Fiduciary report
WIN’s spending is on pace for 2014. WIN’s fiscal year goes from January 1-December 31. WIN has received EDA funding for the IMCP initiative. Lisa presented 2 draft budgets for the upcoming year (2015). One includes bring in a full-time person (Junior Analyst) vs. bringing on Interns only. NEI will only be able to provide $100,000 per year in the next grant cycle. WIN has contracted a new web developer to begin building capacity for sponsorship on the WIN website.
Discussion occurred around prioritizing what WIN focus is moving forward. Future strategic planning must take place to align WIN’s goals should with funding. Strategic planning to take place at the February Board meeting.
• WIN revenue strengths: data and research, career pathways/awareness work • WIN revenue weaknesses: cluster strategies
*Action items:
• WIN Board is requesting to add start and end dates to each funding stream. • Follow up with Sarah Sebaly/Charlie Lafayette on IGNITE funding
Tom Crampton motioned to approve the fiduciary report. Michelle Mueller seconded. All in favor. Fiduciary report approved.

See presentation.
Policy committee
Career readiness and awareness continues to be the priority for the Policy committee. WIN is now a partner with the Center for Michigan.
Data access quality: Lisa attended the Pew Charitable Trust meeting in November to develop national policy on data sharing. ccInspire: This is a Career Cruising add-on tool that the students use in 8th grade to help them connect with employers. The team needs to come up with a brand for the Michigan program. A project implementation team, employer engagement team, and education engagement team will be used in this process to work on sponsorship, organization and management, and usage/implementation in schools. WIN has negotiated the cost for the ccInspire tool (approx. 50% discount). This is a great tool to build relationships between the employer and schools. It could also be a potential component of regional prosperity initiative.
Communications committee
WIN did an RFP and contracted a new web developer (Oceanview).
Crain’s has decided to keep the same contract amount for the upcoming year.
Communication will go out to each of the Board members reminding them to submit stories. Google Alerts have been set up for each of the organizations to pull in stories for newsletters.
Data committee
Data dashboard is in draft mode. Quarterly reports are available on the website, and will be available on the dashboard once it’s complete. January is the deadline for the dashboard to be launched. Training will be available on how to use the site.
Employer Strategies committee
Co-chairs have concluded that regular meetings are no longer needed. Committee is valuable and will meet based on needs of WIN. Discussion is on what the committee role is once a sector is up and running, and when to retire a specific sector. Suggestion is to meet quarterly as needed.

WIN’s mission and goals are summarized in the below infographic:
WIN was launched in May 2011, with funding from the New Economy Initiative. WIN specializes in fostering collaboration among talent partners, including workforce development, community colleges, four-year
1
postsecondary institutions, K-12 schools, economic development organizations, government, community based organizations, employers, and others. WIN manages data-driven cluster strategies in the areas of advanced manufacturing, information technology, health care, and retail/hospitality, and works with over 100 major employers and dozens of talent partners through its cluster initiatives. Together, WIN’s experience in data-driven solutions, partner engagement and collaboration, and expertise in consulting, ensure that talent partners and their supporters have the tools needed to support Michigan’s growing economy.
WIN has unique expertise related to talent, relevant federal and state programming, and the economics of education and workforce. Since its inception, WIN has leveraged this expertise to achieve the following:
WIN has become recognized as a local and national leader in integrating real-time job-posting analysis with traditional labor market intelligence. This helps partners better understand regional workforce and talent trends, identify and convene sector strategies, and provide intelligence to enhance and establish key talent programs and initiatives. As a nod to this expertise, WIN: o provides quarterly labor market reports to all 9 of its original counties, plus three more counties in the governor’s region 9 prosperity area (Hillsdale, Jackson and Lenawee) and soon to be four more in region 6 (Huron, Lapeer, Sanilac, and Tuscola). o received a $100,000 grant from the J.P. Morgan Chase Bank Foundation to further the field of real-time data analysis, understanding the relationship between online job postings and actual employment/hiring activity by different industries. o has been identified and contracted as the lead data partner for the five-state initiative called Lightweight Innovations For Tomorrow (LIFT, formerly Advanced Lightweight Metals Manufacturing Innovation Initiative, ALMMII). LIFT is a $140 million innovation strategy funded with $70 million in U.S. Department of Defense funds. o participated as one of two community representatives in a forum of 30 national labor market leaders convened by the Pew Charitable Trust. Other attendees included the head of U.S. Census Bureau, the head of unemployment insurance for the U.S. Department of Labor, a former economic advisor to President Obama, several prominent academic leaders, several state labor market leaders, and others. o was recruited by the U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration to present in a national webinar on real-time data and to speak at a national workforce association session on the same topic. o presented on its experience and practices using real-time data at a national workshop of roughly two-dozen communities hosted by the U.S. Department of Defense Office of Economic Adjustment. o has been identified as a preferred contractor by Economic Modeling Specialists Inc. (EMSI), a leading labor market information provider.
