Manufacturing NotesSpoke with Brent Weil (via introduction from Nicole Rice) from the Manufacturing Institute: A major goal is to reach out to youths and parents about manufacturingNAMs is an advocate of manufacturers and the core competencies involved in the industryo Do not play any role in training or certifications14 partners were identified for national endorsement, with NIMs amongst themNAMs wants to align and build capacities with community collegesThe most identified skill gap at the moment is in technical work (involves some post‐secondaryeducation, but not necessarily a 2yr degree)Interested in developing a ‘competency‐based credential’NAMs is very interested in developing a stackable credential systemo The initial step would be a ‘work‐readiness’ certificateo Afterwards, work in tandem with the ‘Manufacturing Skills Standards Council’ todevelop four components, which will lead to a skills certification that will be cross‐cuttingSpoke briefly with David Morgan at NIMs (dmorgan@nims‐skills.org; 815‐484‐3898) NIMs currently has a large presence in the LA areaNIMs accredited a community college in CupertinoCalifornia is currently the 3rd largest credentialing area95% of the NIMs credentialing in California is the level 1 machines certification (NIMs has over 50certification levels)Imran Farooq provided the workgroup with several documents regarding the Inland Empire and theAdvanced Manufacturing industry; Deputy Sector Navigator Kenneth Eaves provided a wealth of informationregarding certificates and credentials offered in the regionStephen Baiter and Mark Martin provided documents highlighting the Advanced Manufacturing industrysector for the East Bay, as well as some leads with regards to NIMs
Inland EmpireAccording to LMID, the number of employed people in the Riverside Metropolitan Area is:Manufacturing Employment20142013Number90,20087,300This represents an increase of 3.2% in manufacturing employment for the Riverside/InlandEmpire area According to the “Advanced Manufacturing Industry & Occupations in the InlandEmpire” document: Currently (2014), there are 4,350 advanced manufacturing businesses, generating 24 billion inrevenueIt is difficult for the advanced manufacturing industry to expand and grow if they cannot find ‘skilledindividuals’The highest percentage of education requirement for the occupations in advanced manufacturing inthe Inland Empire area require a ‘Postsecondary Certificate/Associate Degree’ (35%)With respect to community college programs, of the 183 awards in 2011‐2012, 89% were identifiedas Certificates in manufacturing.With respect to ‘proprietary education’, a total of 531 certificates were earned; 458 formachine tools from NTMA Center and 76 in welding technology from CET San BernardinoAmong the top Certificates and Credentials offered in the region:o Industrial Electricalo Industrial Maintenance Mechanicso Industrial Electronicso WeldingInland Empire is also home to the National Center for Construction Education and Research(N C C E R) – The N C C E R allows all 112 public community colleges, public K‐12 systems, andcorrectional institutions to use the nationally recognized industry standardized curriculum in over 70crafts. They can provide industry recognized certification to their students/trainees. Many industrypartners require and use this curriculum such as Associated Builders and Contractors(ABC), Associated General Contractors (AGC) and Molycorp.Between 7/13 and 3/2015, the California Community College System through its ATEF's, 19N C C E R instructors provided instruction to 313 trainees/students.They completed 3,588 modules and were awarded national recognized industry certification forthose modules that total trainee contact hours of 40,313.Top 5 Manufacturing Occupations in the region: Industrial Maintenance Electrical and Instrumentation TechniciansControl System TechniciansMachinist/MillwrightsEngineeringQuality Assurance
Based on a conversation with Deputy Sector Navigator Ken Eaves on May 1, the table below is alist of the programs available in the Inland Empire Region by Community College. Please note the term ‘Stackable Certificate’ is based on the Chancellor’s Office’s definition as aseries of courses in a pathway that contains at least 3 units and less than 12 unitsThere is no consistency between any college programs such as welding, unless they are basedon nationally recognized certification. Welding programs such as San Bernardino and Barstowtypically provide instruction and training that could lead to AWS (American Welding Society)certification, but may or may not provide the testing required to do so.Other programs such as electrical, according to industry, currently taught by CommunityColleges and even unions do not provide the same level of skills, thereby leaving industry withthe uncertainty of the employee or potential employee brings to the workplace.Mr. Eaves is “pushing national certification at events such as CWA to promote this (uniformedcertification across Community Colleges). As more and more industries are exposed to thebenefits, they (employers) will look for them (certifications) in their hiring. I am seeing thismore and more. As the demand increases especially from the CWIB, more college programswill adopt them (uniformed certification).”Table 1 – Labor Market Data for Primary Occupations, Inland Empire2013 JobsDescription4,680Electricians3,163Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers2,776Machinists2,376Industrial Machinery Mechanics1,629Sheet Metal WorkersElectrical and Electronics Engineering1,064Technicians677Maintenance Workers, Machinery378Mechanical DraftersWelding, Soldering, and Brazing Machine 304Setters, Operators, and Tenders219Industrial Engineering Technicians218Chemical Plant and System Operators201Mechanical Engineering Technicians188Electro-Mechanical Technicians17,873Total/Average2015 Jobs % %Median Hourly Earnings 23.56 17.30 18.69 23.52 22.91 28.976833672921%‐3%‐4% 21.02 26.29 15.9421919720119317,599‐‐10%‐3%‐2% 24.14 25.79 23.82 24.78 24.78

Middle‐skill occupations are defined here as including jobs that generally require at least one year of skillsdevelopment beyond high school but less than a bachelor’s degree. The postsecondary skillsdevelopment may include education or training, or on‐the‐job training, or apprenticeship training,
or occupations that generally require one year or more of previous work experience. “When identifying requirements for occupations, credentials or certificates are not explicitlymentioned – this provides us with an opportunity to highlight the need and importance of this areaHow are credentials and certificates viewed in the Contra Costa area?Table 4: List of Occupations by Five Largest Subsectors, Contra CostaPetroleum Refining & Products Subsector: In-Demand Occupations (Grouped by OccupationalCategory)Production OccupationsFastestGrowingTotal Job MedianOpenings HourlyEarningsEducation Level-7%196 35.62Long-term on-the-job trainingFirst-Line Supervisors of Production andOperating Workers‐5%51 33.83Work experience in a relatedoccupationMixing/Blending Machine Setters,Operators, &Tenders‐5%38 20.76Moderate-term on-the-jobtrainingInstallation OccupationsFastestGrowingTotal Job MedianOpenings HourlyEarningsEducation Level‐8%12Associate's degreeFastestGrowingTotal Job MedianOpenings HourlyEarningsEducation Level‐4%16Short-term on-the-jobtrainingPetroleum Pump System Operators,Refinery Operators, and GaugersFirst-Line Supervisors of Mechanics,Installers, and RepairersLogistics OccupationsHeavy and Tractor-Trailer TruckDrivers 37.25 21.53Digital and Electronic Devices & Components Subsector: In-Demand Occupations (Grouped byOccupational Category)Production OccupationsFastestGrowingElectrical and Electronic EquipmentAssemblersTeam Assemblers‐7%Total Job MedianOpenings HourlyEarnings8 14.18‐22%5 13.44Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers, andWeighersSemiconductor ProcessorsMachinists‐10%4 19.5213%‐30%22 15.72 23.99Education LevelShort-term on-the-jobtrainingModerate-term on-the-jobtrainingModerate-term on-the-jobtrainingAssociate's degreeLong-term on-the-jobtraining
