33. DEMOGRAPHICS & WORKFORCE GROUP, WELDON COOPER CENTER University of Virginia What does this mean for CTE? Job openings will return across the occupational spectrum, eventually. Help Wanted predicts return to job growth in 2011-2012. BUT recessions squeeze out inefficiency and pump up demand for skills. Educational and certification requirements will continue to rise (Wages probably wont.). Qualifications matter. Postsecondary education and industry certifications are essential for most good jobs. The cost of education is rising. Students should aim for degrees and certifications they can complete; a 2 year college graduate with certifications is more employable than a 4-year college dropout. Workplace Readiness Skills and work experience matter. Students will need to prove they can fit in to the workplace.
