2017 - 2018ANNUAL REPORT
A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT & CEO
Since our inception, Team Pennsylvania has sought to bring the private and public sector leaders of the commonwealth together to grow our collective economy. In this unique structure, businesses and stakeholders from Penn’s Landing to Presque Isle come together with a stated purpose that Pennsylvania can be a national leader in economic and workforce development. This drives us every day and is evident in the work you see in these pages.
We are proud of what we have done over the past 12 months. Whether it was building a new partnership in agriculture or seeking to recalibrate our educational system to be responsive to business needs, we took on big projects that will seek to change our state’s economy for years to come. None of that happens without all of you. Your investment and partnership is critical for Pennsylvania to be, in the words of our founder, Governor Tom Ridge, “A leader among states, and a competitor among nations.”
Yours in Partnership,
EDUCATION
In partnership with the Pennsylvania Department of Education and the PennsylvaniaDepartment of Labor & Industry, Team Pennsylvania is working to ensure
that businesses have a career-ready workforce,and that students have the resources they need to succeed.
“Industry partners appreciated that a high
school program was being developed that could help expand their workforce
pipeline. They were enthusiastic to get involved
and open their business sites to the students.
This demonstrated that education and industry work together toward
providing students career readiness opportunities.”
Ross Berger, College and Career Academy Program Coordinator at
Harrisburg School District
In 2017, the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry awarded Team Pennsylvania a Strategic Innovation Grant of $312,000 to support the Career Readiness Mini-Grant Project. The initiative sought to support regional work and incentivize greater collaboration between education and workforce development at the micro-level.
Team Pennsylvania partnered with the Pennsylvania Association of Intermediate Units (PAIU), awarding $30,000 in each of PA’s nine regions. School districts applied for up to $5,000 of flexible funding to support career readiness activities, and 65 school districts received awards.
Local Workforce Development Boards acted as critical resources for connections and information, introducing districts to regional businesses and data.
Industry and business leaders provided students first-hand experience through internships, job shadowing, and pre-apprenticeship programs.
Post-secondary entities partnered on dual enrollment programs, soft skills trainings, campus tours, and career days.
Approximately 94% of school districts grounded their projects in labor market information. Furthermore, over half of school districts indicated that the High Priority Occupation lists put out by the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry informed their projects.
Application of Labor Market Information
Expansion of Partnerships
Science, technology, engineering, and math occupations are expected to grow 9.1% annually, resulting in approximately 190,000 new positions by 2026. Many districts utilized their mini-grant to implement new and creative STEM activities, such as building heat detecting drones for search and rescue teams or organizing computer programming workshops.

informed outlook for our
state’s longterm business

Bringing the World to Pennsylvania
In September 2017, Team Pennsylvania provided funding and coordination in support of the annual Bringing the World to PA (BTW2PA) Trade events. This two-week tour around the state provides PA companies an opportunity to engage one-on-one with PA’s Authorized Trade Representatives and discuss international export opportunities for their products. In total, 276 companies participated, 95 of which were new clients to the trade program. This is the third BTW2PA event for which Team PA has provided full funding and support.
Team Pennsylvania partnered with Pennsylvania’s Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) to sponsor and organize a delegation to participate in the National Plastics Expo in Orlando Florida, May 7-11, 2018. Meetings with key business development prospects such as Shell, Braskem, Sekisui, Kennemetal, and Greiner were conducted during the event, which hosted over 65,000 professionals. Through the meetings and networking events at the Expo, Team Pennsylvania worked to promote Pennsylvania as a strong place for the plastics industry to invest in and thrive. This work is a result of the implementation strategy from last year’s report on petrochemical opportunities in Pennsylvania.
Working alongside DCED and Shell Oil Company’s Global Energy Scenarios Team, Team PA served as convener for the Pennsylvania Energy Horizons work to develop scenarios to inform PA’s energy strategy. Prompted with the question, “How might Pennsylvania’s energy system evolve over the next 25 years, and what might it mean for Pennsylvanians?” this project built two divergent pathways that the Commonwealth’s energy system might follow between now and 2040. This year-long collaborative initiative lays out the Rivers & Roots Scenarios.
European Business Development Mission
In support of Pennsylvania’s Office of International Business Development (OIBD), Team Pennsylvania led the coordination of a strategic multi-city mission to develop new prospects, engage partners and multipliers, and conduct retention visits with existing PA investors. From May 23 through June 6, presentations, meetings, and networking events were conducted in more than 10 unique European cities. Working in partnership with the Philadelphia Orchestra in Dusseldorf and Vienna, the team leveraged its relationship with the renowned orchestra as a catalyst to demonstrate what opportunities and assets exist for business growth and expansion in Pennsylvania. Since 2015, Team Pennsylvania has built upon this relationship to further direct foreign investment initiatives on behalf of OIBD and regional partners.

