About
Objective: The 21st Century Workforce Profile project was conceived as a way to define future workforce skills and to facilitate effective planning by workforce training providers. It will create advanced technology job profiles, as well as a Skills Matrix for technological fields. The project will develop strategies to identify training and education gaps and share best practices regionally and across the California Innovation Corridor. In so doing, it will collaborate with two other Workforce Innovation in Regional Economic Development (WIRED) projects: 1.1 - Economic Development Innovation Toolkit, and 3.14 - Learning Collaboratory. Desired Outcomes:
- Develop 21st Century job profiles in the Bio/Pharma, Bio/Info/Nano, and Biomedical Health fields.
- Define the workforce skills issues within these industries, based on their projected futures.
