Project Request/Statement of Need

The Long Island Aerospace industry is a major contributor to the New York State economy

The growth of this critical industry depends on employee skills development because of the expected job growth in aerospace over the next ten years

Growth will be potentially limited by the ability to hire new employees, with the required skills

Rapid technological advances will require incumbent worker education/training

Aerospace and Defense Diversification Alliance in Peacetime Transition (ADDAPT)

(A team of ADDAPT, the Cypress Group and Cooperating Executives Organization)

Project Management Plan

Meetings of the Career Mapping Subcommittee will be convened on a regular basis to evaluate the progress of the Project and to provide direction to the ADDAPT and SBRF consultants for future activities

Copies of all reports submitted by the consultants to the NYSDOL Workforce Development and Training Division will be simultaneously distributed to the Subcommittee representatives

These reports, along with additional scanning information, will guide the Subcommittee in its efforts to support and adjust the Project, as needed

The Subcommittee will report the progress of the Project to the Business Services Team, the Long Island Consortium for Workforce Development, the LWIBS and other appropriate organizations


11

Project Management Plan (Continued)

The Project will be jointly operated by ADDAPT and SBRF, under separate contractual agreements with NYSDOL

SBRF will coordinate the Career Mapping assignments for the Project and will

serve as the liaison to the Career Mapping Subcommittee

Working in close coordination with ADDAPT, SBRF will report to the Subcommittee to inform it of the status planned, active and completed projects

Both consultants will be trained to cross-market workforce investment products and services in the course of their Career Mapping activities

Issues that arise requiring direction or clarification regarding the coordination of the Project will be submitted by SBRF to the Subcommittee


12

Project Management Plan (Continued)

Career Mapping will be included in the portfolio of products offered to business by the three LWIBS and the Business Services Team

Information regarding the services available through the project will be included in local workforce investment system marketing material, both in hard copy and on-line

Information sessions for businesses and business organizations will be convened at local One-Stop Centers, at LWIB meetings and at other appropriate venues, in a manner that establishes a clear connection between the Project and the workforce investment system

Findings: Industry Issues of Concern Regarding Worker Skills

Qualifications of high school graduates (K-12 students) and vocational school graduates for entry level jobs

Verbal and written communication skills are a major problem with both new and existing employees (Exacerbated by the influx of recent immigrants)

Ability to work in a “team” environment is lacking (poor interpersonal skills)

Understanding of basic math and science is a major shortcoming of both high school graduates and many college graduates entering this industry


16

Findings: Industry Training Needs

There is a critical need to develop and facilitate a training facility on Long Island to train “hands on” workers in the metal fabrication trades

Incumbent worker training in blue print reading Industry specific training for incumbent workers in management

skills, lean manufacturing process improvement training and ISO 9000 training prior to company certification

Specialized company training where training curriculum and associated resources are difficult to identify in the local academic and private training providers

This training is only available from the suppliers of the specialized and technically sophisticated capital equipment and Manufacturing/Enterprise Resource Planning systems (MRP/ERP)


17

Findings: Industry Trends

Some industries are moving away from “metals” to “composites” They are already “spinning” an aircraft fuselage from composite

materials Major manufacturers are no longer buying just component parts

or just machined components, they are buying major subassemblies

Small manufacturers must grow to be “mini” prime contractors or be acquired by larger companies

These changes will result in the need for completely different manufacturing processes and management techniques that the typical small company does not currently have, resulting in extensive re-training of the incumbent work force


18

Major military and commercial prime contractors such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin and the European Aeronautic Defense and Space Company (EADS) will be competing for major US military contracts for the first time

Examples:

Competition to replace the 40 year old US Air Force tanker aircraft (EADS vs. Boeing)

Contract just won by a team of a US and British European company to produce the US Presidential helicopter

These contractors typically involve consortiums of foreign and US contractors who must work together resulting in extensive training requirements to address the difference in cultures, language, business practices and the complexities of the US regulations including international trade


19

These changes will have a dramatic impact on both the incumbent work force and the required improvements in training and the skills that will be required of entry level employees from K-12 public education system and graduates of universities and colleges

Examples:

Business and financial practices associated with international trade Must speak several languages Understanding of Export Administration

Regulations (EAR), ITAR regulations and documentation required for US export compliance


20

Deliverable documentation, as a result of the first year assessment/study will include:

A composite organization chart, showing all of the functional elements and every job position in the first group of 24 companies.

Job descriptions, associated rankings and skill levels required for each job position

Wage rates ranges for each job description Currently required training (typical) for the job

position Career ladder paths
