  1. DCCCD Workforce Summit February 15, 2008 “Our Children are the most important assets of our country; they deserve at least the heritage that was passed to us…a level of mathematics, science and technology education that is the finest in the world, without sacrificing the American birthright of personal choice, equity and opportunity.” National Science Board Commission… a generation ago Presenter: John Shellene President Sherpa Management Partners www.sherpamanagement.com

  2. HERE IN TEXAS • Texas currently has 466,570 employed in scientific and technical positions (source: TWC) • The average high tech wage is $68,387 versus the average private sector wage of $35,695 (source NACE) • BUT: • Less than 15% of high school graduates have enough math and science to pursue scientific/technical degrees in college • 1 out of 4 math teachers have a math background • 1 out of 5 science teachers have a science background • Only 2 out of 100 high school graduates will ever obtain an engineering degree • Only 5 out of 1000 female graduates will ever obtain an engineering degree • Only 5 out of 1000 African American and Hispanic high school graduates will obtain an engineering degree

  3. WE NEED ENGINEERS AND SCIENTISTS! 6.3M jobs To meet current job forecasts, we need to add 122,000 engineers and scientists every year for a decade 5.08M jobs Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2004 2004 2014 “Ensuring college readiness and workforce readiness must be one of the primary aims of education. With the undeniable march towards a global, technology-based economy, that means our secondary schools must place a greater premium on science and math education.” –Gov. Rick Perry

  4. THE U.S. WORKFORCE AND IT’S COMPETITION • India is graduating twice as many students from college • China is expected to graduate three times as many • The Science and Engineering Pipeline today: • Full-time Chinese engineering students is 3,700,000 versus 380,000 in the U.S. • 42% of students in China earn undergraduate degrees in science and engineering compared to 5% in the U.S. • The U.S. will graduate 198,000 students to replace 2 million Baby Boomers in science and engineering scheduled to retire by 2010

  5. Other Nations are Already Outpacing the U.S. in Engineering Graduates # of Engineering Graduates Source: National Science Board, “Science and Engineering Indicators – 2002”, Table 2-18

  9. DRIVING COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIPS Educators and community organizations benefit because • Employers are more willing to invest their resources in programs that are aligned with industry specific workforce needs • Educators connect curriculum and content to the world around them • Students finally get, ‘Why do we have to learn this?’

  10. COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIPS: UNDERSTANDING THE DEMAND QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER IN MEETING YOUR REGIONAL WORKFORCE NEEDS • What jobs and skills are critical to economic development and business success for your targeted region? • Quantitative: how many? • Qualitative: what skills, knowledge and abilities? • How can you ensure that your region has workers with the right skills available when they are needed? • What can you do to optimize the workforce investments happening in your region? • What already exists in your local workforce that would be of benefit in your program that local industry can help implement, like integrated technology, processing, team building, etc.

  11. HOW DO YOU INTEGRATE WORKFORCE TRENDS, STRATEGY AND SOLUTIONS INTO CLASSROOM PEDAGOGY AND EDUCATOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT? • Define current/future workforce requirements • Identify required workforce (jobs, skills & numbers) • Determine timetable for workforce change DEMAND • Formulate Action Plan • Understand specific workforce drivers • Evaluate alternative strategies and best practices • Craft programs • Gain support GAP • Analyze current/future workforce • Understand labor supply • Project the future workforce based on current trends • Identify factors driving current workforce composition and engagement Execute & Monitor SUPPLY Evaluate

  12. TEXAS STATEWIDE INDUSTRY CLUSTER INITIATIVE • Advanced Technologies and Manufacturing • Aerospace and Defense • Biotechnology and Life Sciences • Information and Computer Technology • Petroleum Refining and Chemical Products • Energy Source: SB275 "This cluster initiative is important because for the first time in the history of this state, we will have a coordinated, market-driven economic development strategy that focuses on areas where we have the greatest growth potential and focuses on fostering that potential." - Governor Rick Perry

  13. INDUSTRIES WITHIN A DEFINED STATEWIDE CLUSTER Polymers, Advanced Materials & New Plastics Micro technology Medical Devices Food Processing Automotive Computer Hardware & Components R&D Firms & Academic Inst. Nanotechnology Service Firms – Financial Leg Advanced Technologies & Manufacturing Software & Process Improvement Power Generation Electronics Semiconductors Raw & Building Materials Robotics, RFID & Sensors Logistics & Distribution Consumer Goods

  14. TEXAS STATEWIDE INDUSTRY CLUSTER ASSESSMENT INFORMATION SOURCE: http://www.twc.state.tx.us/news/ticluster.html • Look for current Texas industry/workforce data, overviews and recommendations for: • Projected job growth • High-demand, hard-to-fill occupations • Workforce and education • Strategic partnerships • Technology targets of opportunity • Business climate trends • Statewide SWOT analysis • Core industry sectors throughout the state • Emerging industries trends the state plans to focus on • Some of those ‘big ideas’ of innovation and commercialization focus

  15. Meet the market demands for engineering and computer science graduates from participating schools in Texas.
