Industry: What’s the Goal? • Industry Leadershipin developing the agenda, the priorities and the strategies for action. • Industry Partnership demonstrated in a willingness to collaborate together (company-to-company), and with support partners. • Industry Commitmentin implementing action areas, including time, in-kind and financial commitments as required to realize goals.

  9. Why Sector Partnerships? • There is increasing debate about a skills mismatchin our economy: by 2020, nearly two out of every three U.S. jobs will require some postsecondary education and training, but 42% of adults in the U.S. (25-64) have no PSE credential. • 64% of companies say they cannot find qualified applicants for management, scientific, engineering or technical positions. • -McKinsey Survey • 67% of small and midsize manufacturers report moderate to severe workforce shortages, and they predict this will get worse not better. • -National Manufacturing Institute Survey • We are back in a tight labor economy, where skills matter more than ever in order for workers to get an edge and foothold in the jobs market. • We must address these challenges with fewer resources: steady declines in investment since the eighties. • Federal employment and training expenditures (non-veteran) down. • Higher education enrollments/tuitions up; appropriations down.
