11 IMPROVE THE UNDERLYING ENABLERS Business climate /Rebrand WV s strengths / Establish plan to combat rising utility costs / Eliminate inventory tax Innovation business development / Convene innovation organizations in the state / Increase support to growing startups / Enhance small business support resources / Change mix of incentive types / Expand invemestment attraction capabilities Infrastructure / Create financing mechanisms to fund capital projects / Launch site certification program / Expand broadband coverage Human capital / Create concerted state-wide human capital effort / Expand STEM talent pool / Encourage returning/relocating to West Virginina / Combat the opioid crisis / Train workforce in jobs that are high in demand 11

12 Potential efforts that can be taken at the secondary education level Education 2 Employment (E2E): Engaging employers in the educa)on process Build toward job skills Embed "E2E" into curricula and support groups Greatly increase quantity and quality of content of information Embed E2E content into all subject areas (e.g., solve math problems that an engineer is likely to solve) Create experiential learning opportunities (e.g., field trips) Also inform key influencers (e.g., parents and communities) to aid decision making process Enliven vocational Tracks Increase attractiveness of vocational tracks: Forge partnerships with employers to provide apprenticeship, sponsorship & guaranteed jobs Forge partnerships with universities for curriculum design, shared faculty & student-tostudent mentoring Encourage early exposure to the working world through mandatory internships

13 The State can play a key role in focusing the State s vocational efforts around priority topics Channel secondary school graduates into priority areas Identify priority curricula based on current job demand and shortage in the State Create a statewide strategy Define regulations and skill standards, issue for vocational education Increase transparency and access to job information curriculum guidelines and design apprenticeship programs Disseminate best practices and monitor sectorial skills development plans Map labor demand and supply per industry Aggregate information on salary and career path Provide career support services Improve visibility, data to inform policy, funding Work closely with the private sector Promote sector collaboration Facilitate convening of providers and employers to identify talent requirements, conduct workforce planning, develop curriculum with providers and facilitate placement after graduation

14 Post-secondary institutions can also consider opportunities to increase the pool of STEM graduates Create sector specific curricula Create industryrelevant & practical delivery models Design granular, activity-based courses and degrees based on most important competencies in priority sectors (e.g. cybersecurity and material sciences degrees) Create discrete, skill-based modules that stack up to larger qualifications, but can also be standalone Link classes to industry-recognized skills qualifications & certificates Greatly increase the breath of practical, hands-on learning opportunities through simulations (e.g.,digital) Increase capacity and affordability of vocational training Expand open access institutions Deliver highly standardized curricula using nontraditional channels (i.e. Internet) Attract and keep the best faculty Invest in R&D and commercialization to attract faculty Explore innovative teaching methods Develop positioning and offer attractive benefits packages

15 Example: ShaleNET (Pennsylvania) ShaleNET is a job-placement program funded via more than $15 million from the U.S. Department of Labor that has helped men and women find work in the natural gas industry. Since its inception, ShaleNET has offered subsidized classes that range from CDL truck driving certifications to Roustabout 101 courses that include rig visits and a lesson on how gas gets from the ground to the home. Certificate and two-year degree courses More than 2,000 ShaleNET students have been placed in shale-related jobs.
