Can you please provide some examples of "Professional Services?"

Some examples include legal services, accountants, and logistics

Thank you!

Of course!

For the lower-paying roles in this spreadsheet, do those folks generally move into the related higher-paying roles?

This is really interesting!

Thank you for your question, Marci!

So are these tables indicating that no one is looking for these jobs, meaning there is no one who can do these jobs?

ok, thanks for the clarification. this is great data!

Thank you Madalynn!

Interesting how different Top Award Gaps are between MSP and Central.

Definitely!

can you show the msp one more time?

👍

What is a High Location Quotient?

Please post your questions in the chat, or unmute to ask live.

Do we know if we have the training programs available to develop people into these in demand occupations?

What piece of the data surprised, inspired, validated, or challenged you?

Validated - Need for more CDL drivers

I am so glad I had the opportunity to hear and know about this trends in our state. THank you!

The high demand for Human Services

Statistics on the gaps between top occupations and award gaps

Happy to see data supporting HSMA as it reflects what we're hearing.

Validated need for more mental health. Little surprised not to see medical lab techs, histo techs, medical lab techs on the list though as I have heard those are all in demand

Hospitality Management

If not enough people are interested enough in specific careers to enroll in certificate or degree programs, then what can be done about that? School counselors in high school armed with the knowledge? Employers need this Awards gap information!

Is this presentation going to be available later for view again? Thanks!

Good point, Jennifer. Just because we build it doesn't mean they'll come. Cost vs. ROI.

@Dan - really grateful for your comment and the employers that have just joined our most recent talent pipeline collaborative! Such a need, with particular need to diversify the mental health occupations!

I've also heard that it takes a very long time for a school system to go from "here's a need, now here's our program," ready to start students.

Can you or anyone speak more about the Talent Pipeline initiative?

@Jennifer - such an important point! We hope this data is useful to inform students, families, educators, and employers as you all touch the students in our state's talent pipeline! Students don't voice interest if they don't know what's available.

High school is too late to wait to inform students about careers. Students are deciding what they are NOT interested in as early as 3rd grade.

Hi Eva, I would recommend connecting with our Executive Director Deb Broberg :)

@Alicia - yes, presentations will be available!

I agree! The early the best!

From your perspective, what are the most important considerations in these data for Career and Technical Education programs?What is one barrier that you can help remove for BIPOC students?

@Eva - happy to talk following this session but for the benefit of all, here is a bit more about the national Talent Pipeline Management (TPM) movement and how RTT is serving as a Host Org in our state! http://www.realtimetalent.org/resources-2/talentpipeline-2/

Realistic job previews for program development and different ways of teaching to accommodate different learning styles.

Thank you, Deb!

What additional information will you seek out next?

I think employers need to invest in training program development!

Thank you all for joining us today and for your great questions!

English learners need a lot a lot of support when learning a skill because they don't understand well and it is hard to express their ideas clearly. But, they work ethics is perfect and worth to take in consideration

Great point Alicia!

Thanks Erin! What a great presentation:)
