Increasing Interest in Sector Strategies
• Increased employer demand for workers with specialized
occupational skills
• Research suggests that sector strategies:
– Benefit job seekers ( earnings,  job quality)
– Benefit employers ( productivity,  operating costs)
• Federal support for sector strategies is high
– High-Growth Job Training Initiative,
Community-Based Job Training Grants,
and so on
– WIOA emphasis on sector strategies

• Implemented initiatives that included some, but not all,
of the activities at the center of the framework:

2. Facilitated partnerships, assessed sector need, and
strategized solutions
3. Designed and executed training in partnership with target-
sector employers

Editor's Notes

  1. Trends that we are all familiar with over the last 50-60 years: The red line shows how the jobs which only require HS Education are in steady decline – they accounted for more than 80% in the 50‘s and now account for fewer than 10%. The purple line shows a steady increase in needed voc ed. But the really dramatic increase is in jobs needing tertiary education (this is secondary plus advanced training) and even more dramatic is the need for Experience and for Soft Skills.
  2. The College and the Degree discussions in the US is analogous to the saying that if all you have a hammer, then every problem looks like a nail. The college is the hammer, and the problem is talent development… But perhaps the college and degree is not the right threshold… FIGURE 3: DEGREE GAP: THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PERCENT OF JOB POSTINGS REQUIRING A COLLEGE DEGREE AND THE PERCENT OF INCUMBENT WORKERS WITH A COLLEGE DEGREE In the Supervisor of Production Workers occupation, 67% of employers request a college degree in postings, but only 16% of the current workforce has a college degree. This amounts to a 51% degree gap.
  3. Employers require applicants to Supervisors of Office Workers positions to have a bachelor’s degree, even though most supervisors currently employed in the occupation don’t have one.
  4. Grantees formed cross-agency teams (local and state level)
  5. Notes: ENGAGING EMPLOYERS. Work up-front with employers to determine local hiring needs and design training programs that are responsive to those needs, from which employers will hire.   EARN AND LEARN. Offer work-based learning opportunities with employers – on-the-job training, internships, pre-apprenticeships, and Registered Apprenticeships – as training paths to employment.   SMART CHOICES. Make better use of data to drive accountability, inform what programs are offered and what is taught, and offer user-friendly information for job seekers to choose programs and pathways that work for them.   MEASURING MATTERS. Measure and evaluate employment and earnings outcomes.
  6. Apprentice wage depends on e.g. unions Cost Timing depends on financing of general education by government Wage compression affected by e.g. labour market frictions, unions
  7. Cost benefit – Even at a cost of $50K-$150K per apprentice over 3-4 years, the businesses get a full return on their investment