STRATEGIC RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Capitalize on branding and marketing opportunities;
2. Expand on agricultural infrastructure, such as processing and manufacturing capacity;
3. Continue improving regulatory processes and the business climate;
4. Broaden workforce development and education opportunities;
5. Make additional investments in infrastructure systems like transportation and broadband;
6. Diversify products to strengthen markets and build resiliency.
In January 2018 at the 102nd Pennsylvania Farm Show in Harrisburg, Team Pennsylvania and the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture (PDA) unveiled “Pennsylvania Agriculture: A Look at the Economic Impact and Future Trends.” The report, developed by Philadelphia-based Econsult Solutions and Temple University’s Fox School of Business, provides – for the first time – a detailed look at the direct and indirect impact of agriculture on Pennsylvania’s economy.
The report also contains a set of six strategic recommendations for policy and industry to advance Pennsylvania agriculture. The report and recommendations will continue to guide the work of the Agriculture Advisory Board in action oriented sub-committees developed and led by champions of the industry.
Team Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, and agriculture industry stakeholders recognized the importance of ensuring longterm sustainability of the agriculture public-private partnership. Thus, Team PA and PDA began the cooperative pursuit of hiring a devoted full-time staff person to manage the portfolio of strategic agriculture initiatives. Working together, several private-sector investors pledged contributions in support of the position, demonstrating a commitment to and an investment in a prosperous future for the commonwealth’s agriculture industry.
Team PA officially welcomed a full-time Manager of Agriculture Policy & Programs in May 2018. The cornerstone of the role is to facilitate new opportunities for economic growth that address needs of the industry through its integration into PDA’s Executive Office and facilitation of the Agriculture Advisory Board.

WORKFORCEDEVELOPMENT
Team Pennsylvania recognizes that a healthy economy depends on ahealthy workforce. We listen to the needs of business and industry, and ground
our work in aligning our education, workforce, and economic development systems.
With the transition to the Next Gen Industry Partnership model in fiscal year 2017-2018, the commonwealth funded 15 Next Generation Industry Partnerships through a competitive grant process. Additionally, five unfunded partnerships have launched across the commonwealth.
PARTNERSHIPS HAVE LAUNCHED IN THE FOLLOWING SECTORS:
Advanced Manufacturing – 8
Agriculture & Food Processing – 1
Business Services (IT) – 1
Energy – 1
Healthcare – 5
Hospitality, Leisure & Entertainment – 1
Logistics & Transportation – 2
COMMON THEMES:
Providing career awareness activities and talent development (training, retention, career pathways, etc.)
Business-to-business networking, regional marketing to business and workers, and joint advocacy efforts.
To bring more resources to the commonwealth’s workforce development community, Team Pennsylvania continued to advance Next Generation Industry Partnerships in the commonwealth. Pennsylvania’s economic vitality depends on creating an ecosystem where businesses have what they need to succeed while our workforce is prepared with in-demand skills. This requires an active, authentic, and engaged partnership from industry coupled with alignment across workforce and economic development efforts to ensure that we are collectively addressing the most critical needs of our regional economies. Next Generation Industry Partnerships serve as a venue for businesses to tackle the shared competitive needs of their sector—including, but not limited to, workforce issues, with support from public partners from workforce development, economic development, and education.
Starting in December 2017, a cross-agency state team met to develop proposed statewide and regional metrics for Next Generation Industry Partnerships. Over multiple meetings, the team developed a list of priority indicators of success in three categories: workforce, economic, and partnership engagement. Team Pennsylvania serves on that cross-agency state team and partners with national efforts to build capacity within the commonwealth.
