"Middle-skill jobs" A CA report
Please see:http://www.nationalskillscoalition.org/assets/reports-/skills2compete_forgottenjobs_ca_2009-10.pdf
This report focus is on CA. but applies to NV as well. I abstracted the "Projected California Demand for 30 Middle-Skill Occupations, 2006-2016" at the end which shows the projected growth of occupations (and annual salary) which WERE being taught at TMCC.
Some 43 percent of all job openings in California between now and 2016 will be in middle-skill jobs.
What is a middle-skill job?
One that requires more than a high school diploma but less than a four-year college degree.
The term middle-skill refers to the level of education required by a particular job.
It should not be confused with the actual competence and capacity of workers and occupations—many middle-skill occupations require highly skilled trade and technical
workers with several years of training and onthe-job experience.
Who provides middle-skill training?
Community colleges, apprenticeship programs, nonprofit community-based training organizations, and private career schools.
Nationally, a 2005 National Association of Manufacturers report found that while 35 percent of
manufacturers anticipated a shortage of scientists and engineers, more than twice as many
respondents anticipated a shortage of skilled production workers, precisely the kind of middle-skill jobs that require more than high school but less than a four-year degree.
