Louisiana CTE Labor Market Alignment

Research Questions: 1. What are the high‐demand industry sectors by

region? What are the Target Occupations by region?2. Do the IBCs earned by Jump Start students align with

each region’s high‐demand, high‐wage industry sectors? Will students be prepared to attain entry‐level employment in the occupations and industry sectors that will drive Louisiana’s future prosperity?

3. What is the match between the IBCs earned by Jump Start students and their region’s high‐demand/high wage occupation and industry sectors?

Louisiana Jump Start Labor Market Alignment Project


At this stage, not a lot of focus on the State Focus List

1. In 2016-17, there were 92 IBC options that had IBC earners, and a total of 10,397 IBCs earned by career diploma students entering their senior year.

2. From this list, 9,515 or 92% of all IBCs earned came from just 20 IBCs. Twelve of these were labeled ‘complementary’.

3. The WIC State Focus List of IBCs has 89 options. There were 37 (or 41.6%) of these that showed earned IBCs, and a total of 1,805 IBCs earned from State Focus List 2016-17.

4. The 1,805 earned IBCs from the State Focus List represent 17.4% of all IBCs earned in 2016-17.

5. Among the 1,805 earned IBCs from the State Focus List, 42.1% were in two IBCs; Emergency Medical Responder (482) and S/P2 Automotive Safety and Pollution Prevention (278).

• The Jump Start IBCs earned by LA students should correspond to the occupational/employment trends of their region, so graduates get the best opportunities for adult success.

• The LDOE should collaborate with the LWC and Louisiana Economic Development (LED) to examine all 4‐ and 5‐Star occupations from the statewide list, with the goal of establishing highest‐priority IBCs by region.

• The LDOE (in partnership with LED) should orient CTE leaders and school counselors regarding regional labor market trends that can affect student individual graduation plans (IGPs) and Jump Start pathway enrollments.

• Given the increasing importance of technology in all sectors, the LDOE should work with LEAs to provide information technology cross‐functional coursework and certifications to all CTE students, not just those in a Computer Science/IT pathway.

Sample Highlights of Key Recommendations (part 1)


• The LA Department of Education should strive for full utilization of the school year to maximize student course scheduling during the senior year. Incentivize LEA’s and/or students to take a full‐course load in their senior year. Courses should be used to work toward a complementary or higher level IBC in the same pathway, earn an advanced credential on the State Focus IBC list, or pursue work‐relevant experience aligned to their pathway.

• Revisit and modify the state funding and accountability incentive system to better award and recognize LEAs and students who pursue more rigorous, higher level IBCs on the State Focus list. The LA Department of Education should consider increasing the number of index points awarded to students who achieve advanced IBCs over and above the basic statewide Jump Start credential.

• LDOE and leading LEAs should collaborate to develop a “workplace soft skills” rubric and a catalog of project‐based learning that can be integrated into every CTE course.

BayouRegion


Bayou Region

1) The Bayou Region economy is heavily dependent on the oil & gas and the transportation of that commodity between onshore facilities and offshore oil rigs. The highly cyclical nature of that economic foundation plays havoc with occupational targeting.

2) Of the top 15 most issued IBCs in the Bayou Region, the majority are foundational or prerequisites for more specific certifications or cross‐functional across a wide variety of occupations.

3) Only two of the earned IBCs is directly connected to any of the top 15 Target Occupations: Truck/bus mechanics & Emergency medical technicians.

4) IBCs related to occupations in the Health Sciences cluster are significantly underrepresented relative to the Targeted Occupations list. Seven of the top 15 Target Occupations fall in the Health Science Cluster.

Capital Region

1) The Capital Region shows many potential Target Occupations meeting the established growth criteria – even beyond the top 15 identified here.

2) Three of the top four high growth industry targets are in construction related industries, as are many of the potential target occupations. Only generic construction sector IBC earned.

3) Although Welder as an occupation is not on the Targeted Occupations list, several of the occupations on that list like Millwright are required to perform welding and electrical skills.

4) Six of the top 15 IBCs are in data manipulation/desktop publishing which are cross‐functional but show little direct linkage to the top 15 Target Occupations list.

5) Target Occupations show greater demand for machining and fabrication and less need for electrical and welding IBCs.

