  1. The University’s Role in Cultivating a Talent Pipeline for Green Collar Jobs NYATEP Spring Conference June 11, 2008 Patricia Malone Director of Corporate Education and Training Jim Smith Assistant Vice President of Economic Development

  2. Preparing For the Emerging Workforce Our Mission: • Foster educational partnerships • Provide comprehensive workforce training • Leverage cost through funding • Facilitate and promote innovative regional workforce initiatives emerging for research and development centers

  3. The New Paradigm • Conceptualize around “skill sets” as opposed to occupations and these can bridge into several industry clusters allowing workers mobility in a turbulent labor market. • Regional workforce supply chain • Focused recruitment and retention strategies • Promote, prepare, and connect individuals with jobs and authentic accessible curriculum

  4. Corporate Education and Training in Demand Executive Graduate and Certificate Programs • Executive MBA Program • Masters Program in Global Technological Management • Project Management Certification (PMI) • Manufacturing Management Certificate • Fundamentals of the Bioscience Industry • Graduate Certificate in Networking and Wireless Communications • Management Development, Supervisory; • Customer First Culture • Business Communications, Technical Writing

  5. Technology ANSYS CATIA Inventor Pro ENGINEERING Unigraphics Radar IFF Sonar Digital Signal Processing Electrical Troubleshooting Fiber Optics LabView SAP, ERP Hot Software Topics Object Oriented Analysis & Design Java Software Engineering Software User Interfaces Software Design Patterns XML UML VB.net J2EE C#.net C++

  6. Education, Training and Career Pathways • Partnership with US Green Building Council to provide certifications and workshops on green building and sustainability: LEED Certification • Connect Long Island Sector Study • Suffolk Community College Advanced Engineering Program - Continuum of applied education through multiple local institutions • SUNY IT (Utica) Project National Information Technology Apprenticeship System. • Career Mapping in the Aerospace Industry

  7. Green Collar Jobs • Working groups formed to include: workforce boards, NYSDOL, Community colleges, AERTC partners, trades, USGBC( US Green Building Council) • Identify key groups to educate in “green” such as trades, architects, designers and engineers • Identify areas to focus upon: energy efficiency, conservation, renewable ( solar, wind, biofuels, ) • Educational resources: k-12, technical schools, community colleges, colleges, universities • Credit and non credit programs: Certifications, curriculum additions and enhancers • Gathering job data

  8. Compressed Air Efficiency, A Savings & Reliability Workshop Leed Certification ISO 14001 – Environmental Management System New Programs

  9. Stony Brook University Profile: • 2/3 of Stony Brook alumni remain in the New York metro area • Degrees awarded, all levels, selected fields, last five years • 2500 engineering • 1600 business • 2500 healthcare • In 2006-07 1,626 Stony Brook students served employers as: • Interns • P-T employees • Volunteers • 5-year MBA - 43 arts & sciences majors, 8 engineering majors • Entrepreneurship competition – 50% increases annually

  10. What can universities and other institutions of higher learning do to prepare the current workforce, as well as underutilized workers, to form the talent pipeline?

  11. Stony Brook’s high school and middle school programs LI Group Advancing Science Education (LIGASE) Provided training for 118 of LI’s 124 school districts: almost 19,000 high school and middle school students and almost 1,000 teachers • OPLITE- 90 school districts at full throttle • STEP (Science and Technology Entry Program) served 225 minority and disadvantaged students • High school student mentoring programs – 143 mentees selected as Intel finalists and semi-finalists; Siemens national winners

  12. Outreach Efforts: K - 12 • SBU is a strong financial and technical supporter of the FIRST Robotics competition, which fosters innovation and creativity at the High School level • Engineering and Computer Science Seminar Series – a program to expose high school and middle school students to cutting edge technology • Math Science and Technology Program (MSTP) to reform math, science and technology curriculum for the 10 lowest performing schools districts in Long Island • CEAS Summer Research Institute

  13. Participating Institutions Academic Institutions Laboratories Industries Energy research will be driven by an alliance of universities, laboratories, and companies.

  14. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™

  15. Renewable Energy sources – solar, biomass, wind, wave, other Fuels – hydrogen, Fuel cells, improve efficiency of conventional fuels - CNG, fossil, other Conservation and Smart grids Environmental considerations Over 80 current Energy Projects in these categories

  16. Industry Assistance Green transformation examples • Type “B” midsize “old technology” business - sheetmetal - • Suffolk Community College/Stony Brook/SPIR funded • 2 Computational Fluid Dynamicists • 2 Graduate Students • “New technology” - Energy Efficient Data Center – • new Jobs, redefined “old jobs” • Completely new culture

  17. Industry Assistance Green transformation examples • Type “C” midsize “high tech” business - Military/Aerospace- • Stony Brook/SPIR funded – multiple contracts, 5 annual scholarships • 2 Computational Fluid Dynamicists • 2 Graduate Students • Updated technology/leading edge infusion • new Jobs, redefined “old jobs” • Emerging new culture

  18. Industry Assistance Green transformation examples • Type “A” – developing startup - Hybrid transportation – • private investment then venture funded then Publicly traded (OTC) • NYSERDA/Stony Brook and SPIR funded Bus for Campus operations • 5 Graduate students involved in electronics/software design • 2 mechanical undergraduates on documentation project • new green jobs, some retrained “old jobs”

  19. Industry Assistance Green transformation examples • Type “D” – strategic utility scale renewable - offshore wind – • private investment stage • Consortium of public/private technologies and business models • Technology assistance for corrosion, composites, structural • Business assistance for logistics, manufacturing, metrology • Public education • New jobs and redefined jobs

  20. To achieve transformation in how we educate and train our workforce, innovate and commercialize technology, and compete in an ever changing global marketplace, we must realize that no single organization can have the impact that a network of regional stakeholders working collaboratively and strategically can achieve.
