Utah’s Training Trends
• USOE estimates 144,000 new students will enter our school system over the next 10 years
• Census data estimates 211,000 current Utah adult workers without a high school diploma
• Our demographics are rapidly changing• Our system must give access to all learners• Increasing need for workers with post-secondary
training; technical skills, flexible, transferable• Research scientists are critical – but so are
machinists
Utah’s Training Trends
• Rigor and Relevance• Emphasis on both 4 year degree and post-secondary
training• Innovation comes from both• STEM (Science, Technology Engineering and Math)
Education is essential to compete• Need for more guidance counselors at the K-12 level
who have knowledge of all post-secondary training opportunities
• K-12 graduation credits for Applied Math and Science - articulation to post-secondary studies
State/Regional Council on Workforce Services
• Partnership between Industry, Higher Education, USOE, USOR, GOED, and DWS
• Identify current and future skills needs to meet Industry demand
• State and Regional Workforce Development strategies

Education’s Challenge
• The high school graduating class of 2021 just entered the public education system
• It’s a 13 year production cycle
• Kids are born prepared to learn
• 3rd graders who can’t read seldom catch up – and represent our future drop outs
Conclusions
• More jobs are requiring higher levels of skill• Jobs requiring less than a 4-year degree are
value added to Utah’s economy• Both advanced degree and post-secondary
training are needed for economic growth/innovation
• More guidance counselors skilled in advising on all occupations are needed
• It should be difficult to drop out of school• Our economy cannot afford drop outs
