The “Skills Gap”U.S. manufacturing companies have faced a perfect demographic storm at the same time
massive changes in manufacturing processes have raised the bar significantly on required
entry-level skills.
M7
The “Skills Gap”“An estimated 46,000 jobs could go unfilled in the state in the year 2022 due to labor force quantity constraints. There is existing demand for jobs in
almost every industry, occupation and geography. In fact, it is the supply side of the equation that is
holding back increased economic growth in the state.”Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development
Bureau of Workforce Information and Technical Support

Challenging Perceptions of Manufacturing Careers
90% of Americans believe manufacturing is very important to economic prosperity.
If given an opportunity to create 1,000 new jobs in their community, a manufacturing facility
tops people’s lists. Deloitte: The Skills Gap in U.S. Manufacturing

Challenging Perceptions of Manufacturing Careers
However…Only 1 out of 3 parents would encourage his or her child to pursue a career in manufacturing.
Only half believe manufacturing jobs to be interesting & rewarding.

Competition for Scarce Talent
Companies are asking for help getting in front of young people and their influencers earlier, while
career decisions are being made.

What Influences Career Choice?
Students were influenced by their father (22%), mother (19%), teachers (11%), social media (4%),
and guidance counselors (3%). An overwhelming number of students (64%)
identified personal experiences as having the greatest influence over their career decisions.

Experiences CountUnfortunately, direct experiences with local
employers are rare. Fewer than 20% of students surveyed participated in summer jobs, job shadows and tours, and fewer
than 10% completed internships, co-ops or benefited from industry mentors.

A Training Gap?
Programs that combine on-the-job training with mentorship and classroom education
fell 40 % between 2003 and 2013.

Young adults are disconnected from the world of work
• Youth unemployment rates hover near double the national rate.
• Only 11% of employers feel new graduates are ready for work.
• Employers report candidates are not equipped with basic work-ready skills.
M7
The Answer? Career-Based Learning
Career-based learning provides young people with experiences in the real world of work where they can apply academic & technical
skills and develop essential workplace skills critical to their future employment success.
M7
The Answer? Career-Based Learning
“Why do I have to learn this?”
Career-based learning experiences (CBLEs) help young people connect what they are
learning in school to the real world.
M7
CBLE Continuum
Career awareness: career fairs, classroom speakers, plant tours, job shadows
Career preparation: internships, apprenticeships Career training: new-hire onboarding, mentoring
and on-the-job skills development

GROW. HERE.
Career-based learning is a low-risk way for young people and companies to “test drive” a
potential employment match, and in many cases can lead to direct employment.
M7
GROW. HERE.
Young people with these experiences make better informed decisions about career goals &
educational pathways and may be likelier to stay in a region that supports their aspirations.
M7
GROW. HERE. Campaign
• Experiences count. Let’s count them.• Measure the effect on students (career choice) but
also on participating companies’ hiring metrics• Mutually-beneficial proposition
M7
GROW. HERE. Campaign Goal
By 2020, companies in southeast Wisconsin will provide 200,000 company-based, career-based
learning experiences to young people (ages 11-24) and their influencers (parents, teachers and
guidance counselors).

Academic & Career Planning
• Wisconsin Statute 115.28(59) was signed in 2013.
• Requires that students in public schools grades 6 – 12 participate in academic and career
planning. • To be implemented statewide 2017-18
M7
Academic & Career Planning
Requirements include an analysis of local, regional, and state labor market needs and the
education & training requirements for occupations that will fill those needs, as well as a strategy to engage
businesses in implementing ACP.

Long-term Impact - 2025• Poaching is a zero-sum game.
• The most successful companies and industries will be those that engage a continuous pipeline of
talent to fuel a long-term growth strategy. • GROW HERE is SE Wisconsin’s long-term,
proactive approach to talent attraction, development and retention.