WIN has emerged as a trusted employer convener and liaison with talent and economic development partners. For example: o As the lead convener and facilitator for the Michigan Academy for Green Mobility Alliance (MAGMA), led by several of the region’s automotive OEMs, WIN is working with employers, colleges, and universities to identify talent needs, including career awareness and curriculum development, related to automotive efficiency and safety. o WIN served as the first non-employer partner in Experience IT, a partnership that includes Quicken Loans, GalaxE Solutions, Titlesource, Fathead, Marketing Associates, Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Michigan, and DTE Energy. The partners work to grow Detroit’s information technology workforce by providing employer-driven training and experience, followed by the opportunity for employment. WIN actively encouraged engagement of Detroit Employment
2
Solutions Corporation, which played an instrumental role in helping to revamp and fund the program, resulting in a placement rate of 80%+ for a diverse population of graduates. The program is moving into its fourth year. WIN also convenes a regional IT council called Opportunity Detroit Tech, which shares exemplary practices and opportunities for the region’s talent system to engage directly with hiring firms. o WIN convenes eight health system HR executives, working with them to identify key talent trends and opportunities to measure and track the region’s health care workforce supply. A major project has been the conceptual development of a longitudinal study, with data populated by the health systems themselves, to track ongoing needs in 12 nursing specialty areas and 14 other critical occupations. o In the governor’s Prosperity Region 9 (Hillsdale, Jackson, Lenawee, Livingston, Monroe, Washtenaw), WIN was contracted to convene two employer cluster groups (health care and advanced manufacturing) and to support one more (information technology). These meetings contributed to a five-year plan focused on talent and transportation in the region.
WIN has supported regional transformation strategies that integrate talent, economic development and entrepreneurship. Efforts have resulted in direct support to firms and over $84 million in additional federal investment in the community: o WIN is the lead staff for Advance Michigan, a 13-county effort recently designated by the White House as one of 12 national Investing in Manufacturing Communities Partnership (IMCP) areas. Under the designation, partners receive special consideration for projects that support regional manufacturing competitiveness. Projects may relate to talent, transportation, infrastructure development, innovation/research & development, export assistance/trade, and other areas. So far, in less than one year, the designation has supported funding for $12 million in projects, including the M-1 rail project ($10 million in TIGER funds) and a cybersecurity training initiative ($2+ million trade adjustment assistance grant), both in Detroit. o WIN directly participated in providing data for and drafting the workforce and talent section of the federal National Network for Manufacturing Innovation proposal awarded to a partnership that includes the University of Michigan, Edison Welding Institute, Ohio State University, and numerous federal partners. The project, now known as LIFT, was initially launched as ALMMII, referenced above. As noted, the initiative represents a total of $140 million in total investment, including $70 million in federal defense funds over five years. Today WIN is the lead workforce data partner for the effort and a leader in regional talent asset mapping. o As the lead partner on the InnoState initiative, WIN is working with partners to deliver training and technical assistance to over 60 firms with unique expertise in new product development, including rapid-prototyping, design and engineering, product testing, etc. Almost 130 individuals will have received training by grant’s end. InnoState is funded through $2+ million in grants from the U.S Economic Development Administration, Employment and Training Administration, Small Business Administration, Department of Energy, and Michigan Economic Development Corporation. The bulk of funds go towards direct service delivery to firms and training to incumbent and dislocated workers.
