Skilled Workforce Development Plan Tiger Manufacturing
CURRENT SITUATION
Right Now Nationally 600,000 + skilled jobs going unfilled Minnesota 8,000 + skilled jobs going unfilled 40,000 fewer workers than 1-year ago
Between Now and 2025 The skills gap widens… 2.7 million baby-boomer retirements + 700K new manufacturing jobs due to economic expansion 3.4 million new manufacturing workers needed 1.4 million Supply of new manufacturing workers 2 million Manufacturing jobs unfilled Baby-boomers all hit age 65+ by 2029…
The Cause
Education / Employment Mismatch Most High School grads are choosing the 4-year University... 40% 60% Over 40% of those going to the University don’t finish their degree… University Other Destination of High School Grads
Harvard University Study Educational requirements for jobs in 2018 60% are going to the University, but… B.A. or higher 33% Unskilled 10% Skilled Training 57% In 2018, 57% of all jobs in our economy will require some form of credentialed technical training or an Associate’s Degree. Only 33% of jobs will need a bachelor’s degree or higher.
The Key Fact Educational Requirements for Jobs in the U.S. Economy 4-years or more 2-years or less 33% 67%
The Job Ratio is 1:2:7 In the U.S. economy, for every… Job requiring a Master’s Degree or higher, 1 Jobs require a Bachelor's Degree, and 2 Jobs require a 1-year certificate or 2-year degree. 7
The need…
Hutchinson’s premise The solution to the skilled workforce shortage is right in front of us. It’s not “recruit” from outside, but “ reallocate ” existing human resources.
HUTCHINSON’S TIGERPATH INITIATIVE
Build a talent pipeline Talent pipeline (we need to make this bigger) Talent pipeline Strategies: 1. Realign high school education. 2. Build educational pathways. 3. Change stereotypes of manufacturing. 4. Cultivate school-industry relationships. 5. Upgrade high school CTE facilities dramatically. 6. Implement Tiger Manufacturing.
Strategy 1: Realign High School Education Public Mechatronics Business Science Non-profit Manufacturing For-profit Health Care Design Legal Private sector Armed Forces Construction People Agriculture
Help students find the best possible educational & career fit based on their interests & aptitudes . No more “one size fits all” education.
Goals Make learning much more integrated, hands-on & experiential .
Strategy 2: Build Educational Pathways Seamless pathways to earn college credit & industry credentials prior to high school graduation . College credit in high school. Welding Machining CADD Mechatronics Building Trades Industry recognized certifications earned in high school.
Strategy 3: Change Stereotypes Show what manufacturing looks like in the 21 st century. Industry tours for students and parents. Job fairs of local manufactures at HHS. (help students learn about all the really cool things going on at our local companies) Bring 21 st century high-tech precision manufacturing right into the high school. Increase female participation.
Strategy 4: Cultivate School-Industry Relationships “Bring school into industry and industry into school.” “Adopt a School” program for local manufacturers & employers Required starting 2019-2020 school year Senior year internship with employers. Welding camp for middle schoolers.
Strategy 5: Upgrade CTE facilities dramatically Upgrading High School Career & Technical Education facilities and equipment will… Change the stereotype students and parents have of manufacturing. Get students inspired and excited about Career & Technical education and employment. Provide world-class equipment for students to train on.
This is what we had… Reinforces the old stereotype of manufacturing. Discourages exploration of technical education. “Turns off” students and parents.
Today… Hutchinson has the best equipped, most advanced technical education program in the State of Minnesota.
State-of-the-art equipment CNC Tool-Room Lathe CNC Vertical Machining Center (2)
Strategy 6: Tiger Manufacturing An authentic manufacturing business based in the high school – making real products for real customers. Woods & Engines & Metals & Screen Printing Building Trades Automotive Machining Specialty jobs Welding Job Logo Design Tiny Houses for area Shop manufacturers 2-wheel Apparel Cabinets TBD trailers Posters? Yard Sheds TBD Furniture TBD Repair Custom Furniture TBD
Tiger Manufacturing This student-run company will… Add relevance to coursework. Provide a realistic work experience. Build teamwork & soft skills. Foster critical thinking & problem-solving skills. Teach entrepreneurship & business operations. Generate capital to keep machinery up to date.

Next Steps 1. www.HutchTigerPath.com 2. Tiger Manufacturing (2018-2019) 3. TigerPath Coordinator 4. Internships become universal (2019-2020) 5. Industry 4.0
Industry 4.0 Describes the networking & digitalization of industrial production. Modern internet-based communication technologies are merged with classic industrial processes to form so-called “cyber-physical” systems. Internet of Things Near Field Communication Mobile Robotics Plug & Produce Manufacturing Execution System (MES) Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS)
