5 Manufacturing Jobs Require Higher Skills Manufacturing Employment by Skill Group, 2003 through 2010 Index 2003= High Low Mid Sources: Chmura Economics & Analytics and Current Population Survey. June

6 Talent Drives Innovation A skilled, educated workforce is the single most critical element and predictor of innovation success. Finding high quality talent is one of the greatest pain points for manufacturers. As innovation drives U.S. manufacturing, the skill level required for employees has increased, pressuring the U.S. education system. 6 Source: The Innovation Imperative in Manufacturing How the United States Can Restore Its Edge

7 The Challenges Even at the height of the global recession, 32% of surveyed companies reported moderate to serious skills shortages in the hiring pool. Contributing to our workforce challenges are: Demographics. Technological advances Major deficits in our education system 7 Source: People and Profitability A Time for Change

8 Supply Chain Model of the STEM Pipeline 8 th Grade PK 4 th Grade 12 th Grade 65% of students do not demonstrate proficiency in math 71% of students do not demonstrate proficiency in math 83% of students do not demonstrate proficiency in math 83% = Lost STEM Pipeline 8

9 Roadmap to Education Reform for Manufacturing Manufacturers support policies at every level of education to improve the talent pipeline. 9

10 Manufacturers support: Technology-infused postsecondary education alternatives; Competency-based postsecondary pathways; Compressed secondarypostsecondary learning; Accelerated pathways to credentials and more on and off ramps to postsecondary education; More Learn & Earn programs of study; More internships and mentorships.

18 Models If you look at how community colleges are organized developmental education sits in one silo while non-credit workforce training sits in another silo. To achieve real solutions, we have to be much more integrated in how we deploy these assets.

25 Bet on America I want to bet on America. I believe we can win. I think talent is here and innovativeness is here We have to put the effort in and make sure that the opportunities are ubiquitous so everybody can take advantage of them. If we do that, our manufacturing economy will be strong for a long time to come regardless of what s going on in the rest of the world. Governor John Engler, President, Business Roundtable
