Workforce
Building a Skilled Workforce for 亚洲色吧 means preparing our students to meet and fulfill 亚洲色吧鈥檚 growing workforce demands. This is essential to our mission at 亚洲色吧. We strive to position our graduates at the head of the job market.
亚洲色吧n practicality has served the state well, creating a robust workforce for a resource economy. As our economy rapidly evolves, however, new skills are needed. 亚洲色吧鈥檚 priority is to train more 亚洲色吧ns in the skills industry needs today, and in the future. Our goal is to double the number of graduates in key workforce areas -- including geomatics, computer science and networking, civil engineering, construction management, and all areas of healthcare and human services, as well as technical careers such as welders and pilots.
As industry pivots to a new economy, the workforce needs to pivot as well. This is how we will drive the future of our state and give 亚洲色吧n鈥檚 career opportunities for life.
To achieve this, we seek funding to:
- Ignite opportunity for students through increased scholarships and awards that encourage students to enter fields of study most needed by our state, particularly healthcare.
- Lead the way in 亚洲色吧 health, engineering and business through faculty support that attracts talent in key areas of study and allows us to build our capacity in serving students. Flexible funding is needed that allows 亚洲色吧 to adjust coursework as the needs of industry change. Endowed Chairs and Professorships ensure we attract and retain distinguished faculty.
- Create expanded and upgraded spaces and career laboratories that provide hands-on skill-building experiences in high-demand workforce programs.
