The Facts
Job growth in the sector across the state added over 15,400 jobs in 2011 led by firms in computers, electronics, metal and machinery product manufacturing the latter two are strongly represented
in the Inland Empire.
The Facts
Revenue generated by the sector in the region in 2010 was between $26 and $50
billion.
The Facts
Average 2011 sector earnings per worker were $90,935, compared to an average median household income of $57,109 (U.S. Census
Quick Facts, 2012).
“Eighty-three percent of the companies indicate a moderate to severe shortage of skilled production workers and 69% of
companies expect this shortage to worsen over the next three to five years (Deloitte and
The Manufacturing Institute, 2011).
Supply and Demand gaps
Manufacturing jobs in the Inland Empire are growing,
but employers report difficulty in finding qualified employees to fill their job
openings.
Supply and Demand gaps
Today’s manufacturing operations are technologically advanced and highly efficient
resulting in a need to also train incumbent workers to upgrade
their skill sets.
Supply and Demand gaps
Manufacturing is no longer the tedious,
dirty factory work of the past.
Supply and Demand gaps
Many functions are now performed by technologically advanced computer systems
and robots which require highly technical skills to
operate, maintain and repair.
Supply and Demand gaps
The changing nature of manufacturing work is making it harder for
talent to keep up
Supply and Demand gapsThe hardest jobs to fill are those that have the biggest impact on performance.
Shortages in skilled production jobs are taking their toll on manufacturers’ ability to expand operations, drive innovation, and improve productivity.
Supply and Demand gaps
Pending retirements of the aging Baby Boomer workforce will further compound the worker
shortage.
The Deputy Navigator will work collaboratively in a network
comprised of the statewide Sector Navigator and other Deputy Navigators within
the advanced manufacturing sector and work with key stakeholders within the
Inland Empire.

Larry McLaughlinAdvanced Transportation & Renewables Sector
AT&R Sector DescriptionSECTOR DESCRIPTION
The Advanced Transportation and Renewables Sector represents two industries that are extremely important to the future of California, advanced transportation and renewable energy. The clean energy technologies being developed and marketed in this sector are becoming a critical part of the State’s strategy for reducing our impact on climate as well as growing a green economy. California has always been a world leader in clean energy technologies, but to maintain our leadership, a superior workforce skilled for these rapidly changing technologies must exist. The Chancellor’s Office is working in partnership with community colleges, public schools, private industry, labor, economic development organizations, and workforce development agencies to invest in the growth of this sector. It has identified key talent to bring these stakeholders together and better align CTE programs with industry needs. Ensuring that California has a highly skilled, clean energy workforce is the goal of the Advanced Transportation and Renewables Sector and the focus of its state-level Sector Navigator and Regional Sector Navigators.
AT&R Growth in the Region
DISTRIBUTED & UTILITY-SCALE SOLAR
A Centers of Excellence environmental scan titled The Solar Industry & Occupations: Distributed and Utility-scale Generation (February 2012), predicts that solar projects to be built in this region over the next five years will produce 5921 Megawatts of clean electric power. According to the study, about two construction jobs will be created for every planned megawatt in a utility-scale solar project, which totals 11,842 jobs during construction.
A study conducted by the Coachella Valley Economic Partnership under
contract with COD’s Workforce Innovation Partnerships grant (June 2012), used job creation data gathered from similarly-built utility-scale renewable energy projects across the country to better assess job creation potential of projects planned in the region. The study estimates that 40,000 construction jobs and more than 4,000 permanent positions will be created in San Bernardino, Riverside, and Imperial County.
AT&R Growth in the RegionSMALL-SCALE COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL SOLAR
The Centers for Excellence study mentioned above (February 2012) states that distributed generation is expected see the greatest growth. Nearly 2000 firms specialize in the installation, manufacturing, and distribution of these systems and are expected to add 8,000 to 10,000 new installation jobs by 2015.
A report issued from the Governor’s Conference on Local Renewable Energy titled, “California’s Transition to Local Renewable Energy: 12,000 Megawatts By 2020” (June 7, 2012) states that while large energy projects (20 to 1,000 megawatts) are enabling California to make large strides toward the 33 percent Renewable Portfolio Standard goal, “just as important to that effort are the thousands of smaller, local renewable energy systems (1 kilowatt to 20 megawatts) that Californians are building in their communities.”
AT&R Growth in the RegionATERNATIVE FUEL AND ELECTRIC VEHICLES
The City of Riverside was recently named the “Number 1 Government Green Fleet in the United States” at the 2012 Green Fleet Conference. It deploys 550 vehicles operating on compressed natural gas, electricity, or other fuel alternatives.
Ryder Trucks announced that it received $38.7 million from the U.S. Dept. of Energy and the California Energy Commission to replace the majority of its local fleet with natural gas vehicles.
The Department of Energy awarded $1 million in December to the South Coast Air Quality Management District for the “Community Readiness and Planning for Plug-In Electric Vehicles and Charging Infrastructure” project.
The California Energy Commission approved more than $17 million in funding that will be used to support clean transportation projects in the state. Some of these funds will affect fleet operations in the Inland Empire, including CALSTART Inc., $3.52 million. The funds are targeted toward expansion of the California CLEAN Truck Demonstration Program.
AT&R Growth in the RegionUTILITY-SCALE WIND ENERGY
Wind energy growth planned in the Tehachapi area and the upgrading of old turbines to new in Palm Springs are creating the need for skilled technicians in our region. The California Independent System Operator Corporation (ISO), the state’s primary operator for its high-voltage network, reported on April 7, 2013 that California’s wind energy production levels reached a new all-time high of 4,196 megawatts (MW).

*The Information and Communications Technologies (ICT)/Digital Media sector encompasses all rapidly emerging, evolving, and converging computer, software, networking, telecommunications, Internet, programming, information systems and digital media technologies. It is an umbrella term that includes many different competing subset terminologies. ICT is a comprehensive framework for organizing these inter-related, interdependent, and rapidly changing technologies and high-tech fields and for organizing the ICT workforce, which spans across organizations of all sizes and in all industries. The ICT term and framework are widely used outside the U.S., by institutions including the United Nations, the European Union, World Bank, International Telecommunications Union, and others. ICT is recognized in many global economies as a strategically important industry and employment sector that is a major driver of economic growth.