WIN has broadened talent-related communication and awareness throughout the region, reaching tens of thousands of youth and millions of employers and jobseekers. o WIN is host to the governor’s Region 10 (Wayne, Oakland, Macomb) Career Jump Start liaison. This individual works closely with area intermediate school districts and regional education service agencies to promote awareness of high-demand careers among parents, educators, youth and others. The liaison also shares important information about how to participate in apprenticeship and other programs that help youth connect with these careers. In 2014, the 3
Region 10 Career Liaison reached over 64,700 youth, 60,000 virtually, and 4,700 in-person. The liaison participated in over 190 partner engagement meetings and participated in dozens of high school college and career seminars. o Through a media partnership with Crain’s Communication, WIN has supported the delivery of 2.2 million e-mails to regional workers and employers, all related to talent trends, job- demand, job creation and more. The partnership supports e-mails to an audience of 55,000/week, with 12,000 opening those messages (a success rate of 22%). Over 620,000 readers opened WIN –sponsored content in 2014. o WIN produces a regular blog called Working Smarter, issued through Crain’s Communication. The blog reaches between 500-1,000 readers every week it is issued. o WIN distributed a monthly newsletter to over 2,000 talent partners, including academia, workforce development, government, and others. Over 40% open the newsletter each month (compared to an industry average closer to 20%). o WIN had over 40 earned media opportunities last year, with reach to the entire Southeast Michigan population. WIN is providing thought leadership in and solutions around key policy areas related to college and career readiness and awareness, including career pathways, policy, and employer engagement with youth in schools. o In 2014 WIN released its first formal policy brief, focused on career awareness and readiness among youth. The paper identified substantial gaps between employer talent demand and credentialing among the region’s most in-demand occupations (advanced manufacturing, health care, and information technology).
It also identified that Michigan’s student-to-counselor ratio is 700:1. With an emphasis on course scheduling, test administration, and overall student well-being, it is nearly impossible for today’s counselors to adequately inform young people about the region’s most in-demand careers and how they can prepare through college and/or work experience, for those opportunities.
WIN’s research also found that, while employers do care about educational attainment, they also care deeply that new employees have practical work experience. Most—in fact, nearly 60%—indicate that, even graduates from college, are NOT ready for the world of work.
The report further found that investing in career awareness for middle schoolers, high 4
schoolers, and young college students could support retention of young people and future workers projected to leave the state. Current projections indicate that the state could lose nearly 250,000 residents between the ages of 10 and 30 by 2023. Helping students get into high-wage, high-demand careers could help retain at least 75,000 additional workers within the next decade. Based on employer demand projections, not only will employment increase, but the total income of Michigan families could grow by over $4 billion dollars. The additional income translates into roughly $160 million in additional income tax revenue and over $200 million in additional sales tax revenue for the state.
o With this data in hand, WIN began actively engaging career and technical education leaders from multiple Southeast Michigan communities, exploring challenges and solutions to helping young people become more aware of high-demand careers and gain exposure to career-related experiences. WIN launched a process to develop policy related recommendations and is undertaking a new initiative, MI Bright Future (see attached), which could reach 200,000 Southeast Michigan youth, engaging them in more rigorous career readiness and growing deeper relationships with employers. A similar program launched in North Carolina resulted in improved student test scores, dropout prevention, and other important outcomes. o WIN undertook a rigorous analysis of career pathways in Detroit, particularly focused on how lower-income, lower-skilled individuals navigate careers when starting retail & hospitality jobs. WIN looked at career pathways within and out of these fields to explore opportunities for advancement and found that many workers simply get stuck in these jobs. The team learned valuable methodologies using real resume data to look at empirical career pathways that people take, comparing them to possible pathways. WIN is using this information to inform numerous conversations around data usage and career exploration among many vulnerable populations.
In addition to the above accomplishments, WIN has flourished and grown as an organization. WIN was launched through a single-source investment, the New Economy Initiative. In WIN’s very first year, funding expanded to include a suite of four federal grants, the InnoState initiative. By year three, WIN was supported by at least 15 different funding sources including board membership investments and partnerships with higher education institutions (University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute and LIFT) and business groups (Business Leaders for Michigan). The size of the team and operating budget have doubled, and the return on the original NEI investment has been returned multifold through additional investment in the region.
What’s next for WIN The year 2015 marks the beginning of a new opportunity for Southeast Michigan talent. WIN will remain focused on providing critical data to its board and partners (including LIFT, the governor’s prosperity regions, economic developers, site selectors, K-12, and others) and will engage more broadly in consulting projects that help partners use data to shape and inform critical investment in people and programs. WIN also will continue to work with employers to understand the talent they need for success and work closely with the region’s education and training programs to explore how to best meet those needs.
An ongoing focus in the next year will remain integrating talent strategies with economic and innovation strategies. WIN intends to continue playing an important role leveraging the IMCP/Advance Michigan designation to draw additional federal investments to Southeast Michigan. The Advance Michigan partners are seeking investment to help drive innovation strategies (like automation, cybersecurity, product connectivity, and lightweighting) and ensure that talent-development efforts are sufficiently aligned around 5
them. This includes in traditionally-underserved communities like Detroit, where WIN has been working with employer partners to grow a talent pipeline of talent new to information technology (Experience IT).
