Rebuilding Our Semiconductor Workforce
A dramatic increase in the domestic production of semiconductors requires a dramatic increase in the number of US workers producing them. Learn where the job demand lies, and more importantly, how to meet that demand through redeploying and reskilling workers.
Green Jobs Now
With sectors like the auto industry, tech, and even durable goods manufacturing making efforts to be more environmentally conscious, we’re going to need more workers with green skills.
Talent Attraction Scorecard
Using metrics such as domestic migration, education attainment, and skilled job growth, the Talent Attraction Scorecard examines how well communities are doing at attracting, retaining, and developing the talent that local businesses need.
Using Skills to Strengthen Regions
The common language of skills can bring educators, companies, and workforce/economic developers together to address the talent needs of a specific region or industry. By combining broad labor market data with more nuanced skills cluster data, we provide a snapshot of the existing strengths—and the shifting landscape—of a key regional industry and demonstrate how this data can inform local talent strategies.
Crafting Local Talent
While talent may not be as abundant as in past generations, it is there. The challenge for those in economic and workforce development is to bring out the talent already in their communities. Crafting Local Talent provides four tangible solutions to do just that and mitigate the labor shortage.
