Regional Workforce Plan
1) Create a Collaborative “Talent Transition”
Initiative
Action Arenas
The collapse of the financial activities sector and recession have caused unemployment
to grow in the region. In many cases, well-educated workers have lost their jobs and are
looking for new opportunities to utilize their skill sets.
Rationale Action Items
Convene partners to define key assets under the Talent Transition initiative & assign rolesBuild a multi-faceted response with “no wrong door” entry among partners Engage key employers in an intensified rapid response capability for workers they are laying off Create streamlined tools for laid-off workers to explore career pathways options Offer intensified business start-up assistance, building on existing programs and initiatives Build a social networking structure for skilled laid-off talent that can be used by employers to employ talent on a project basis
Regional Workforce Plan
2) Create a Sustainable
Regional Planning and Action Platform
Action Arenas
With the end of US Department of Labor funding, a properly
designed platform for sustaining regional talent development can
provide a collaborative outlet, building upon the momentum of
WIRED.
Rationale Action Items Engage local elected officials to obtain broad-based buy-in for a regional summit to kick off platform Establish the Talent Research and Action Center (TRAC) to sustain efforts of WIRED and other regional initiatives Develop an “Economic Gardening” initiative focused on ongoing data analysis and a “grow our own” approach Create a multi-WIB alliance to develop a regional template for employer/education engagement and a Work Readiness Certificate endorsed by employers
Regional Workforce Plan
3) Create a Collaborative
Regional “Talent Retention” Network
Action Arenas
The CT-NY Talent for Growth region has over 90,000 students
enrolled in higher education but a declining young professionals
population (25-44) and a growing aging population. This difficulty in retaining regional talent impacts
the sustainability and future growth of the region.
Rationale Action Items
Develop a Regional Internship Program to connect high-quality but fragmented approaches at both the college and high school levels Explore more creative strategies to attract and retain key young professionals, such as subsidized housing, building upon existing efforts Build a “regional young professionals association” model to promote the region’s attractiveness to young talent we want to attract and keep in the region Create special career pathways project for immigrants
Regional Workforce Plan
4) Expand Educational
Capacity in Key Occupational
Areas
Action Arenas
The CT-NY Talent for Growth region has seen a decline in the Financial Services and Business & Professional Services sectors but still has identified gaps in
specific occupational areas (allied health, information
technology) as well as emerging opportunities (green) that
require adapting and creating new training programs.
Rationale Action Items
Determine entities and funding that can be used to meet identified needs out of survey and job posting data Ensure Stimulus Funds for training/employment are aimed directly at existing needs Focus on the strengths of the community college system to meet emerging needsFocus on Allied Health and Information Technology – they continue to have high employment needs even during bad economic times
Regional Workforce Plan
5) Establish a High Visibility College
Access for Everyone (CAFE)
Initiative
Action Arenas
The CT-NY Talent for Growth region has a diverse population of residents with extremes of education levels and income
levels. Promotion of access to programs for all can link new populations to educational
opportunities.
Rationale Action Items
Utilize regional media to kick-off initiative to promote the “Talent Coast” Publicize multiple pathways for higher education and the direct ties to emerging jobs Utilize the power of “green movement” to attract students to higher education and particularly STEM educationConstruct attainable steps for low-skilled adults and youths, blending work and education ultimately leading to post-secondary credentials Re-brand vocation education regionally as “Colleges of Technology” and expand dual-credit offerings with high schools Make initiative centerpiece of “Talent Coast” brand
