Workforce Investment Board



A Workforce Investment

Strategy

Local industries that have a chance for long-

term growth and success because they have

some sort of local competitive advantage;

Local industries with a competitive

advantage that grow gold-collar (high skill,

high pay, high demand) jobs.



Lancaster County

Community Audit Project Funded by a grant from the US Department of

Labor;

Began July 1, 2001; Intensive study of Lancaster County industry

clusters using data collected by the PADepartment of Labor and Industry;

Interpreted by a group of local planners,economists, economic and workforce development

professionals, industry representatives, educators,and State officials.



A Conceptual Framework

Industry clusters as a planning concept provides

all of these systems with a common framework for

understanding and a common language that is

meaningful for all; Working together toward understanding local

clusters helps these diverse systems develop a

common vision of where each needs to put its

energy and resources;

Each system then follows through on the

implications for its work.



Questions to Ask

in Analysis of Data Which industries are growing and which are

declining?

What is the importance of an industry to thelocal economy relative to its importance tothe national economy?

How competitive are regional industrieswhen compared to their nationalcounterparts?



Results

Statistical analysis completed;

Validated with calls on-site through the PABusiness Calling Program;

Preliminary results analyzed by local SteeringCommittee;

Preliminary findings shared with Chamber,Economic Development Company, County

government, higher education, and local schooldistricts;

Priority clusters reviewed by CountyCommissioners and used by other systems.