WIN’s focus with Advance Michigan is to engage points of contact in almost a dozen federal institutions to help them understand regional investment priorities and development strategy. The ultimate goal is to bring in additional funding resources that support the region’s manufacturing strategies related to manufacturing efficient and safe automotive products. This incorporates lightweighting, alternative fuels/propulsion technologies, connectivity, design and other competencies that multiple industries can leverage for future growth (e.g., medical, aerospace, etc.).
WIN also is working with partners to identify priorities that may move forward without federal support, for example, through philanthropic, corporate, or other investment. One example is the MI Bright Future initiative, which aims to engage young people in experiences relevant to the region’s future talent needs, including information technology, advanced manufacturing, and health care. In this case, WIN is partnering with school districts, Michigan Works! Agencies, community colleges, foundations, and corporate partners to help students gain experience and exposure to high-demand careers. With this awareness, there is greater likelihood that students will opt to study in and otherwise pursue work in these careers. The approach also is relevant for college students and adults.
Advance Michigan Framework
WIN will continue to engage employers in to inform its work and identify opportunities for its board and other partners to provide valuable talent and other solutions. WIN will continue to staff MAGMA and the Southeast
6
Michigan Health Systems HR Executives Council, strongly support Experience IT, and seek partners and strategies to ensure the future success of Opportunity Detroit Tech.
Further, WIN will continue its strong focus on raising general awareness and promoting discussion and engagement around talent in the region. This includes a steady media presence, sharing information about high-demand careers and future workforce trends, a laser focus on helping young people and their influencers understand how they can most successfully engage with the job market, and helping policymakers understand barriers that impede and promote successful talent-development strategies.

David Palmer joined the team in June 2014 and has worked with the Governing Board to identify areas of continuing need and interest. Without funding streams from Federal and State agencies, the alliance has been a bit adrift. New members on the board are bringing new energy to the group. WIN developed a “return on investment” presentation for the October 2014 board meeting, which served as a useful reminder of the value that members have gained from being a part of the alliance. University of Michigan Transportation Institute (UMTRI) engaged with WIN staff to provide WIN with seed funding ($13k) to kick-start MAGMA cluster research last year. We are finalizing agreements and will begin the project in mid- late February. WIN has hired two new staff (one intern and another part-time staff member) to assist with advance manufacturing-related work including this project. The WIN research team created the first draft of a series of talent briefs related to MAGMA. The MAGMA board decided it is time to revamp the six focus areas outlined on its website and one-pager that would influence these research briefs.
3. LIFT (formerly ALMMII) Lightweight Innovations for Tomorrow: Ribbon-cutting and re-brand announced on January 15th, the WIN board invited to this event and many attended. Thank you! WIN created a one-pager on the lightweighting workforce for the ribbon cutting event. This is included in your packet. WIN has released the third bi-monthly data update (November/December 2014) this week for each of the 5-states including Michigan. The Michigan report is included in your board packet.
4. Region 9 Prosperity Initiative: A manufacturing employer event was held Dec. 17 to gather input toward a 5-year prosperity strategic plan. The employer data was compiled and reported back to the attendees and the R9 Adv. Mfg. Talent Task Group. During a recent planning meeting the Task Group discussed potential ways forward for the manufacturers in Region 9. The Task Group decided to have the WIN team narrow down the employers’ top 3 areas of focus from the strategic planning meeting in December and brain storm several action items to present to the manufacturers at the next meeting.
Next Steps: 1. InnoState AMJIAC Grant: a. EDA review of third and fourth quarter financial disbursement request. b. Budget modification proposal to shift unused partner funds into active categories. Some partner job title and wage changes required as part of the budget modification proposal. c. Complete all pending company and college training contracts. d. Continuously monitor training participant records to ensure all eligible persons are exited from training programs 90 days after completion of training programs. Load the exit data into the DOL ETA HUB system. e. Recruit and train the final cohort of 12-15 dislocated workers and seek to get them employed. 2. MAGMA: a. The next major projects for MAGMA will be to continue to demonstrate return on investment potential. This includes: (1) reassessing and publishing the aligned training programs for the employers, (2) recruiting three new industry members to the governing board, (3) participating in organized outreach to employers and the public, (4) identifying possible funding streams for future training [e.g.: STTF, Apprenticeships, WIOA, etc.], (5) continuing relevant and interesting programming for industry advisory meetings. WIN also needs to file a progress report with WDA per our MOU with the state. b. Proposed MAGMA-related cluster research in 1Q15, ending 4Q15.

