  13. A New Workforce Vision

  14. What is Skills2Compete Maryland? Skills2Compete Maryland (S2C) is a new skills vision designed to: • increase post-secondary success • strengthen the skills of Maryland’s workforce • grow the middle class

  15. Vision Every working Marylander should have access to the equivalent of at least two years of education or training past high school - leading to a career or technical credential, industry certification, or one’s first two years of college - to be pursued at whatever point and pace makes sense for individual workers and industries.

  16. Principles of the Vision • A high school education is no longer enough for most jobs • More than 730,000 adult Marylanders lack a high school diploma, English language skills, or the literacy skills for workplace success • Marylanders need pathways to gain skills for economic success and to join the middle class • Maryland must be able to compete nationally and globally with a strong workforce preparation system for its citizens (students, workers, workers displaced by economic change, and those currently not connected to the labor market)

  17. Goals • Increase Maryland’s economic competitiveness • Produce more skilled workers to meet the growth of middle/ high skill jobs • Grow the middle class by providing opportunities for more Marylanders to gain skills, increase earnings and advance in the workplace.

  18. Maryland Partners with National Campaign • S2C Maryland is part of the Skills2Compete initiative, a non-partisan national campaign to strengthen the workforce and address the middle skills gap. • Sponsored by the National Skills Coalition, S2C encourages America to address U.S. competitiveness. • S2C’s focus is on jobs in the middle of the skilled labor market which require some training past high school, but not a four-year degree. • In collaboration with the national S2C campaign, Maryland, along with several other states, will craft their own similar effort, unique to the state’s need for a skilled workforce.

  20. The Skills Gap According to the National Skills Coalition, there is a shortage of Marylanders with middle-skills. Maryland Jobs and Workers by Skill Level, 2007 Data Source: Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation and the U.S. Census Bureau. Analysis by the National Skills Coalition.

  21. Higher Pay for Higher Skills

  22. More Education, Lower Unemployment Rate*

  23. Moving the Needle on Post-Secondary Success • All oars rowing in the same direction for a singular outcome under the S2C umbrella • State agencies – DLLR, GWIB, DHR, MHEC, DoD, MSDE, MDVA, DPSCS, P-20, etc. to focus and track their achievement • Other partners under the S2C umbrella will include LWIBs, community colleges, private career schools, and CBO’s.

  24. What We Can Measure • Community Colleges • Associate Degrees • Lower Division Certificates • Workforce and Continuing Ed • Apprenticeships • Private Career Schools • Tracking State agency referrals • CTE & Adult Ed matriculating to post secondary • Others TBD

  25. Many Partners, One Vision
