Politicians on CTE
“I ask every American to commit to at least one year or more of higher education or career
training…community college or four-year school, vocational training or an apprenticeship.”
(President Barack Obama)
“…there’s additional training, vocational training,
there’s skills and apprenticeships. There’s all sorts of
things that people can do to upgrade their skills, to be
very productive and great workers here in America
who provide for their families and build their
community.” (Senator Rick Santorum)
“Everybody in America is going to have to get reeducated all the time because jobs are going to
change, technology is going to change, and if we’re
going to compete in the world market, we both have
to have the best equipment and the best training.”
(Newt Gingrich)
“I think what we say is we want someone to be
career ready or college ready.”
(Virginia Governor Bob McDonnel)
“I think that we all realize that
everybody’s not going to be headed to
college, that we have to have our
community colleges and good job
training.”
(Arizona Governor Jan Brewer)
“Higher education is important for
everyone and that includes, if not a
four year degree, and a bachelor of
arts degree, then a two year degree
from community college or vocational
training from a community college.”
(White House Press Secretary Jay
Carney)
Pathways to Prosperity
2011 White Paper from the Harvard Graduate School of Education
Post-Recession Shortage
“Business leaders are warning that once the recession ends, they could face shortages of qualified workers
in areas ranging from non-residential construction and energy to information technology.”
Job Openings
“The U.S. Economy will create some 47 million job openings over the 10-year period ending in 2018. Nearly
two thirds of these jobs will require that workers have at least some post-secondary education.”
Higher Earnings
“27% of people with post-secondary licenses or certificates - credentials short of an associate’s degree –
earn more than the average bachelor’s degree recipient.”
Today’s CTE
“Cutting-edge CTE bears little relationship to the old vocational education programs that were often little
more than dumping grounds for students who couldn’t cut it in college prep. Today’s best CTE programs do a
better job of preparing many students for college and career than traditional academics-only programs.”
College Drop-Outs
“The U.S. now has the highest college dropout rate in the industrialized world. The list of causes is long and
varied. But certainly a major reason is that too many can’t see a clear, transparent connection between their
program of study and tangible opportunities in the labor market.”
Triggers for Workforce Shortages
• 69% of AEC firms expect workforce
shortages in the next 3 years due to
market improvements
• Key Areas of Concern in Filling Shortage
• Retirement of Senior Staff: 62%
• Shortage of current students in pipeline: 54%
• Lack of interest by next generation: 60%

Industry’s Workforce Challenge
According to CareerBuilder's 2010 Mid-Year Job Forecast:
 22% of employers reported that despite an abundant labor pool, they still
have positions for which they can't find qualified candidates.
 48% of HR managers reported that there was an area of their organization in
which they lacked qualified workers.
According to Manpower Inc, 2010 workforce survey results
 Construction ranked #1 for demand of qualified workers
 Construction skilled craft employment requests are the most difficult to fill
Will displaced workers return or have career changes occurred?
When will the aging workforce actually retire?
