National Issue•More than 80% of employers report “moderate to serious” shortage of qualified applicants.
3 major trends are driving the shortage• Manufacturing employment is rising after years of productivity-driven
decline• A significant number of skilled workers are retiring• Our schools do not produce sufficient numbers of future workers with
adequate math and science skills to meet the needs of manufacturersSource: The Manufacturing Institute / Deloitte & Touche, “Roadmap to Education Reform for Manufacturing” and The Wall Street Journal, “Help Wanted on the Factory Floor”
• People who influence young people do not encourage interest in manufacturing as a vocation. Source: The Manufacturing Institute, Deloitte and Touche, “Public View on Manufacturing”
…and Local Issue
• Preble County Schools: Most recent scorecards-- 2 excellent; 2 effective, and yet….
• Educational attainment in county lags behind state and national average
