Supply vs. Demand Do we have the correctly-trained population (supply) to fill what employers want (demand)? Education can affect the supply but not the demand. Short-term & Long-term We can look at both short-term and long-term supply and demand.

The Gaps Short-term Need fewer post-secondary degrees in Education and Training Need fewer post-secondary degrees in Human Service Need fewer post-secondary degrees in STEM Need more post-secondary degrees in Manufacturing Need more post-secondary degrees in Marketing, Sales and Service Need more post-secondary degrees in Health Science Need more post-secondary degrees in Hospitality and Tourism Long-term Need fewer HS studests choosing Arts, A/V Technology and Communications Need fewer HS studests choosing STEM Need fewer HS studests choosing Health Science Need more HS studests choosing Manufacturing Need more HS studests choosing Business, Management and Administration A comment about STEM… Think lower-level technologists/technicians—they will still be needed. Keep an eye out for new manufacturing companies coming to the area which may create a demand for STEM workers.

How to Help the Long-Term Unemployed DEW recently produced a study on the long-term or chronically unemployed and entertained ideas of how to help them rejoin the workforce. Highlights of that study concluded that: •Employers perception of candidates may be an obstacle. They would rather hire someone fresh out of college than someone who has been out of the workplace for a long time and whose skills they may think have atrophied. DEW works with hundreds of employers through our Business Services Division and can explain the benefits of services such as apprenticeships, OJT programs, business tax credits, and Federal bonding. •Jobseekers will also need to be up to speed on job search skills in order to get their foot in the door. In addition to resume writing, DEW plans to offer/will continue to offer training (computer, social media, interviewing skills, job and soft skills training), networking opportunities, and encourage volunteering.
Identifying the Educational Needs of Adult Learners • According to the National Center for Educational Statistics, over the next decade “…there will be a 23% increase in the number of adult students attending degree-granting, post-secondary institutions and only a 9% increase in ‘traditional’ students.” • About 43.5 million people aged 25 and older in the US have some post-secondary education but no degree. • In the Upper Savannah area, 55.8% have a high school diploma/GED up to an Associate’s Degree. • “Degree completion” is what many adults need to start or rejoin the world of work. • The USAV area is rich in manufacturing employment with 39 occupations on the growing list for 2020, but only 5 of those 39 manufacturing occupations require an Associate’s or Bachelor’s Degree. • Employers in the area have needs in Marketing and Sales (especially sales management and sales that require additional knowledge) that are not matched in post-secondary training. • Managers and first-line supervisors in retail establishments and specific knowledge of insurance, advertising, and real estate are needed in sales.
What Do Adult Learners Need? Five Most Critical Needs of Adult Students From an article by Victoria Berling, Executive Director of Educational Outreach, Northern Kentucky University 1.Programming that works with their schedules and locations: Flexible scheduling and delivery to allow adult learners to continue working and/or caring for family is a major need. 2.Relevant degree programs: Programs need to be aligned with their life and work goals. 3.Clear expectations: They do not want to waste time so they need to know what you want from them! 4.Feedback from instructors: Lack of confidence in a classroom setting makes adult learners need reassurance in their performance. 5.Acknowledgement of prior learning: To recognize experience and decrease costs, they want to earn credits through portfolio and/or testing options.

    How to Helpthe Long-Term Unemployed DEW recently produced a study on the long-term or chronically unemployed and entertained ideas of how to help them rejoin the workforce. Highlights of that study concluded that: •Employers perception of candidates may be an obstacle. They would rather hire someone fresh out of college than someone who has been out of the workplace for a long time and whose skills they may think have atrophied. DEW works with hundreds of employers through our Business Services Division and can explain the benefits of services such as apprenticeships, OJT programs, business tax credits, and Federal bonding. •Jobseekers will also need to be up to speed on job search skills in order to get their foot in the door. In addition to resume writing, DEW plans to offer/will continue to offer training (computer, social media, interviewing skills, job and soft skills training), networking opportunities, and encourage volunteering.

