34 Critical Hurdle for Growth Critical shortage of a skilled, certified workforce instilled with a positive work ethic : For Nichols Precision, Arizona and U.S. manufacturers Importance? Why the shortage? 1. State, Federal, Industry and Association leaders agree that the health of the U.S. economy is directly linked to the health of manufacturing. 2. Baby Boomers are retiring NOW and the flow of students to manufacturing careers is minimal. 3. Students, parents, counselors and teachers are NOT AWARE of manufacturing careers. 4. Manufacturing suffers from a NEGATIVE IMAGE based on outdated perceptions. 34

35 What was required for positive change? Local, grassroots, targeted action led by industry in cooperation with education partners for short- and long-term increases in CTE-related careers. Requirements for launch 1. Convey a sense of urgency 2. Identify Involved champions 3. Show early successes 4. Identify potential funding 5. Build on successes 35

36 My personal involvement: Why? Time is of the essence. Involvement increases opportunities for my business. Efforts for one benefit all and visa versa Leadership is expected Ah Ha moments are priceless 36

37 What is AMP? A statewide, industry-led initiative to close the skills gap and develop the nextgeneration workforce in manufacturing. Goals 1. Change perceptions and promote the world-class image of manufacturing to schools, teachers, parents, and elected officials. 2. Encourage Arizona education to utilize nationally recognized, industry validated credentials. 3. Serve as the liaison between manufacturing needs and education articulation. 37

History of the Organization In 2012 determined that many of the State s business sectors were growth-limited due to a lack of trained and available skilled workers.

38 History of the Organization In 2012 determined that many of the State s business sectors were growth-limited due to a lack of trained and available skilled workers. In 2013 Arizona Commerce Authority organized a statewide summit for one of Arizona s most significant economic sectors (Aerospace & Defense) to identify and compare needs from both an industry and educational perspective. Result led to the establishment of a collaborative partnership between industry, education and government to address these skills and resource gaps. In 2014 AMP was established as a 501(c) 3 under the Arizona Chamber Foundation. AMP is now thriving as the voice of the Arizona manufacturing community and has been endorsed nationally by organizations including the National Association of Manufacturers and the Manufacturing Institute. 38

39 AMP s Accomplishments Successfully leading regional and statewide efforts to develop pathways to employment including education, apprenticeship and internship training programs. Membership Total of 112 employers, state industry associations, state educational organizations, and state workforce and economic development organizations Selected by Maricopa Community Colleges to launch and deliver the Manufacturing Institute s Dream It Do It manufacturing awareness campaign to area schools and employers. Obtained grant funding to procure EduFactor, a STEM awareness and teaching plan benefiting 40 high schools throughout the State. For details, see Presented or met with more than 500 companies and education groups. Also participated in multiple school career days and met with educators, students and parents Helped coordinate and secure $250K in grant funding to finance Cox s EdgeFactor and Launchpoint TV shows showcasing available high-tech manufacturing jobs. 39

Need to Change Perceptions Students, parents, legislators and educators do not have a realistic perception and understanding of manufacturing.
