| 説明 | Building Tomorrow’s Workforce: Industry & Community College Partnership Key To Long-term Economic GrowthAnn Arbor, MI – Strategic relationships between industry and community colleges will boost our economy over the long-term by training tomorrow’s workers for future jobs. According to “Building Tomorrow’s Workforce,” a report sponsored by Lumina Foundation for Education, many future workers will be younger documented Hispanic immigrants who often lack higher education credentials. Regardless of the current economic woes, the workforce in 2014 will be strongly defined by two factors: the departure of large numbers of “baby boomers” and the rapid growth of the Hispanic workforce. These legal immigrants need greater postsecondary opportunities in order to fill expected gaps in industry sectors related to infrastructure and green manufacturing. “We found examples of successful partnerships between manufacturers and community colleges that are committed to helping today’s workforce gain the supply chain skills this industry sector needs,” said Jeannine La Prad, President and CEO of the Corporation for a Skilled Workforce which led the study. “These models have implications for every business and industry that will need to consider the inevitable demographic shifts that will shape the workforce for decades to come.”Overall, the U.S. labor force will grow from 147 million to 162 million between 2004 and 2014 entirely as a result of population growth. However, the proportion of “native” workers will remain flat over that time. As a result, without significant immigration, the national workforce would shrink substantially. Hispanics are the fastest growing segment of the population but they are also one of the least educated. If the nation is to fill the projected workforce gaps, there will have to be a concerted effort to better educate documented Hispanic immigrants. “Predictions are that despite today’s economic situation, the U.S. will need significantly more highly educated workers too as soon as 2014,” said Sarita Brown, President of Excelencia in Education, a partner in the report. “For the proposed economic stimulus plans to have long lasting and far reaching effects, we must value all our workers and further the education and training for legal Hispanic immigrants.”“Building Tomorrow’s Workforce” highlights six innovative partnerships between manufacturers and community colleges. Each program focuses on enrolling Hispanic immigrants with no post-secondary experience in college level coursework, on getting buy-in from employers, and on having strong commitment from a local community college. The programs are located in a variety of regions:•Morgan Community College and Cargill Meat Solutions in Fort Morgan, Colorado•Miami Dade College and Florida Power and Light in Miami, Florida•Instituto del Progreso Latino (a community based organization), Humboldt Park Vocational Education Center, a campus of Wilbur Wright College, and ManufacturingWorks in Chicago, Illinois•Shoreline Community College and Puget Sound Automobile Dealers Association, Seattle, Washington•Central Texas Technology Center (CTTC), the workforce development training campus of Alamo Community College; Seguin Adult Education Cooperative; WorkSource Career Centers; and local industry, near San Antonio, Texas•Cerritos Community College, One-Stop Workforce Center, and local employers, Los Angeles, CaliforniaFor a full copy of “Building Tomorrow’s Workforce” and to arrange for interviews, please contact Alisa Kesten at 914-833-7093 or akesten@douglasgould.com.
