On March 25, 11:00 PDT, EMSI hosted a webinar to discuss our recent economic impact study and program gap analysis for Community Colleges of Spokane's aerospace program. The report showed how the aerospace program has impacted the region and also highlighted gaps or surpluses where the college could tailor its programs to better fit the needs of the aerospace industry in the Spokane area. In the webinar, CCS Provost Nancy Szofran and dean of technical education David Cox joined Gabe Rench and Brian Points from EMSI to showcase how CCS is using the report to balance programs, close gaps, and demonstrated the aerospace program’s powerful impact on not just alumni, but the entire region.

- 7. Aerospace industry in CCS’s 6-county service region • 5 key aerospace occupations employ 871+ workers (0.3% of total regional employment) 1. Aerospace Engineering and Operations Technicians 2. Engineering technicians, Except Drafters, All Other 3. Avionics Technicians 4. Aircraft Mechanics and Service Technicians 5. Aircraft Structure, Surfaces, Rigging, and Systems Assemblers • Local employers are most likely to hire completers from the CCS program. • Median hourly wages are 25% higher than the median earnings for all other occupations ($23.28/hour vs. $18.46/hour)
- 8. Program Gap Analysis Supply & demand for certificate-level programs • Rural Aerospace Training: 121 annual openings, 7 completers (gap = 114) • Machinist/CNC Technology: 76 annual openings, 4 completers (gap = 72) • Aviation Maintenance Technology: 31 annual openings, 45 completers (surplus = 14)
- 9. Program Gap Analysis Supply & demand for associate’s-level programs • Machinist/CNC Technology: 83 annual openings, 9 completers (gap = 75) • CAD Design & Drafting: 5 annual openings, 29 completers (surplus = 24)

Economic Impact Study Economic impact of aerospace programs • CCS’s Aerospace program has 12,242 graduates. • Graduates are expected to generate $149.4 million in added income to the regional economy in 2014 (0.66% of CCS service area’s Gross Regional Product). • Top three programs for total economic impact: • Aviation Maintenance Technology ($41.8M) • Electrical Maintenance & Automation ($28.4M) • Hydraulic & Pneumatic Automation Technician ($24.2M)
- 11. Economic Impact Study Detailed economic impact of aerospace programs 1. Initial effect – wages paid to CCS alumni by employers 2. Direct effect – income generated as employers spend wages on goods & services at businesses 3. Indirect effect – income generated as businesses purchase goods & services 4. Induced effect – income generated for employees of all local businesses
- 12. Economic Impact Study Lifetime earnings of aerospace program completers Top three programs for lifetime earnings and positive returns: 1. Aviation Maintenance Technology $927,300 ($537,800 more than without the degree) 2. Hydraulic and Pneumatic Automation Technician $809,100 ($419,600 more than without the degree) 3.

Editor's Notes
- Thank you for joining us. We understand your day is packed full of meetings and so we hope our webinar is helpful and productive for you. My name is Gabriel Rench and I am VP of Higher Ed here at EMSI. For those of you who do not have much familiarity with EMSI, we are an economic firm that focus our research around all things labor market related. Our goal is to take complicated labor market data and put it into a helpful context for education institutions. For example- we conduct economic impact studies that quantify the economic value and impact that your college has on your region. We, in partnership with Dr. Walter Bumphus and AACC, completed a nationwide economic impact study that aggregated the economic impact of all the community colleges on the nation. This was a significant project and our goal with this project is to help community colleges tell their story. We also provide colleges with up to date labor market and real-time LMI (JPA) data to help colleges better plan where the jobs are growing and tie those jobs back into their program offerings, so colleges can better align their programs to their local economies. Both of these examples will be at play today, as this webinar will speak to how CCS’s aerospace industry impacts their local economy, along with how CCS is better aligning their aerospace programs to meet industries needs and demands in their region. With that said let me briefly introduce our panel
- I have worked with Dr. Christine Johnson and CCS for a number of years. And like most states, Washington is experience some challenging budget decisions- which is code for forced budget cuts. I believe the governor has asked the community colleges to find ways to cut 15%. Now that might not end up being the final number, but whatever proposal comes out on the other side of budget negotiations is going to create challenges for the community colleges. This is in addition to enrollment being down as a result of some positive job changes in Washington. So budget cuts are likely and enrollment is overall down in Washington. Well, as you all are well aware, every challenge has its upsides. Now it is more important than ever for community colleges to better align their programs to where the jobs are growing and to better communicate the economic value their mission brings to their communities and to their states. This webinar is going to highlight Community Colleges of Spokane’s impact on the aerospace industry their region and the state of Washington, along with look at how CCS is better aligning their programs to meet the aerospace industries demands. Before I pass it off to Dave Cox, please fill free to type in questions as we go along. We will answer your questions as they apply to the immediate points, or hold them off until q&A at the end of this webinar.
