  5. Presentation Agenda • Silicon Valley Economics • Joint Venture Silicon Valley 2005 Index • Silicon Valley Leadership Group 2006 Projections • Regional economic status affects on educational programs • Manufacturing cause and effect • Regional and state technology education status • 2002 white Paper report • Regional and state Engineering Education status • Next Steps

  6. Statistical references: Joint Venture Silicon Valley 2005 Index Released January 27, 2005 San Jose Mercury News

  7. Regional Trend Indicator “The 2005 Index shows that Silicon Valley is experiencing job losses and economic stress, as well as gains in income, productivity, entrepreneurship and new investments in innovation. In recent years, how we grow has changed, raising serious questions about how well people and communities are prepared for the region’s high-productivity, high-innovation economy.”

  8. Regional Trend Indicator • Jobs – losses / gains “While industry cluster employment fell by more than 3%, jobs grew approximately 2% in business services, construction and health care. • Creation of new firms “While jobs continued to decline, the level of entrepreneurship and investments in innovation increased. The region experienced a net gain of about 23,800 new companies between 2000 and 2002.” The average size of new firms was seven employees during this time.

  9. Regional Trend Indicator • “The reality today is that many residents are not prepared to participate in this economy.” • “A high percentage of Software (70%), Semiconductor (58%) and Computer and Communications Hardware (57%) industry cluster jobs are in high-skilled design occupations.”

  10. www.svlg.net Released Sept. 21. 2005 Regional Trend Indicator Education and Workforce Preparation

  11. Regional Trend Indicator “A highly skilled, trained and adaptable workforce remains the key to sustaining Silicon Valley… In spite of the challenges that continue to hamper the valley’s education system, SVLG’s “CEO Business Climate Survey” found that a highly skilled labor force and access to elite universities stood out as the most important benefits of doing business in Silicon Valley. Valley CEOs continue to rely on local talent and research capacity to energize our innovation economy.”

  12. Regional Trend Indicator “… However, homegrown talent is becoming a scarce resource… the alarming decline is in the number of American students training to be scientists, as reported by the National Science Board, companies must train from within, look outside or change course. This is particularly concerning as emerging fields like nano- and biotechnology will require employees with awell-rounded background including math, science, engineering, business and ethics.”

  13. Regional Trend Indicator “The State Employment Development Department projects that chemists, biomedical engineers and computer systems administrators are among the fastest growing fields in the region (40-50% increase). Thus, there has never been a more important time for universities, community colleges, vocational education and other training programs to ensure that the Silicon Valley companies have access to a workforce with the skills needed to compete with other regions in and out of the United States.”

  14. Regional Trend Indicator • Challenges facing the Valley’s local public and private universities and colleges: • High remediation rates for entering freshman • By 2013 the states community colleges may need to expand capacity by 50% • Since 1999 student fees in CSU system risen by 60%

  15. Regional Trend Indicator • College Trends: • Community Colleges • San Jose State University

  31. How Does the California Economy affect our California Career Education Programs ?

  32. The economy in Silicon Valley has affected: • School budgets reduced • Cutting high school elective programs • Cutting community college technology classes and entire programs • Lack of jobs reduces student interest • Manufacturing is perceived as “out” • Health care, nano-tech, bio-tech, info-tech are perceived as “in” • Career pathways become unclear

  33. Santa Clara County Technology Education Status The April 2002 “White Paper” Report www.svstrut.org Research Committee: Dr. Seth Bates – San Jose State Univ. Industrial Tech. Ed. Rendee Doré – Mission College StRUT Grant Director Ruth Madalena – Workforce Silicon Valley David McCready – Industrial Tech. Instructor (ret.) Cliff Monroe – Mission College Technology Division

  35. Decline of Technology Education Silicon Valley 2002 Subject Sections Laboratories Electronics Tech 28 8 Drafting Tech 39 16 Metals Tech 16 5 Wood Tech 35 13 Auto Tech 45 13 Computer Tech 16 10 Manufacturing Tech 7 2 Engineering Tech 20 5 2002 totals 206 72 1970 totals (approx) 860 172

  36. Decline of Technology Education • Number of Technology Educated Students… • in 1970 - 860 sections = 21,500 students annually • in 2002 - 206 sections = 5,150 students • 16,350 not technology • educated annually Urgency of Involvement

  37. 1996 1999 2004 2010 Reduction Of Technology Education Harvard University Study March 2005 • CA Graduation rate is 71% • African Americans 50% • Latinos 60% Crisis Minority Graduation Rate Are schools serving all kids needs?

  38. National Association of Manufacturers www.nam.org May, 2003: The Skills Gap: Manufacturers Confront Persistent Skills Shortages in an Uncertain Economy report. The study revealed that more than 80 percent of the surveyed manufacturers reported a “moderate to serious” shortage of qualified job applicants— even though manufacturing was suffering serious layoffs. In sum, what manufacturing is facing is not a lack of employees, but a shortfall of highly qualified employees with specific educational backgrounds and skills.

  39. Semiconductor Equipment Materials International • Workforce Development Institute called “High Tech U” • 3 day education program sponsored by industry to place 30 high school students in the high tech industry environment to create an industry awareness and promote post-secondary technology education. • 24 hour curriculum: • Team Building • Industry Economics • Math & Statistics • Atoms & Materials • Industry Tours • Semi Web Site use • Patterning & Etch • Basic & Intermediate Electronics • Future of Technology • Diffusion • Technology Testing • Gates Review • Human Calculator (how gates work) • University Microprocess Engineering tour • Working in Industry Panel • Educational Pathways • Job Interview Preparation/Techniques • Mock Interviews • Next Steps

  40. What does Technology Education look like for the 21st Century? • “Techademic1” Courses • Symbolic-analytic with a focus on high tech subjects • Research, design, manufacturing process and engineering • Analyzing, manipulating and communicating through numbers, shapes, words, ideas • Minimum associate college degree; soon to be bachelor degree • 1. A term that represents the skills and knowledge of a technology curriculum integrated with the scholarship of traditional academic subjects.

  41. 2. College-Prep Curriculum • Application-based academics, ie. Integrated math, science, physics, communications (written and oral) • U.C. A-G accreditation • Project-focused Techacademics, ie. Flight, electronics, ecology, product development, robotics, bridge construction, photo lithography, materials etching…
