“Our Children are the most important assets of our country; they deserve at least the heritage that was passed to us…a level of mathematics, science and technology education that is the finest in the world, without sacrificing the American birthright of personal choice, equity and opportunity.”

National Science Board Commission… a generation ago


Texas currently has 466,570 employed in scientific and technical positions (source: TWC)

The average high tech wage is $68,387 versus the average private sector wage of $35,695 (source NACE)

BUT:•Less than 15% of high school graduates have enough math and science to pursue scientific/technical degrees in college

•1 out of 4 math teachers have a math background

•1 out of 5 science teachers have a science background

•Only 2 out of 100 high school graduates will ever obtain an engineering degree

•Only 5 out of 1000 female graduates will ever obtain an engineering degree

•Only 5 out of 1000 African American and Hispanic high school graduates will obtain an engineering degree

HERE IN TEXAS


WE NEED ENGINEERS AND SCIENTISTS!

2004 2014

5.08M jobs

6.3M jobs To meet current job forecasts, we need to add 122,000 engineers and scientists every year for a decade

“Ensuring college readiness and workforce readiness must be one of the primary aims of education. With the undeniable march towards a global, technology-based economy, that means our secondary schools must place a greater premium on science and math education.” –Gov. Rick Perry


THE U.S. WORKFORCE AND IT’S COMPETITION

•India is graduating twice as many students from college

•China is expected to graduate three times as many

•The Science and Engineering Pipeline today:

•Full-time Chinese engineering students is 3,700,000 versus 380,000 in the U.S.

•42% of students in China earn undergraduate degrees in science and engineering compared to 5% in the U.S.

•The U.S. will graduate 198,000 students to replace 2 million Baby Boomers in science and engineering scheduled to retire by 2010

CollaborativePartnerships

DRIVING COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIPS

Educators and community organizations benefit because

Employers are more willing to invest their resources in programs that are aligned with industry specific workforce needs

Educators connect curriculum and content to the world around them

Students finally get, ‘Why do we have to learn this?’


QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER IN MEETING YOUR REGIONAL WORKFORCE NEEDS

•What jobs and skills are critical to economic development and business success for your targeted region?

•Quantitative: how many?

•Qualitative: what skills, knowledge and abilities?

•How can you ensure that your region has workers with the right skills available when they are needed?

•What can you do to optimize the workforce investments happening in your region?

•What already exists in your local workforce that would be of benefit in your program that local industry can help implement, like integrated technology, processing, team building, etc.

COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIPS:

UNDERSTANDING THE DEMAND


HOW DO YOU INTEGRATE WORKFORCE TRENDS, STRATEGY AND SOLUTIONS INTO CLASSROOM PEDAGOGY AND EDUCATOR

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT?

Analyze current/future workforce•Understand labor supply•Project the future workforce based on current trends•Identify factors driving current workforce composition and engagement

Define current/future workforce requirements•Identify required workforce (jobs, skills & numbers)•Determine timetable for workforce change
