local talent for local companies”

  14. Middle School Activities • NSF Science modules • Summer Academies • Lego League • Professional development • STEM reading program

  15. High School Activities • FIRST Robotics • CTE/Dual Enrollment • Internships/co-op • NEED Conference • Professional development • NSF Science modules • Work Keys Assessments • Career presentations/fairs/marketing

  16. Post - secondary Activities • AAS Degree • Work based learning • Industry curriculum • Competency based • Engineering Program • AS Degree • Company Sponsorship • College for Living (plus) • Youth Works/W.I.B. • Early College • CAER • Computational fluid dynamics • Cognitive radio technology • Non –destructive measuring • Welding process improvement

  17. Results (3 Years) • 1,456 high school students have received dual enrollment credit in at least one course in the nuclear support technologies curriculum • 1,185 middle and high school students have participated in STEM modules related to the nuclear energy industry • Overall increase of dual enrollment of 40.4% (headcount) • Over 350 middle and high school students participated in summer career camps and internships • Sponsor 26 Lego robotics middle school teams and host a new district tournament. Also sponsored a regional FIRST robotics team. • Enrolled 41 students (two schools districts) in Early College:Transfer. Anticipate that 24 will complete their associates degree AY 08/09 (senior year). • 525 high school students have had their technical skills assessed and compared directly to those required by the nuclear power industry • In AY07/08 approximately 40 high school students ( three school districts ) will participate in a nuclear technologies programs • Over 200 students have applied to the engineering pipeline with 29 of those been from the technician training program. Seventy two of the students have company “sponsorship” • Received the National Careers Pathways Network’s Hull-Parnell Partnership Award (2007) • Support from 3 DoL grants and 2 NSF grants