Policy committee update Career Readiness and Awareness: Three career readiness and awareness policy town hall meetings have been conducted, with Wayne RESA, Macomb and Oakland CTE representatives, and MODAC Deans. A menu of career readiness and awareness policy options are under development and will evolve as policy town hall meetings are held. The Center For Michigan (CFM) held a number of Community Conversations related to career preparedness, college navigation and affordability and upward mobility. WIN maintains a close connection with CFM and an informal partnership has developed, with CFM accepting the responsibility of conversing with the general public about career readiness and awareness while WIN will target subject matter experts. CFM and WIN will touch base on a regular basis to share information. Future meetings are scheduled or in the scheduling phases with statewide thought leaders (foundations), career services from MWA’s and community colleges, a county RESA, and CTE instructors. National Data Conversation: Late last year, Lisa Katz participated in a Pew Charitable Trust national data round table to discuss data sharing from states to enhance UI wage records. There is great diversity in the way states interpret federal regulations. Michigan has one of the most stringent interpretations. Several meetings have been scheduled to meet with Jason Palmer, the new state LMI director, but have been cancelled. Efforts are still underway to arrange this meeting. Next steps: Continue to hold policy town hall meetings with subject matter expert groups. Prepare and vet action options. Develop strategy to vet documents and distribute and engage legislators regarding final recommendations. WIN will continue to engage national and state data policy stakeholders to elevate discussions regarding workforce and wage data access challenges.

Health Care Cluster Strategy Objective: To investigate workforce demand and provide needed workforce solutions for the health care industry of Southeast Michigan through regular convening of the eight major health systems. Value Proposition: WIN convenes HR executives of the seven major health systems, providing a connection to workforce information, input and verification. One work group has completed work for ICD-10 training under this council. A second work group is currently active, addressing a regional health care workforce database. Partners Involved: Beaumont Health (which now includes Oakwood Health system), Detroit Medical Center, Henry Ford Health System, McLaren Health, St. Johns Hospital, Trinity CHE Health, University of Michigan Health System Activity: WIN Health Care Talent Partners meet on a regular basis to discuss the potential for similar ICD-10 training curriculum and to discuss the value of the workforce database. A health care workforce trends event is also in the planning process and tentatively scheduled for October. While all WIN board institutions have a representative invited to healthcare talent meetings, not all are active. Recent Major Milestones: 1. Health systems update: Litigation between Detroit Medical Center and McLaren, Recent acquisition of St. Johns Providence by Ascension, Trinity Health CHE is now Trinity Health 2. Held a Health Care HR Executives Council meeting January 22, 2015. Topics included the Health Care workforce database and potential funding sources, apprenticeship programs, nurse compact licensure, and topics for future health care talent partner meetings. WIN will be exploring the possibility of moving this to a statewide level or involving other health systems to ensure that there are enough stakeholders participating.
3. Initial concept paper for “Southeast Michigan Longitudinal Health Care Talent Research” sent to Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Foundation. Feedback expected soon. 4. Contact with Robert Wood Johnson Foundation established that they do not fund pilot projects and focus more on national policy efforts. This will not be a good source of funding for the workforce database project. 5. Identified potential funding sources through the National Council of State Boards of Nursing and HRSA Rural Recruitment and Retention Analysis Cooperative agreement. 6. Health care and workforce policy intern, Ellise Smith, started working. 7. Convened the Greater Ann Arbor Health Leaders Council. This group developed a plan of action with three main priorities for future work. Waiting for approval of Reg 9 RPI plan by state. Next Steps: 1. Pursue funding for the regional health care workforce database including several identified grant opportunities. 2. Determine healthcare strategy to engage employers outside of the health systems. 3. Convene the Health Care Talent Partners to discuss apprenticeships, the workforce database, nurse compact licensure, and engaging other health employers.

Career and Business Services Learning Networks Project Overview: The Business and Career Services Learning Networks bring together front-line staff of Southeast Michigan community colleges and Michigan Works! agencies who have responsibilities for working with area employers to establish talent needs (business services) and who provide resources to jobseekers to help maximize their ability to acquire a position (Career Services). Next Steps: 2015 planned meeting list is currently under development but includes events pertaining to the Eureka survey and occupational clusters.
