EMSI Report for CCS
Program gap analysisHow well is CCS’s aerospace program satisfying workforce demands?
Economic impact studyWhat are the economic impacts of CCS’s aerospace program on the regional economy?
Aerospace industry
in CCS’s 6-county service region
Aerospace industry
in CCS’s 6-county service region
• 5 key aerospace occupations employ 871+ workers (0.3% of total regional
employment)
1. Aerospace Engineering and Operations Technicians
2. Engineering technicians, Except Drafters, All Other
3. Avionics Technicians
4. Aircraft Mechanics and Service Technicians
5. Aircraft Structure, Surfaces, Rigging, and Systems Assemblers
• Local employers are most likely to hire completers from the CCS program.
• Median hourly wages are 25% higher than the median earnings for all other
occupations ($23.28/hour vs. $18.46/hour)
Program Gap Analysis Supply & demand for certificate-level programs
• Rural Aerospace Training: 121 annual openings, 7 completers (gap = 114)
• Machinist/CNC Technology: 76 annual openings, 4 completers (gap = 72)
• Aviation Maintenance Technology: 31 annual openings, 45 completers (surplus =
14)
Program Gap AnalysisSupply & demand for associate’s-level programs
• Machinist/CNC Technology: 83 annual openings, 9 completers (gap = 75)
• CAD Design & Drafting: 5 annual openings, 29 completers (surplus = 24)
Economic Impact StudyEconomic impact of aerospace programs
• CCS’s Aerospace program has 12,242 graduates.
• Graduates are expected to generate $149.4 million in added income to the regional economy in 2014 (0.66% of CCS service area’s Gross Regional Product).
• Top three programs for total economic impact:
• Aviation Maintenance Technology ($41.8M)
• Electrical Maintenance & Automation ($28.4M)
• Hydraulic & Pneumatic Automation Technician ($24.2M)
Economic Impact StudyDetailed economic impact of aerospace programs
1. Initial effect – wages paid to CCS alumni by employers
2. Direct effect – income generated as employers spend wages on goods & services
at businesses
3. Indirect effect – income generated as businesses purchase goods & services
4. Induced effect – income generated for employees of all local businesses
Economic Impact StudyLifetime earnings of aerospace program completers
Top three programs for lifetime earnings and positive returns:
1. Aviation Maintenance Technology $927,300 ($537,800 more than without the
degree)
2. Hydraulic and Pneumatic Automation Technician $809,100 ($419,600 more
than without the degree)
3. Aerospace Composite Technician $798,900 ($409,400 more than without the
degree)