Delta Super Region 1) The Delta Super Region has a mixed economic base, with health

care, education and consumer retail services as the main drivers. 2) Current job postings data shows demand in health care and

hospitality occupations. 3) The telecom industry and telecom installers and insurance

carriers and insurance sales agents and claims clerks were in demand but there are no IBCs related to either of these fields.

4) Specialty Trade Construction is on the top 15 industry list, but no special trades construction occupations are on the Target Occupations list.

Greater AcadianaRegion


Greater Acadiana Region 1) The Greater Acadiana region has a strong concentration of

health care industries and seven of the top 15 Target Occupations are in health care occupations.

2) Certified Nursing Aide IBCs were earned, but that occupation is not on the top 15 Target Occupations list.

3) The Region offers several welding IBCs although Welder as an occupation is not on any demand list. There is a tangential association with the occupation of Millwright, which is on the Target Occupations list.

4) The region has a stronger economic base in health care, retail and office administration but not a heavy emphasis on construction or manufacturing, which belies the priority of IBCs earned in construction, welding and carpentry.

5) There is opportunity for more IT related certifications to match occupations on the Targeted Occupations list.

Gulf River/Greater New Orleans1) The region is a diversified economy with strong concentrations

in health care, hospitality and tourism and consumer retail, but port operations and insurance also provide job opportunities.

2) Several of the IBCs offered align well with the New Orleans economy, including food service occupations.

3) Hotel Management has no direct linkage to any occupations on the Targeted List but has demand related to the strong Accommodations industry.

4) The region shows opportunities for several information technology occupations that may be well served by the Microsoft and Adobe certifications.

5) Despite better overall alignment than most, the Gulf River/GNO top 15 IBC list still shows a considerable percentage of generic/unaligned credentials.

North Capital Region1) The Region has some significant challenges to identifying Target

Occupations that consistently met all the labor market indicators used. Several Target Occupations dipped below the weighted wage threshold.

2) Six of the Target Occupations are also on the top 30 list of job postings, three of which are supervisory positions.

3) Two IBCs match well with Target occupations; CNA and Customer Service Representatives.

4) The Food Service IBC is generally aligned with several Target Occupations, including some that fell just below the top 15 cut‐line.

5) The construction‐oriented IBCs could be viewed as tangentially linked to Construction Equipment Operators which is on the Target Occupations list.

Northshore Region


Northshore Region1) Several Northshore Region IBCs have at least tangential

connections to occupations on the Targeted list; Automotive repair links to Bus & Truck Diesel Mechanics, Food Protection Manager ties to Food Service Manager, Customer Service/Sales can be tied to Non‐technical Sales Reps, and the Emergency Management certification has a limited association to skills required of Police and Sheriffs Patrol Officers.

2) Workers in Computer User Support occupations would benefit from background in Microsoft suite products.

3) There appear to be missing opportunities in maritime/water transportation and healthcare for which there are no IBCs.

4) With the above average job growth in the region there are also several second tier Target Occupations (e.g. those ranked 16‐30) that also offer IBC alternatives.

Northwest Region


Northwest Louisiana1) There is little alignment between the Target Occupations list for

the Northwest Louisiana Region and the IBCs offered. 2) Workers in Computer User Support Specialists could benefit from

the Microsoft product IBCs but there is no direct connection. 3) Several IBCs relate to construction but there is little priority

construction occupation employment in the region. 4) The region has an expanding health care sector but there is no

health care emphasis in the IBC offerings. 5) Although there is an IBC for welding, this occupation does not

show up on the targeted list, nor are there related occupations that typically use welding skills.

6) Machinist and Industrial Machinery Mechanics are both on the top 15 Target Occupations list.

7) Truck & bus mechanics connect to Auto Safety and Pollution IBC

Southwest Region


Southwest Louisiana1) Job growth in the Southwest Louisiana/Lake Charles MSA

provides numerous job opportunities in petrochemical, paper and transportation manufacturing, hospitality and tourism.

2) The Construction sector, however, dominates both the Target industry and occupation lists.

3) The top 15 Target Occupations could easily have been expanded to add all the occupations that met threshold criteria.

4) Truck & bus mechanics connect to Auto Safety and Pollution IBC 5) IT IBCs are cross‐functional and can be applied universally.

Minimal demand on the priority list for related occupations. 6) Although many Jump Start regions promote welding and

carpentry IBCs but do not have significant Welder or Carpenter jobs in their region, in this region both Welder and Carpenter are on the top 15 Target Occupations list but the region does not offer any related IBCs in these fields.