Data Users Learning Network Overview: Data Users Group Learning Network: Within recent years, the community colleges and Michigan Works! agencies in Southeast Michigan have collaborated to acquire new labor market data and technology. These new tools provide information to better align training with employer demand. To maximize use of these tools, WIN has created a Data User’s Group Learning Network to explore and expand the use of real time data among the WIN board institutions. This group meets on a quarterly basis and includes individuals from southeast Michigan community colleges and Michigan Works! Agencies with responsibilities for analyzing labor market data (i.e. institutional researchers and Michigan Works! agency burning glass users). Update: A data users learning network meeting was held January 29, 2015. Topics included data dashboard testing and input, the new Burning Glass platform, quarterly reports and the 2014 workforce report. Next Steps: A future meeting is planned for March 2015. Future topics include eureka survey results and hiring to postings analysis.

Research Agenda: February 2015 Update
*Major updates are highlighted in yellow
1. Quarterly workforce reports a. Goal: Ongoing analysis of real-time and localized labor market data. b. Partners: WIN uses Burning Glass and EMSI data for analysis c. Update: Ongoing quarterly. Reports have undergone several updates this year and will continue to evolve to meet the needs of WIN’s board and partners. Employment was added in quarter three as an additional data point. WIN will be adding location quotients for each cluster in the Q1 2015 reports. LQ additions were delayed due to a data update by Burning Glass and the WIN team needed to re-analyze posting data going back to 2011. A new data note will be included in the Q4 2014 reports about the Burning Glass update. All data was updated so numbers are not comparable to prior reports. d. Alignment with WIN goals and Benefit to WIN partners: Aligns with WIN data accessibility goal. e. Resources Needed and estimated timeline: Feedback required from partners to continue to update reports to fit the needs of WIN partners and the board.
2. Data dashboard a. Goal: A public dashboard of economic indicators focused on talent related issues for each local area and the region as a whole. b. Partners: WIN, appropriate committees, data users group, community-based organizations, foundations, and web designers. c. Update: The dashboard is set for release in early March. The timeline keeps shifting because building a website and tool from the ground up presents lots of obstacles. So our timing estimates keep shifting. WIN’s team produced a final report to Kresge at the end of November and will provide an update once the dashboard is released. Once launched, the board will be asked to review the site with the help of the Data Committee. The Data Users Group was engaged at their meeting on January 29th to outline typos, bugs, and other issues with the site (mostly aesthetic). The Data Users Group also provided their “wish-lists” for data to add in the next dashboard iteration. Their feedback will assist the web developers with making changes prior to launch. Once all reviews occur and the site is ready for the public, WIN will hold training sessions for partners on how to use site. There will also be a public launch party at our web designer’s office in Birmingham for the WIN board, press, and other partners. d. Alignment with WIN goals and Benefit to WIN partners: Aligns with WIN’s data accessibility goal. WIN partners will have better and easy access to multiple data sources in one location. e. Resources Needed and estimated timeline: As we move closer to launch, this project takes roughly 30% of the Research Director’s time and will take roughly 30% of the Junior Analyst’s time and 50% of an intern’s time.
3. LIFT-formerly ALMMII a. Goal: Provide timely data reports and other materials to the LIFT partners (includes the WIN board) across the five-state partner region. WIN is also responsible for performing a competency-gap analysis and assisting with an asset map for the region. The data reports and other materials will inform lightweighting-related training needs and assist with recruiting new workers in related fields. The competency-gap analysis will ensure alignment between employers and training providers. The asset map will be a tool for all partners and employers to understand where funding flows, programs, and training needs overlap and where there are gaps. WIN will also convene the data & research committee within the Workforce and Education Working Group. b. Partners: WIN, LIFT (UofM, OSU, EWI), LMI offices in five partner states. c. Update: WIN has already produced three bi-monthly reports and assisted with convening groups for the LIFT leadership. See the Advanced Manufacturing update for more information. WIN is highlighted on the LIFT website’s workforce page here: http://lift.technology/ d. Alignment with WIN goals and Benefit to WIN partners: Aligns with WIN’s sustainability goal and data accessibility goals. e. Resources Needed and estimated timeline: WIN has been awarded over $190,000 to assist with these efforts. $185,000 initially and an additional $7,000 recently. Roughly $65,000 of this will go to sub-contractors for design, asset mapping web work, and PR. This project requires roughly 10% of the Research Director’s time, 15% of the Junior Analyst’s time, and 15% of an intern’s time.
