Will and Skill: Aligning Educational Initiatives with the East Texas &Texas Labor Market
Labor Market & Career Information (LMCI)Texas Workforce Commission
[email protected] (512) 936-3105
1. Do students expect their credentials to improve their job possibilities? 2. Do jobseekers need continuous skill upgrades for an evolving workplace? Are we identifying skill needs?3. Are employers a primary customer of the education system? What are their labor force needs?4. Is college ready and career ready the same? Do our students understand workplace expectations?5. What are we doing to align education with labor market demand and employer skill needs and hiring requirements?
To What Degree Should Education Be Responsive to the Labor Market?
Recent Job Growth and Population Trends:
Understanding labor market trends can make a big
difference in guiding students to make informed education
and career choices
Labor markets involve millions of individual
actors, all making decisions
simultaneously.
Because nobody knows everything happening in the
economy today, and nobody can tell the
Future:Convergent Validity

Labor Market Analysis
A Goldilocks Economy….
Not too Hot…Not too Cold…
Texas Themes of the day
1. The Texas economy continues to be stronger than the U.S. Texas is subject to the same global macroeconomic forces as other parts of the U.S. (Marl, Nylon-12)
2. Demographic shifts are changing the face of the Texas labor market where we live, what we look like
3. Nobody lives in Texas: Distinct regional differences exist in job opportunities by industry & occupation demand
4. Recent Texas job growth has been largely fueled by: Population growth, the Oil & gas cluster and Professional & Business Services
5. Occupational demand is more bifurcated. Employers continue to emphasize skill sets and experience over job titles and degrees
6. The current skill alignment between labor market demand and education outputs is less than perfect
7. In the end, getting a job is all about balancing Will and Skill
Hiring is Up: New Hires vs. Separations

Future Jobs: The economy is changing and so is labor market demand.
How is it changing, where are we headed and what’s hot
now?
Practices affecting job growth and worker preparation
1. Money economy are labor market are decoupling Who’s making money vs. Who’s creating jobs?
2. Emergence of new & blended occupationsNew jobs that combine work activities from 2 or more traditional occupations into a single “new” job
3. Work Activity Off-loading - passing off lower value-added work to assistants/technicians. See Paralegals, Physicians Assistants, Physical Therapy Assistants
4. Occupational crowding Higher skilled workers taking lower skilled jobs, thus displacing lower skilled workers altogether
5. Technological obsolescence & Labor substitution Technology replacing both workers or specific skills
Decoupling: Productivity Influences Job Creation

from drudgery and repetitive tasks”

What is IT? Is this IT?
What is the IT labor market? Can it be defined as an industry? Can it be defined by occupation? Can it be defined by college major? Is IT a ubiquitous operation or a cross- domain function? Should it be defined by skill set?

Education makes a difference. Some kind of postsecondary
education is important but not all fields of study are rewarded
equally. What you study matters!
More education, better labor market outcomes

Preparing students for 21st century jobs: The labor market for good jobs is
competitive. Balancing Will & Skill
Regional employers say they want…1. Good communications skills: Can you….. Explain what you’re doing (to co-worker or customer)? Explain what you need (from a co-worker or customer)? Ability to listen to instructions?
2. Technical knowledge (degrees needed for half of all job openings)
4. Can you work with people who are of a different age, race, gender and education level than you?
5. Can-do attitude / pleasant attitude (workers who are “engaged” in their work)
6. Critical thinking skills (if given a sequence of events, can you determine what will probably happen next)
Giraffe Critical Thinking Quiz1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?Answer: Open the refrigerator, put in the giraffe, and close the door. This tests whether you tend to do simple things in an overly complicated way.
2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?Answer: Open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe, put in the elephant, close the door. This tests your ability to understand the repercussions of your actions.
Giraffe Critical Thinking Quiz
3. The Lion King is hosting an All Animal Meeting. All the animals attend - except one. Which animal does not attend?Answer: The Elephant. The elephant is in the refrigerator. You just put him in there, remember? This tests your memory.
4. You must cross a shallow river, but it is used by crocodiles and you do not have a boat. How do you manage it?Answer: You jump in the river and swim across. Pay attention! All the crocodiles are at the Meeting with the other animals. This tests if you learn quickly from your mistakes.
Anderson Consulting says 90% of Professionals tested got all questions wrong, but many
preschoolers got several correct answers. This conclusively proves
that most professionals do not have the brains of a four-year-old.

“I don’t know if we’re going to take existing jobs and expand their duties or if we’ll create new jobs, but
it’s going to change our workforce. In the past, if you had a high school education and could learn some
technical skills, that was enough to work for us. But now we want an Associate’s degree or equivalent
military experience – and that will be the minimum hiring requirement starting this year.”
Larry Fuller, director of human resourcesCenterPoint Energy, Houston, Texas

“There’s not one specific thing or skill people have to have to work for us. But I can tell you why we fire people: soft skills. We hire for hard skills. We fire for soft skills. The ability to interact and communicate with others or behave ethically and take responsibility for things tends to be where people tend to break down.”
