21st Century Needs Educated, Trained, Skilled Workforce

Incumbent Worker Initiative found significant need to:
Train first-time supervisors
Train and coach employees on-the-job
Identify what works and what doesn’t
Develop guidelines for employers/ training providers on obtaining the best/most practical training
5
Shortages expected soon:
Retirements
Low unemployment rate
Government jobs are becoming hard-to-fill
6
Need to develop a career latticeto attract and retain public sector workers
What is a career lattice?Groupings of jobs within relatively homogeneous occupational levels (i.e., levels of complexity, difficulty, responsibility, that have a substantial subset of skills in common) so that individuals who possess most or all of the skills required for effective performance in one of the jobs in the lattice are likely to perform effectively in other jobs in the lattice with relatively modest amounts of additional training, education, or experience.
7
Career Lattice Program…
will provide supportive training for managers and supervisors to help employees transition from entry level jobs into higher paying and rewarding careers.
8
Possible Initiative OutcomesAssess effectiveness of existing programs to see whether persons trained were hired in good paying jobs
Develop an interactive access system for employers/employees to match them to appropriate job training programs/grants
Provide businesses with tools to prepare them for change/new workforce by:
training first-time supervisors on how to train and coach employees on-the-job
9
How to provide the tools?
Labor market information plays a vital role supplying:
Occupations
Skill sets

Between 2004 and 2014, possible worker shortage areas in Hawaii due to:
Fastest growing jobs were mainly computer-related, e.g. network systems and data communication analysts (5% annual growth rate) and computer software applications engineers (4%)
82,680 more jobs
More than 19,100 or 23% of these new jobs, will require a bachelor’s degree or higher.
14
LMI provides study programs and training information
Over 140 general study/training programs and 800 specific programs offered at postsecondary schools/training institutions in Hawaii
Describes course characteristics, schools offering training, and degrees/certificates available
Consumer Report Card System
Includes over 100 licensed/accredited schools/training providers: degrees/certificates offered; class schedules; programs of study; admissions, cost, and financial aid information; services
15
LMI will be used to track and measure incumbent worker trainees
Changes in skills
Changes in wages
16
Through career lattice development and outcome tracking and measurement,
CollaborationLong-term partnerships
are created with:
EducationBusinesses
Training ProvidersGovernment Agencies
17
In Summary…Labor market information plays an important role in workforce development projects by:
understanding the situationidentifying actionsproviding a basis for
planning18
Like our volcanic lava flowing into the sea and rapidly expanding our island territory, we envision
the spreading of LMI usage will provide an ever growing strong base of support for preparing and
preserving our workforce.
