The primary aim of education is not to enable
students to do well in school, but to help them
do well in the lives they lead outside

A TEXAS Education WORKFORCE SOLUTION
45
A NEW PLAYING FIELD

• Labor shortages in many industries
• Changing global economy
• Changing workforce skills and needs
• Students are unprepared for current work
  environments
• Flawed pipeline - students falling through the
  cracks
• Under-served students hold great potential
• Information available but in too many places -
  difficult to find

46
CHANGING DEMANDS FOR WORKERS

• Over the next ten years, 26 of the top 30 fastest
  growing jobs will require some post-secondary
  education or training...
• The demand for skilled workers is outpacing
  supply, resulting in attractive, high-paying jobs
  going unfilled.

Labor for Education and Training

modern manufacturing.

Connecting Education with the Texas Economy

• Currently there are good jobs in Texas for those
  who have the right preparation, and there will be
  more as the Boomers retire.

• State economic development initiatives will
  require even more highly educated, skilled
  workers at all levels.

• If we dont prepare them appropriately, young
  Texans will end up providing services to people
  who come from outside to take the good jobs.

• Working together, business people and educators
  must establish real career pathways through which
  students can prepare for work and further
  education.

• We must connect our people to good jobs through
  education.