4. State funds and programs focused on career: asset map for Business Leaders for Michigan a. Goal: To map all state resources (budget and programs) focused on helping individuals in Michigan move toward a career. b. Partners: Business Leaders for Michigan, Oceanvue, Research to Practice consultants, Citizens Research Council c. Update: Business Leaders for Michigan (BLM) engaged WIN in fall 2014 about this project. With a budget of $37,000 the WIN team with a small amount of subcontracting work from Oceanvue, R2P consultants, and CRC will map a Michigander’s life-cycle (with nuances added for Vets, those returning from prison, etc.) and identify all state programs and resources focused on career/education at each milestone. d. Alignment with WIN goals and Benefit to WIN partners: Project aligns with WIN’s sustainability, data sharing, and policy goals. e. Resources Needed and estimated timeline: This project will be completed by mid-late April 2015. It will take roughly 30% of the Junior Analyst’s time and 10% of the Research Director’s time to complete. Additional help from other WIN staff is required.
5. Research brief on middle skills jobs (planned for winter 2015) a. Goal: To create a Southeast Michigan focused middle skills occupational analysis and brief report. Will help inform WIN board institutions of coming jobs that will be trending in the region AND high paying in the coming years. b. Partners: WIN Board, EMSI, Burning Glass c. Update: WIN released a blog this week with some preliminary numbers of middle skill jobs. There will be two follow-up blogs that dig deeper into the data along with a short report and press release, likely in mid-March. d. Alignment with WIN goals and Benefit to WIN partners: Project aligns with WIN’s goal of data sharing and availability of up-to-date labor market needs. e. Resources Needed and estimated timeline: This project will be “on-the-side” for the research team. The Research Director will produce the additional blogs within in the next 3 weeks and the final report will be ready by early March.
6. Project work for CSW/JPMorgan Chase a. Goal: Provide posting trends data and information on job seekers for the JPMorgan Chase New Skills at Work project. b. Partners: CSW c. Update: CSW has contracted WIN to purchase data and provide analysis on the Detroit labor market for the JPMorgan Chase project. This is a fast turn-around project for the WIN staff will be concluded before the end of February. d. Alignment with WIN goals and Benefit to WIN partners: Aligns with WIN sustainability goals and data accessibility goals. e. Resources Needed and estimated timeline: WIN Research Director will spend roughly 50% of her time on this for the final week of January and 1st week of February. Roughly 15% of her time will be spent after that along with 15% of the Junior Analyst’s time. This project has allowed WIN to purchase several additional data products for extended use and will has brought in about $7,000 for the WIN general fund.
7. MAGMA/UMTRI/ATLAS- creating green mobility occupation cluster for MAGMA analysis/planning/research a. Goal: To define a green mobility cluster for MAGMA and better understand the labor market, needs, etc. related to this group of workers. b. Partners: UMTRI-ATLAS (UofM), MAGMA c. Update: WIN was recently awarded a small amount of funding from the University of Michigan Transportation Institute (UMTRI) to help define the green mobility cluster and begin research on workforce and skills needs. (see Adv. Manufacturing update). Total current budget $13,000. d. Alignment with WIN goals and Benefit to WIN partners: Project aligns with labor market information goals and WIN sustainability goals. e. Resources Needed and estimated timeline: WIN has hired an intern to assist with this project. It will be mainly driven by the Junior Analyst and the Research Director. Estimated completion of phase I is June 2015.
8. Labor Market/Labor Shed One-Pagers & Cluster briefing documents a. Goal: To provide clear definitions and informational materials to the WIN board and job seekers about the WIN occupation clusters. b. Partners: WIN Board, Oceanvue c. Update: WIN created a retail & hospitality brief for the Kellogg project and is starting the other WIN clusters. Each document will have WIN branding but different color-schemes so that they are differentiable. WIN is also in the process of updating the labor market and labor shed documents for each county and RPI region. d. Alignment with WIN goals and Benefit to WIN partners: Project aligns with data accessibility goals. e. Resources Needed and estimated timeline: Ongoing project, no hard deadlines set.
