The Initiative “Discovering Talent, Developing Skills, Building Careers.”

CURRENT SITUATION

Help Wanted

Shortage of Skilled Workforce

Right Now Nationally 428,000 + skilled jobs going unfilled Minnesota 12,000 + skilled jobs going unfilled

Between Now and 2025… The skills gap widens! 2.4 million manufacturing jobs unfilled Baby- boomers all hit age 65+ by 2029… In Minnesota alone, more than 20,000 new RN’s are needed by 2024.

PLUS: Rising College Costs Cost for Degree (Tuition & Fees) $55,360 4-years $30,212 4-years $10,800 2-years

PLUS: Burgeoning student debt Average Student Debt $39,400 $10,000 1994 2017

PLUS: Underemployment Of recent 4-year college grads Underemployment = having a job that doesn’t require the degree they hold. % Underemployed 44% 35% 2008 2017

The Cause

Market Failure: Education / Labor Market Mismatch Most High School grads are choosing the 4-year University... 42% 58% 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 58% 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 1/3 of jobs need a bachelor’s degree or higher.

Key Fact: Educational Requirements for Jobs in the U.S. Economy 4-years or more 2-years or less 33% But we’re sending 58% of students to get these jobs. 67% Source: Harvard University

We love four-year schools too! We’re just noting that the pendulum has swung over to one side. 2-year 4-year schools schools

But the need is for…

Our Premise The solution to the skilled workforce shortage is right in front of us. It’s not recruit from outside, but reallocate what we already have. We just need to get young people moving in the right direction. (one that matches the actual job market)

HUTCHINSON’S TIGERPATH INITIATIVE

Strategy 1: Realign HS Education  Mechatronics  Business  Public Sector  Health Care  Manufacturing  For-profit  Non-profit  Science  Design  Private sector  Education  Biological  Construction  Armed Forces  Technicians  Agriculture  Social Services

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 . Move electives into 9 th grade to allow for exploration.

Strategy 2: Build Educational Pathways Seamless pathways to earn college credit & industry credentials prior to high school graduation .  College credit in high school.  Industry recognized certifications earned in high school.

Strategy 3: Change Stereotypes Show what careers look like in the 21 st century. Outdated Stereotypes about… 1. Manufacturing 2. Gender 3. Education & Career (2 yr. vs. 4 yr.) How?  Employer tours for students and parents.  Job fairs @ HHS  Bring high-tech manufacturing right in the high school  TigerPath Website  & More!

Modernized 21 st Century High School Center for Technical Excellence

Impact class enrollment Enrollment in first- year “pathway” classes is up dramatically.

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 Minnesota. CNC Vertical Machining Center (2)
