• W1857365527 abstract "Manufacturers in United States are struggling to recruit and hire high-skilled workers needed to maintain productivity and to compete globally. While total number employed in manufacturing sector is shrinking, demand for high-skilled workers has increased. Community and technical colleges have traditionally been an important source of high-skilled workers. This article analyzes completion trends in manufacturing-related programs in community and technical colleges in Great Lakes and Plains regions. Data for 10 four-digit program series and 41 six-digit program codes were retrieved from National Center for Educational Statistic Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). Short-term and long-term completions trends for period 1996-2005 were identified for 12 states. Findings of this study, though not encouraging, add to understanding of skills shortage. Background Manufacturers in United States are struggling to recruit and hire high-skilled workers needed to maintain productivity and to compete globally. While total number employed in manufacturing sector is shrinking, demand for high-skilled workers has increased. According to Deitz and Orr (2006), Technology and increased globalization have, on one hand, reduced number of low-skilled jobs and, on other, provided opportunities for high-skilled manufacturing employment to expand (p. 7). The transformation of nature of jobs in manufacturing has thrust manufacturers into midst of a severe shortage of qualified workers. A 2005 survey by National Association of Manufacturers found that the vast majority of American manufacturers are experiencing a serious shortage of qualified employees, which in turn is causing significant impact to business and ability of country as a whole to compete in global (The Manufacturing Institute, 2005, p. 1). Employers have historically relied on community college as a source of candidates for skilled positions. In recent years, critics have blamed secondary and post-secondary education systems for not adequately preparing students for workforce. Critics also hold education systems culpable for directing students away from jobs in manufacturing sector. Although community colleges have been criticized for not meeting demand for high-skilled manufacturing workers, literature is void of data that either supports or rejects these claims. This trend analysis used data mining and knowledge discovery research techniques to provide knowledge of output (completers or graduates) of high-skilled workers from manufacturing programs in community colleges. Data from National Center for Educational Statistics were used to determine longterm and short-term completion trends in manufacturingrelated programs in Great Lakes and Plains Region states. The trend analysis provides historical data regarding role of community colleges in filling need for high-skilled manufacturing workers. This study is limited to only one aspect of information gap: completers (graduates) of credit-based manufacturing related programs. The study did not seek to inform readers of other important aspects of knowledge gap, such as enrollment trends, non-credit training provided, or recruiting and marketing for manufacturing programs. While these are important areas that would inform discussion, they were beyond scope of this study. Workforce Trends in Manufacturing In economy as a whole, manufacturing represents 11% of all employment, yet less than 5% of all establishments. Employment in manufacturing has decreased from 17.2 million jobs in 1996 to 14.2 million jobs in 2005 (Bureau of Labor Statistics). The manufacturing sector share of total workforce has dropped sharply, from 20% of total workforce in 1979 to nearly 11% today (Deitz & Orr, 2006. p.l). Much of loss in total employment can be attributed to increased labor productivity and international trade. …" @default.
