Maintain a regional focus on the six industry sectors that the Peninsula Council for Workforce Development has identified as key areas of workforce demand

.

Construction:

• • •

Although having suffered during the recession, remains a key sector for the region’s future growth and expansion. The Specialty Trade Contractors subsector was shown to be one of the region’s above average economic performers. Several key occupations in this industry were shown in the gap analysis to be potential areas of future shortfall with regard to the supply of qualified workers.

Finance and Insurance:

• •

Although small in terms of overall employment, is a high paying sector – providing the 6 th highest weekly wages of any major industry sector in the region. The Securities, Commodity Contracts, and Other Finance subsector was shown to be one of the region’s above average economic performers.

Healthcare:

• • • •

Region’s second largest employment sector.

Consistent employment growth throughout the recession and the recovery. Sector as a whole was shown to be one of the region’s above average economic performers. Is experiencing rapid changes in the types of workers it hires and the skills they must possess – will require significant assistance in terms of future workforce development.

Manufacturing:

• • • • •

Region’s largest employment sector.

Pays 5 th highest weekly wages of any major industry sector in the region. Drove recent regional employment increase.

Sector as a whole was shown to be one of the region’s above average economic performers. Is experiencing rapid changes in the types of workers it hires and the skills they must possess – will require significant assistance in terms of future workforce development.

Tourism:

•

Reflecting the prominence of the Greater Peninsula as a tourist destination, the Tourism industry is larger than one would anticipate based on the statewide norm.

•

Tourism also provides “bridge jobs” that provide the region’s youth with the critical thinking, problem solving, and soft skills that employers said they often find lacking in prospective job applicants.

Focus on the workforce needs of emerging industry sectors such as Professional, Scientific,

and Technical Services

:

•

Currently comprises only 5.8% of total employment.

• •

However, recent annual employment growth was 2.7% in the Greater Peninsula as opposed to only 0.1% statewide.

Pays highest weekly wages of any major industry sector in the region.

Enhance awareness of available technical careers:

•

Concern expressed in Employer Workforce Roundtables.

• •

Leverage existing resources to better inform high school and middle school students about regional technical career opportunities.

Create “fast track” programs to better connect separating military to regional technical career opportunities .

Close the skill gaps:

•

Gaps between the average skill sets of individuals who are being released from declining industries, and those required by expanding industries.

•

Particularly true in mathematics, management of financial resources, management of material resources, systems analysis, and speaking.

Find ways to address the regional outflow of young adults:

•

Greater Peninsula has suffered a loss of population among young adults.

• •

Continue support of the Youth Career Expo, Youth Career Café, and Youth Workforce Office.

Enhance regional business recruitment from local colleges and universities

Be cognizant of the region’s increasing diversity:

•

Greater Peninsula is a demographically diverse area that is becoming even more diverse.

•

Raises the possibility of special needs regarding integrating workers for whom English is a second language or who come from diverse cultural backgrounds.
