North Carolina’s Workforce
Challenges
• 4. Dislocated or young workers in economically hard-hit
micropolitan and rural areas have very limited alternatives
for employment.
• 5. Seeking good-paying jobs, more workers must increase
their skills by accessing and completing education beyond
high school or by earning industry-recognized credentials.
• 6. The recession slowed baby boomer retirements, but the
impact is likely to be felt first and greatest in micropolitan
and rural areas where more workers are near-retirement
age.
North Carolina Must Consider
1. …ensuring that students enroll in educational programs
that teach the right skills…
2. …linking the curriculum offered and industry needs…
3. …and integrating work-relevant learning into the academic
experience.
4. …guiding students more effectively in their career
planning…
5. …good job opportunities go unfilled for lack of available workers.
The New Economy
• New manufacturing jobs require workers with more
advanced levels of training and education.
• In many of these instances, however, workers
entering these industries will be asked to perform
different tasks and possess different skills than the
workers who are leaving those industries.
Science, technology, engineering and
math (STEM) occupations
• A common theme among high growth occupations is that
they increasingly require mastery of STEM skills.
• Jobs that extensively require these skills are often
considered “mission critical” – meaning that companies build
their competitive advantage on the talents of people in these
occupations and that companies risk losing customers or
market share if they do not have this talent readily available
or if the workers who occupy these positions have obsolete
skills.
Postsecondary Completion
• Community colleges represent a critical, more financiallyaccessible resource for preparing and training the next
generation of the workforce, both initially – through assisting
displaced or at-risk workers obtain a high school diploma or
pass the general educational development (GED) exam –
and through lifelong learning.
Programs of Study
• The key concern among many policymakers is whether the
programs of study offered at the state’s colleges and
universities were relevant to business.
• Educational institutions must continue to expand the supply
of workers with in-demand skills, particularly STEM-related
skills.
• Furthermore, continuous change in industry demand
suggests that the curriculum in postsecondary institutions at
the universities as well as the community colleges should
prepare workers to learn and adapt in a dynamic
economic environment, emphasizing STEM.
We Must Consider Policies Aimed At:
• Engaging education at all levels more actively in the state's
future prosperity by ensuring that students enroll in
educational programs that teach the right skills, linking the
curriculum offered and industry needs, and integrating workrelevant learning into the academic experience.
• Ensuring greater employment stability through earned postsecondary education or learned adaptable skills by guiding
students more effectively in their career planning and
addressing the substantial education or training gap that
must be met for low-skilled jobseekers or workers to
compete for good-paying jobs.
Final Thoughts
• A high school diploma alone will no longer offer
even a remote pathway for future success.
• For most, the pre-requisites to achieve middle class
status is the “new middle” job’s post-secondary
credential – often a two-year associate degree at
minimum –sometimes combined with an industry
credential and/or a four year degree.
