How Do Your Community Colleges and High Schools Know What Skills to Teach?

 

One of our economic analysis components addresses this very issue by projecting skills required in your future industrial clusters.

Our analysis asks: What if we were to create a vibrant new technology cluster, like biotech. What types of skills would be needed under different investment scenarios. In other words, we ask what happens in the regional occupational structure if a certain amount of capital is invested in new high tech biotech companies.

We engage the leaders in your local schools in a continuing dialogue about future skill training that supports future economic growth based on local new venture creation.

We also use our occupational skill projections to address the chronic skill shortage that your small manufacturing enterprises face. They can not grow and prosper without special attention to their skill needs, and if they do not grow and prosper, your entire regional economiy will suffer.
