6. What we heard from the field: The curriculum process is onerous and time-consuming blocking CTE faculty from making the changes they need to make in dynamic fields. Counselors, parents, students do not understand the variety of offerings and the terrific opportunity for good careers! We need help with outreach and marketing. The programs are expensive to run because of facilities, equipment, small class sizes that are required in some fields and resources are very limited. We need additional support to grow, expand and sustain our CTE programs. Our limited staff are required to report outcomes in multiple metrics in multiple ways. We need to streamline and simplify and count ALL outcomes. We need assistance in capturing and utilizing meaningful labor market information as well as working with our ED and WD partners within the region.

9. What we heard from young people… Skills gap and little understanding for how to navigate careers In many cases, we heard higher education isn’t enough to prepare our generation for today’s landscape. More job- training programs are needed for our generation to move past that entry-level job. There was a shared fear that college costs will prevent them from pursuing post-secondary degrees they consider critical.

10. What we heard from business and industry… College structures are very complicated for us to navigate – we don’t know who to call. Multiple colleges in our region have a specific program but we don’t understand the differences in their programs. A business can’t participate in half a dozen different advisory meetings. Engage employers as a region. Our industry and therefore jobs are changing every six months and colleges need to be more nimble and dynamic.

11. “While millions of workers remain unemployed and an unprecedented percentage of the workforce report being underemployed, employers across industries and regions find it hard to fill open positions” Excerpt from “Bridge the Gap: Rebuilding America’s Middle Skills” “America has more open jobs in 2015 than in any point since 2008 and in the U.S. over half of them are in information technology, more than in any major occupation” Bureau of Labor Statistics and Burning Glass

12. Our employees move around the state and their education may be disrupted. We need education and courses that are portable. To meet the needs of our health care system over the next decade, we need to train 400,000 health care workers in jobs that are changing due to technology. Improve coordination of technical training programs across campuses. Expedite updates to classroom instruction by streamlining the curriculum process Stable funding for CTE training in college must be established. More flexible course scheduling to meet the needs of working adults --Rebecca Miller Director of Workforce Development SEIU-UHW

13. Engage employers as advisors and partners regionally -Town Hall meeting 2015 Governor Brown’s Proposed 2015-16 Budget Workforce Education Goals President Obama’s Proposed 2016 Job Workforce Training Program Goals Alignment of workforce programs through coordinated regional planning efforts that are highly responsive to labor market demands and focuses on current or emerging high-wage, high-skill, or high-demand jobs. Meaningful employer engagement in the workforce development system, including partnering in apprenticeship programs, earn- and-learn programs, on-the job training, and subsidized employment opportunities. Adoption of common performance measures aligned among workforce development programs, adult education, and literacy programs. Creation of career pathway programs that lead to post-secondary education and careers. Attainment of industry-valued certificates and degrees Increased access to education, training, and employment. Regional alignment of workforce investment, education, and economic development programs to support strong regional economies. Improved quality and labor market relevance of workforce investment, education, and economic development efforts. Evidence-based job training programs for skilled jobs in high-demand fields that provide a path to the middle class for low-income individuals. Data systems to drive the measurement, evaluation, and continuous improvement of workforce programs
