- 173.
- 174. From the recentAspen Institute Convening: We want to focus on the importance of supportive resources and adults who genuinely listen and react to what young people say they want and need.

Now I know that my daughter can go to the university with the financial aid she might receive. Really good workshops, the information was very clear, well organized and good support from the students. To me all the workshops were very important because my son is the first to be in the first to go to college and it was good information for me and my family. Thank you all for your support I understand how important it is to do our taxes on-time so that filing for financial aid is not an obstacle in the application process. I became aware of the importance of the financial aspect, knowing what type of scholarships are convenient for my daughter and above all to take AP classes. Thank you for all you do for our children.

Relay Texas: 1.800.735.2989 (TDD) / 711 (Voice) Austin / Travis County Master Community Workforce Plan Leslie Puckett Project Manager
- 187. Background • In early2016, Mayor Adler and Travis County Judge Sarah Eckhardt charged Workforce Solutions to develop and serve as the facilitator of a Master Community Workforce Plan. • WFS and our community partners, which include ACC and other workforce training providers and funders such as Goodwill, American YouthWorks, Skillpoint Alliance, Capital IDEA and others, decided that our immediate goal would be to better align siloed systems of education, workforce development and employers to help move economically disadvantaged individuals out of poverty into local jobs. • We chose to focus on middle-skill jobs, which generally require more than a high school diploma but less than a bachelor’s degree. 187
- 188. Middle-Skill Jobs OfferPathways to Economic Prosperity Middle-skill occupations require > High School Diploma or High School Equivalency; and < a 4-year degree from a university Why middle-skill jobs? • Ample opportunity (60,000+ job openings projected in the MSA through 2021) • Relatively quick training in career pathways with multiple entry/exit points • Greatest growth in three key sectors: Skilled Trades, Information Technology & Healthcare 188
- 189. Local Talent PipelineDoesn’t Meet Labor Market Demand MIDDLE-SKILL PROGRAM COMPLETIONS – AUSTIN-ROUND ROCK, TX MSA Sources: National Center for Education Statistics, Interviews with local Community-Based Organizations, Texas Workforce Commission, The Conference Board Help Wanted OnLine Industry Baseline 2015 Supply (Community-Based Orgs, ACC, Other Educational Institutions) Minimum Expected Annual Job Openings (2016) Maximum Expected Annual Job Openings (2016) % Demand Met Skilled Trades 960 1,744 4,348 22-55% Healthcare 2,066 2,238 4,631 45-92% Information Technology 1,110 2,066 7,539 15-54% 189
- 190. Community Engagement isKey To date, Workforce Solutions has sought input from: • Offices of Mayor Steve Adler & Judge Sarah Eckhardt • Chambers of Commerce: Greater Austin, Greater Austin Asian, Greater Austin Black, Greater Austin Hispanic, Greater Austin Gay and Lesbian, Austin Young, Pflugerville • Economic Development: City of Austin Economic Development Department, Pflugerville Community Development Corporation • Community Based Organizations: ACC, Goodwill, Austin Area Urban League, Capital IDEA, Skillpoint Alliance, CAPCOG, Ray Marshall Center, American YouthWorks, LifeWorks, CAN • Industry Associations: Austin Regional Manufacturers Association, Healthcare Workforce Alliance of Central Texas, Austin Technology Council, Austin Chapter of the Associated General Contractors of America • Employer Feedback and Focus Groups: Silicon Labs, Samsung and its onsite contractors/vendors, Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Plumbers & Pipefitters Local Union 286, Central Health, St. David’s, Seton, Intertech Flooring, Athena Manufacturing, Travis County HR Department, Dynamic Manufacturing Solutions 190
- 191. 10,000 local residentsliving at or below 200% of poverty will secure middle-skill jobs by 2021. “Success” is defined as: • Full-time workers who earn $40,840 or higher after enrolling in training/no more than 1 year after date of program exit AND/OR • Full-time workers employed in middle-skill jobs after enrolling in training/no more than 1 year after date of program exit • Includes occupations along a career pathway that allow individuals to go back for more training/credentials • Career pathways have multiple entry & exit points • WFS identified 100+ occupations within IT, Healthcare, Skilled Trades/Advanced Manufacturing, Professional & Business Services, Legal/Law Enforcement, etc. that are “middle skill.” 191
- 192.
- 193. STRATEGIES OUTCOMES TARGETS AWARENESS& ENROLLMENT: Cultivate interest in high-demand careers • Economically disadvantaged residents are more aware of middle-skill career opportunities & training options • 30,000 economically disadvantaged residents enroll in middle-skill training programs TRAINING: Equip workers with the skills they need • More economically disadvantaged students complete training • 12,000 economically disadvantaged residents earn a middle-skill credential PLACEMENT: Connect employers with local talent • More economically disadvantaged residents secure employment • 8,000 economically disadvantaged residents placed in middle-skill jobs ADVANCEMENT: Retain & advance frontline workers into middle-skill jobs • More economically disadvantaged residents are upskilled and advanced in their workplaces • 2,000 economically disadvantaged residents advance (raises, promotions) in jobs after upskilling 10,000 Goal Note: These targets are cumulative: 10,000 placed/advanced over 5 years. 193
- 194. What’s Next? Since ourJune 1 public launch, in which Mayor Adler and Judge Eckhardt issued a challenge to the business community to participate in the plan, we have focused on several areas: • Expand Business Engagement: Build Skilled Trades/Manufacturing and Healthcare Industry Partnerships • Identify employers’ pain points – occupations that are difficult to recruit talent, certifications and skills needed • Work with training providers to find job candidates • Coordinate Data Collection: Develop a system to track progress for the four strategies (Awareness/Enrollment, Training, Placement & Advancement) • Collect individual-level data from enrollment, training completion through employment • Unemployment Insurance wage data 194