    Identifying the EducationalNeeds of Adult Learners • According to the National Center for Educational Statistics, over the next decade “…there will be a 23% increase in the number of adult students attending degree-granting, post-secondary institutions and only a 9% increase in ‘traditional’ students.” • About 43.5 million people aged 25 and older in the US have some post-secondary education but no degree. • In the Upper Savannah area, 55.8% have a high school diploma/GED up to an Associate’s Degree. • “Degree completion” is what many adults need to start or rejoin the world of work. • The USAV area is rich in manufacturing employment with 39 occupations on the growing list for 2020, but only 5 of those 39 manufacturing occupations require an Associate’s or Bachelor’s Degree. • Employers in the area have needs in Marketing and Sales (especially sales management and sales that require additional knowledge) that are not matched in post-secondary training. • Managers and first-line supervisors in retail establishments and specific knowledge of insurance, advertising, and real estate are needed in sales.

    What Do AdultLearners Need? Five Most Critical Needs of Adult Students From an article by Victoria Berling, Executive Director of Educational Outreach, Northern Kentucky University 1.Programming that works with their schedules and locations: Flexible scheduling and delivery to allow adult learners to continue working and/or caring for family is a major need. 2.Relevant degree programs: Programs need to be aligned with their life and work goals. 3.Clear expectations: They do not want to waste time so they need to know what you want from them! 4.Feedback from instructors: Lack of confidence in a classroom setting makes adult learners need reassurance in their performance. 5.Acknowledgement of prior learning: To recognize experience and decrease costs, they want to earn credits through portfolio and/or testing options.

Editor's Notes

  • #2 So what do you want to be when you grow up? Think about it because I might ask you later! <<Tell a little about yourself and your background…>>
  • #3 The goal for today is to let you see data and sources that will help your students make good career choices. Careers that pay well and have a future.
  • #7 So, let’s look at the population and labor force in South Carolina. We will use SC data today since you are from all over the state.
  • #8 So, let’s look at the population and labor force in South Carolina. We will use SC data today since you are from all over the state.
  • #9 In order to know what you face in an adult ed environment, you need to understand the make-up of what is coming through your doors. This table shows population characteristics for the state and for the 3 largest counties. You can see that over 23% of the population in SC is under 18 years old. There is also a large group, 14.1%, that is 65 years or older. The state is predominately white, with over 28% black. This varies by county as you can see with Richland County being almost even between black and white, while Greenville County has only 18% black. We will talk in more depth about high school graduates and Bachelor’s degrees later on. It is interesting to see the percentages of languages spent at home that are other than English: Greenville has over 11%!

  • #12 Before you can really understand the labor force, you need to understand some definitions… EMPLOYED: People 16 or older who worked FOR PAY anytime during the week of the 12th of the month. You might think that is an arbritary date but the 12th was picked because it is the date closest to the middle of the month that has the fewest national holidays. UNEMPLOYED: Same age group but want a job and are able to work. We call this the “able and available rule”: you are able to work (you have transportation and child or elder care figured out, and you are not sick, and you are available for work. LABOR FORCE: Just employed and unemployed added together UNEMP. RATE: Just a mathematical equation of the unemployment divided by the labor force. The unemployment rate is NOT just everyone who gets an unemployment check. It is more than that. Initial unemployment claims are included but the “recipe” also includes employment, turnover, layoffs, and data from neighboring states that share a labor market.
  • #47 This is the BLS website, one of the hard ones to navigate… Check out what the arrow is pointing to…BLS will soon have more information for students and teachers!
  • #48 But here are some teacher-friendly parts of the BLS website:
  • #49 The US Census Bureau should be familiar to all of us and the keeper of the data about the population. It has a vast amount of information but can be hard to navigate. They do have a great teacher resource through…
  • #50 This puts all of the education/school-related Census resources in one place. Facts for Features is very timely—it has Back to School statistics up now—Yes, already!! They also have lesson plans and teaching ideas. It’s a great resource!
