Action Steps: Building Seamless Pathways
Who are the employers in our community?
Who are the larger employers, what common vacancies are anticipated with smaller employers
What do those occupations look like and what skills are needed
What are the anticipated earnings for the emerging jobs
What knowledge and skills are required for local occupations?
Academic skills, technical skills, “soft” skills
How do we support the transitions from middle-high-postsecondary-career?
Postsecondary credentials or industry certifications
What are the programs in high school that align to community needs? What are the gaps?
How do we inform the community?
New jobs/industries in the future
New trends in existing industries
What are the economic development priorities 2, 5 and 10 years out
