Demand is increasing among employers for a workforce equipped with 21st century skills—including the ability to communicate clearly, work collaboratively in teams, think critically, and approach problems with creativity. Interventions to build these skill sets start in the earliest years and continue through employment—students must be equipped with these competencies to solve today’s challenges and to be prepared to succeed in an ever-changing and complex workforce. In this session, participants will discuss approaches for building 21st century skills and measuring learning outcomes to prepare children and youth for the workforce.
Objectives:
• Identify successful interventions to build relevant skills during different phases of a student’s lifetime
• Discuss approaches for ensuring that program outcomes build 21st century skills
• Identify environments and support structures that promote optimal learning

Building Tomorrow’s Workforce: Industry & Community College Partnership Key To Long-term Economic Growth
Ann Arbor, MI – Strategic relationships between industry and community colleges will boost our economy over the long-term by training tomorrow’s workers for future jobs. According to “Building Tomorrow’s Workforce,” a report sponsored by Lumina Foundation for Education, many future workers will be younger documented Hispanic immigrants who often lack higher education credentials.
Regardless of the current economic woes, the workforce in 2014 will be strongly defined by two factors: the departure of large numbers of “baby boomers” and the rapid growth of the Hispanic workforce. These legal immigrants need greater postsecondary opportunities in order to fill expected gaps in industry sectors related to infrastructure and green manufacturing.
“We found examples of successful partnerships between manufacturers and community colleges that are committed to helping today’s workforce gain the supply chain skills this industry sector needs,” said Jeannine La Prad, President and CEO of the Corporation for a Skilled Workforce which led the study. “These models have implications for every business and industry that will need to consider the inevitable demographic shifts that will shape the workforce for decades to come.”
Overall, the U.S. labor force will grow from 147 million to 162 million between 2004 and 2014 entirely as a result of population growth. However, the proportion of “native” workers will remain flat over that time. As a result, without significant immigration, the national workforce would shrink substantially. Hispanics are the fastest growing segment of the population but they are also one of the least educated. If the nation is to fill the projected workforce gaps, there will have to be a concerted effort to better educate documented Hispanic immigrants.
“Predictions are that despite today’s economic situation, the U.S. will need significantly more highly educated workers too as soon as 2014,” said Sarita Brown, President of Excelencia in Education, a partner in the report. “For the proposed economic stimulus plans to have long lasting and far reaching effects, we must value all our workers and further the education and training for legal Hispanic immigrants.”
“Building Tomorrow’s Workforce” highlights six innovative partnerships between manufacturers and community colleges. Each program focuses on enrolling Hispanic immigrants with no post-secondary experience in college level coursework, on getting buy-in from employers, and on having strong commitment from a local community college. The programs are located in a variety of regions:
•Morgan Community College and Cargill Meat Solutions in Fort Morgan, Colorado
•Miami Dade College and Florida Power and Light in Miami, Florida
•Instituto del Progreso Latino (a community based organization), Humboldt Park Vocational Education Center, a campus of Wilbur Wright College, and ManufacturingWorks in Chicago, Illinois
•Shoreline Community College and Puget Sound Automobile Dealers Association, Seattle, Washington
•Central Texas Technology Center (CTTC), the workforce development training campus of Alamo Community College; Seguin Adult Education Cooperative; WorkSource Career Centers; and local industry, near San Antonio, Texas
•Cerritos Community College, One-Stop Workforce Center, and local employers, Los Angeles, California

New Bolsover, Derbyshire, 1891-1894.
These houses form part of the 'Model Village' built by the Bolsover Colliery Company to house its workforce, following enlightened Garden Suburb principles of planning and design.
Grade ll listed.
In 1890 the Bolsover Colliery Company Ltd sank Bolsover Colliery and in 1891 started construction of a Model Village at New Bolsover in the fields below the Castle. This was the first of a series of Model mining villages developed by the Company and the first “Model” mining village built on “garden city lines” in the country. Mr JP Houfton, the Managing Director, was quoted in the Times in 1913 as saying “the Company have tried to make the lives of the workmen as pleasant as possible, and to give them such an interest in the place in which they live that they are content to spend their leisure in their own village”.
Emerson Bainbridge, the founder of Bolsover Colliery Company, had strong social views demonstrated in building the model village and the higher standard of living conditions and wages compared with other colliery villages. He even built an orphanage for the miners' children.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Emerson Muschamp Bainbridge (1845-1911) was born at Newcastle on Tyne and educated at Doncaster and at Durham University. He was articled to mining engineering with the Marquis of Londonderry in Durham College. In 1870 he became manager of the Sheffield and Tinsley Collieries, and soon afterwards he was in charge of the Nunnery pits on behalf of the Duke of Norfolk. These were turned into a limited company in 1874, and he then became managing director with a controlling interest.
In 1889 Bainbridge obtained a lease from the Duke of Portland for the Tophard or Barnsley coal, under areas of land in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. He then founded the Bolsover Colliery Company to take over the lease, and to mine the coal. He was entirely responsible for the development of Bolsover with regard to both the colliery and the New Bolsover model village. Bainbridge was also interested in local railways, and held many directorships including the Lancashire, Derbyshire & East Coast Railway, the Sheffield District Railway, New Hucknall Colliery, Yorkshire Engine Company and Wharncliffe Silkstone Colliery. He was a great supporter of the project for an East to West railway from Sutton-on-Sea to Liverpool, of which only the eastern portion was completed He also supported the Sheffield Canal, and in 1889 lectured in the town on the possibility of bringing large vessels up the canal into Sheffield.
Bainbridge was known as a philanthropist. He provided money for the YMCA scheme at Sheffield, leading to the establishment of the Association Buildings Co. Ltd. and the headquarters buildings. In 1881 he entertained all the members at Chatsworth. He built and founded the Jeffie Bainbridge Home for Waifs and Strays at the corner of Norfolk Street and Surrey Street in Sheffield in memory of his wife, the building being opened by the Duke and Duchess of Portland.
At the 1895 general election Bainbridge was elected as Member of Parliament for Gainsborough, but lost the seat in 1900.
