The Long-Term Unemployed by Education & Age

Education: Lots of potential to bring the long-term unemployed from HS/GED and Associate’s/Some college up to a Bachelor’s Degree.

Age: Interesting that 30-34 yr. range is higher then drops and climbs again in the 45-59 yr. range.

How to Help the Long-Term UnemployedHow to Help the Long-Term UnemployedDEW recently produced a study on the long-term or chronically unemployed and entertained ideas of how to help them rejoin the workforce. Highlights of that study concluded that: •Employers perception of candidates may be an obstacle. They would rather hire someone fresh out of college than someone who has been out of the workplace for a long time and whose skills they may think have atrophied. DEW works with hundreds of employers through our Business Services Division and can explain the benefits of services such as apprenticeships, OJT programs, business tax credits, and Federal bonding.

•Jobseekers will also need to be up to speed on job search skills in order to get their foot in the door. In addition to resume writing, DEW plans to offer/will continue to offer training (computer, social media, interviewing skills, job and soft skills training), networking opportunities, and encourage volunteering.

Identifying the Educational Needs of Adult Identifying the Educational Needs of Adult LearnersLearners

• According to the National Center for Educational Statistics, over the next decade “…there will be a 23% increase in the number of adult students attending degree-granting, post-secondary institutions and only a 9% increase in ‘traditional’ students.”

• About 43.5 million people aged 25 and older in the US have some post-secondary education but no degree.

• In the Upper Savannah area, 55.8% have a high school diploma/GED up to an Associate’s Degree.

• “Degree completion” is what many adults need to start or rejoin the world of work.

• The USAV area is rich in manufacturing employment with 39 occupations on the growing list for 2020, but only 5 of those 39 manufacturing occupations require an Associate’s or Bachelor’s Degree.

• Employers in the area have needs in Marketing and Sales (especially sales management and sales that require additional knowledge) that are not matched in post-secondary training.

• Managers and first-line supervisors in retail establishments and specific knowledge of insurance, advertising, and real estate are needed in sales.

What Do Adult Learners Need?What Do Adult Learners Need?

Five Most Critical Needs of Adult StudentsFrom an article by Victoria Berling,

Executive Director of Educational Outreach, Northern Kentucky University

1.Programming that works with their schedules and locations: Flexible scheduling and delivery to allow adult learners to continue working and/or caring for family is a major need.

2.Relevant degree programs: Programs need to be aligned with their life and work goals.

3.Clear expectations: They do not want to waste time so they need to know what you want from them!

4.Feedback from instructors: Lack of confidence in a classroom setting makes adult learners need reassurance in their performance.

5.Acknowledgement of prior learning: To recognize experience and decrease costs, they want to earn credits through portfolio and/or testing options.
