OWT Strategic Framework
• Identify businesses most urgent job needs
• Align the skills needs of employers with the training offerings of the education system
• Reform Ohio’s workforce delivery system
• http://www.workforce.ohio.reform
3.2 million high school students work some kind of job - summer, part-time or full-time.
This is not the majority: 71 percent of high school students do not work.
Key to engagement = industry partnerships
High School Students
Apprenticeships• Anyone interested in getting a foot in the
door of a skilled craft or trade.• A structured, formal way to gain skills on the
job.• Always paid.• Combines on-the-job training with
classroom instruction.• Registered apprenticeships are for aged 16
and over.
Change
Old Perception
• Dirty• Hard Work• Long Hours• Low Pay
New Reality
• Cleaner/Safer• More efficient/Less
Hours• Technology• Higher Pay
Industry Partnerships• Industry can partner with Secondary Career
Technical Programs (advisory boards, pre-apprenticeships programs, project-based learning).
• Work Based Learning offers the hands-on, project-based opportunities that create career pathways.
• We will cover 4 success models that achieve these results.
Advisory Committees
• All Career-Technical programs are required to have an active Industry Advisory Committee
• Guidelines to creating or enhancing an industry-driven advisory committee:
