3 Twice as many openings Need to develop skills that lead directly to jobs

4 The Experts

5 Unemployment 200 million people out of work around the globe million people unemployed in the U.S. 2 U.S. will need to create 21 million new jobs this decade 3 If the United States (Commonwealth of Puerto Rico) wants to remain competitive in a high-tech global marketplace, we must have the most competent and innovative workforce possible! 1 International Labor Organization; 2 Bureau of Labor Statistics, US Department of Labor, February 1, 2013 Report; 3 Full employment as 5 percent unemployment, roughly the amount before the recession.

6 Job Growth in mature economies: US Bureau of Labor Statistics; McKinsey Global Institute analysis

7 American jobs by Sector by 2020 Business services: Engineers Architects Scientist Administrative Management Technical Other

8 What are our Youth studying in Universities? College Graduates 1995: 25% of workforce 2010: 31% of workforce 2020: 34% of workforce

9 In the United States 45% of employers surveyed say a skills shortage is a leading reason for entry-level vacancies!

10 Education to Employment Although everyone agrees that education to employment is critical, there is a sufficient lack of data to develop programs that can lead directly to a job.

11 Overcoming the High-Skill Challenges According to a McKinsey Center for Government Research Study: 1. Education Providers and Employers actively step into one another s worlds 2. Employers and education providers work with their students early and intensely Over Worldwide, 2/3 of employers young people have are little 3x to more no likely than interaction their parents with educators. be out of work.

12 Siemens interaction with Educators State-of-the-Art Gas Turbine manufacturing plant Charlotte, NC Partnered with Central Piedmont Community College to provide training $350 million investment for a 450,000 square foot plant 700 new jobs filled; 400 more jobs by 2014 Siemens turbine Research Center at University of Central Florida $850,000 Siemens Energy Center Lab expansion $3 million donated to UCF over 10 years for Research & Development 400 UCF graduates working at Siemens Energy State-of-the-Art Wind Service Training Center in Orlando, Florida Demand for skilled wind service technicians is increasing $7 million initial investment for a 40,000 square foot center Employ 50 people and host 2,400 trainees annually

13 Siemens interaction with Educators Siemens is Hiring 400 College-level Students interested in STEM 2012 Summer Internship Program End of summer, Siemens recruits top performing interns to full-time employees Win-Win-Win for the Students, Universities & SIemens Teens Claim Top Prize in Math, Science & Technology Competition Angela Zhang won a $100,000 college scholarship Six individuals won scholarships ranging from $50,000 to $10,000 Six teams won scholarships ranging from $50,000 to $10,000 Siemens Awards over 100 Scholarships to Medical Lab Students Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Scholarship Program Awarded $125,000 in scholarships to the nation s top students of medical lab science

14 Partnerships with Education Providers

15 Challenges: Resources, Equipment, Mandates Aging Infrastructure In need of major improvements Equipment Failures High Energy Costs Sustainability Goals/Mandates New Unfunded Mandates for energy reduction, CO 2, LEED, Energy Star Voters Green Expectations Budget Constraints Capital Budget Constraints Businesses shutting down or leaving Reduction in tax base & Federal cutbacks

16 Guaranteed Performance-based Solutions Make facility & infrastructure improvements Reduce energy use and associated expenses Your energy savings finance your improvements Siemens guarantees savings Generate Improvements Modernization Optimization Energy Management Success Guarantee Savings Energy Usage Operation Energy Supply Finance

17 Energy Savings Performance Contracting Diverts utility costs to Infrastructure Improvements

18 Improvements and Technologies Higher Level Improvements Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) e-car Charging Stations Energy Modeling Computer-based Maintenance Management Mid-level Enhancements Performance Management Process Re-engineering Renewable Energy Central Plants Strategic Planning Inter-disciplinary Managers Smart Grid/ Micro grid Core commoditized HVAC and Control Changes Lighting Retrofits Building Envelope Changes PC Model Smart Buildings Green Buildings/ LEED Traffic Signals/ Street Lighting Smart Parking Solutions Traffic Flow Improvement

19 Building Operational Costs Technology alone is not enough Must Sustain the Benefit LEGEND Implement PC Project PC Project Fees On-going M&V Program M&V with a robust Maintenance Program Results if Benefits are not Sustained Total Value Added Sustainable Benefit Optional Improvements Enhanced Performance Assurance The trend of Operational Costs is increasing ESPC will lower Operational Costs with Facility Improvement Measures Without holistic commitment, costs can rise to original levels Traditional M&V with robust maintenance program to sustain the benefits/savings Continued involvement to identify optional improvements and savings Comprehensive training & maintenance program ensures long-term added value and increases total savings Robust Maintenance Program Contract Start Construction End End of PC Contract Small investments = Big returns!

20 Technology Transfer Program Training Program Designed to increase the capacity of local organizations, workers & professionals On-the-Job training program for under-skilled/unavailable trades, occupations, etc. Coordinated with local vocational schools or universities Technology Transfer Programs Participation of student internships (architecture, engineering, construction management) Employee mentorships for local entry-level and mid-career employees Peer partnerships for local senior management personnel Technology Transfer Enhancements Other programs not included above