9. HI-PO analysis: Real-time data and employment (Hiring to Posting, Hi-Po) a. Goal: Understand, for various industry clusters and sectors, what the conversion rate is for postings to actual employment. b. Partners: Seeking academic partners, researchers, and economists to assist with analysis (i.e. Fulton and Grimes, Upjohn, Georgetown University, EMSI, C2er, etc.) c. Update: Project to-date must be re-vamped to include updated data from Burning Glass. Potential partnership with graduate students in public policy though the Committee for Economic Development. d. Alignment with WIN goals and Benefit to WIN partners: Project aligns directly with WIN’s #1 goal of providing data to partners. This analysis would allow WIN to make more accurate and timely projections about occupations than currently available dated projection data. e. Resources Needed and estimated timeline: This project was awarded a $100,000 grant by J.P. Morgan Chase’s New Skills at Work initiative. WIN’s research director spends about 15% of her time on this project, it will grow to 30% in coming months.
10. Data users group a. Goal: Increase the use of new data tools (including real-time data) within WIN board organizations through building analysis skills and sharing best practices in a regional learning network setting. b. Partners: WIN board organizations, specifically those that analyze labor market data and trends. c. Update: Ongoing quarterly. Moving toward a model where part of each meeting is focused on discussion and another part is focused on training. For example, learning how to calculate a new metric. Upcoming workshops will include reviewing the WIN dashboard online data tool and methods for sharing information among WIN board organizations. d. Alignment with WIN goals and Benefit to WIN partners: Aligns with WIN goal of better connecting the talent system and making data accessible. e. Resources Needed and estimated timeline: NA
11. Eureka survey in preparation for conference a. Goal: Survey employers, futurists, think tanks, etc. in the region about emerging and disrupting technologies or collaborations that will be “game-changing” for the region, state, and/or global economy – both in the creation and elimination of jobs. This could include enhanced battery technology or connected vehicles, or in the areas of healthcare, IT, or finance. b. Partners: WIN, along with economic developers, chambers, and Crains Communication. c. Update: The Eureka survey is complete! The data must now be analyzed. The preliminary results were shared in late June at the Michigan Career Educator and Employer Alliance Annual Conference. Once the data is analyzed the research team will put together a public report and plan a release event. d. Alignment with WIN goals and Benefit to WIN partners: Aligns with WIN data goal. Data and understanding on technology changes and how that will affect a company’s workforce. Also aligns with WIN’s goal of helping partners become more employer driven as the survey asks direct questions of employers about their expectations. e. Resources Needed and estimated timeline: Project is underway. WIN’s research director will spend roughly 30% of her time displacing other projects for a short time period. WIN’s intern will spend 15% of her time on this project once the survey is completed.
12. Assessing the economic and fiscal benefits of the talent system (formerly ROI) a. Goal: Put a dollar figure and explain the qualitative impact of the investments in the talent system, and the economic returns. b. Partners: WIN will work with the Ross Community Consulting Club to frame the project and start assessing investments made into the talent system. WIN could potentially work with a local economist (Fulton and Grimes) or EMSI for a full assessment of economic returns. WIN will work with the community colleges and Christine Quinn to understand methodologies used in the past. c. Update: WIN’s Research Director has worked with SEMWAC to organize a phased approach to the analysis. This approach includes: i. Qualitative analysis and reports on the partnerships that exist between MWAs, CCs, and other partners across the state ii. Work with MWAs and CCs to create common data definitions for data to be used in the subsequent phases iii. Create a performance index for each MWA dashboard, ideally the same definition for entire WIN region iv. Analyze the economic and fiscal benefits in a full-scale report. d. Alignment with WIN goals and Benefit to WIN partners: MWAs and the talent system in general are often overlooked for much of the positive work they perform. Frequently, only the variables and data collected because of statute is shared. This report aims to share a deeper level understanding with the public of the benefits created by our talent system. We also hope to monetize several activities that have not yet been analyzed in dollar-figures. e. Resources Needed and estimated timeline: This report has been put on hold until WIOA implementation and funding becomes clearer.
13. Employer Surveys a. Goal: Semi-annual surveying of employers using 2 surveys, rotating every 6 months b. Partners: WIN talent partners, economic developers, employers strategies partners c. Update: In development, surveys will cover two separate themes: workforce planning and needs, and employer hiring behavior. Project is on-going. Awaiting results from the retail and hospitality survey in order to update the next iterations. d. Alignment with WIN goals and Benefit to WIN partners: Aligns with WIN goal of providing data to partners and to help partners become more employer driven. e. Resources Needed and estimated timeline: WIN research director spends roughly 5% of her time on this project, more once results are in and edits need to be made. This project is ongoing.
