Raimondo, Governor of Rhode Island  \nMarch 2018  \nA Message from Governor Raimondo  \nThere is much that unites us in New England: our rich  \nhistory, stunning geography, resourceful citizens, innovative businesses, committed policy leaders and a powerful network of postsecondary institutions.  \nWe also share common challenges that are in many ways unique to our region. We welcome dynamic businesses to our region but we are experiencing a shortage of people who are ready and able to fill the jobs these employers require. As soon as 2020, New England states could face a gap as large as 27 percentage points between the share of residents with a postsecondary credential of  \nvalue, based on current attainment, and the share of jobs requiring  \nsome postsecondary education. Additionally, the number of new high school graduatesin New England is projected to decline 14% by 2032. Combined, these forces exacerbate talent pipeline gaps for our growing industries.  \nIn April 2017, when the Commission on Higher Education & Employability set out, I charged it to identify and recommend high-impact practices and institutional and state policies to improve the employability for all postsecondary graduates in New England.  \nI am pleased to say that we have started this work in Rhode Island, and I know that other New England governors are or are seeking to do the same. In my 2018 State of the State address, I talked about Rhode Island’s commitment to change and progress and challenged us to “Let’s Keep Going.” Through Rhode Island’s Promise, we have opened the doors to free community college. We opened the Westerly Higher Education Center to train people for jobs in local communities. And through the 10,000 Small Businesses partnership, Rhode Island is helping small business owners learn the skills they need to thrive in this technology-driven environment.  \nThe Commission on Higher Education & Employability’s overarching goal is to increase the career readiness, employability and successful work transitions of graduates, so they can make lifelong contributions to the New England economy and its society. In this report, this goal is supported by targeted recommendations and a strategic and collaborative action plan for higher education, policymakers and business/industry.  \nThe outcome will be that Rhode Islanders, and New Englanders, will gain a readiness that goes beyond their diplomas and will be demonstrated by their ability to transition seamlessly into the workforce, continue to adapt to employers’needs throughout their careers, and support their families.  \nOur collective challenge is “Let’s Keep Going.”  \n2 Learning for Life and Work  \nContents  \nExecutive Summary ......................................................................................... 5  \nDefining Employability .................................................................................. 11  \nEmployability and Equity.............................................................................. 13  \nThe Case for Employability .......................................................................... 14  \nA Regional Imperative................................................................................... 17  \nThe Changing Nature of Work....................................................................20  \nRecommendations .........................................................................................23  \nEffective Use of Labor Market Data & Intelligence (LMDI) ................27  \nTargeted Higher Education-Industry Partnerships................................33  \nPlanning, Advising and Career Services ....................................................37  \nWork-Integrated, Cooperative and Internship-based Learning.......43  \nDigital Competencies ................................................","cbCaibRxjlb4JV48","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibRxjlb4JV48","pdf",3259145,64,"English","# Executive Summary\n## Defining Employability\n## Employability and Equity\n## The Case for Employability\n## A Regional Imperative\n## The Changing Nature of Work\n## Recommendations\n## Effective Use of Labor Market Data & Intelligence (LMDI)\n## Targeted Higher Education-Industry Partnerships\n## Planning, Advising and Career Services\n## Work-Integrated, Cooperative and Internship-based Learning\n## Digital Competencies\n## Emerging Credentials and Credentialing Systems\n## Next Steps\n## Appendix and References","[{\"question\":\"What problem does the report identify for New England’s workforce readiness?\",\"answer\":\"Employers face a shortage of people ready and able to fill jobs that require postsecondary education, with projected credential-to-job gaps and a decline in new high school graduates by 2032.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the Commission define the purpose of employability in the report?\",\"answer\":\"Employability is framed as readiness that goes beyond diplomas, enabling seamless transitions into the workforce and continued adaptation to employers’ needs across careers.\"},{\"question\":\"What types of recommendations are included in the report?\",\"answer\":\"The recommendations span labor market data use, higher education-industry partnerships, planning/advising and career services, work-integrated learning, digital competencies, and emerging credentials and credentialing systems.\"}]","Learning for Life and Work - Report of the Commission on Higher Education & Employability | PDF",1792054767,161]
