Energy, Construction & Utilities in the Inland Empire/Desert Region
Introduction The Strong Workforce Program (SWP) legislation calls for a “regional planning process” that identifies regional priorities for SWP investments, based on labor market data. The overall purpose of the regional planning process is to inform the investments of “local share” SWP funds by individual community colleges and “regional share” investments by colleges working together. Organized by occupational cluster, this report provides regional labor market demand data for occupations that are relevant to community college-level education and training programs. The report also provides regional supply data for community colleges and other education and training provider programs, for related occupations. Given the innate challenges with employment forecasting, the data in this report may not accurately reflect the current regional labor market. Therefore, it is recommended that this report and any specific data within it be used as a starting point for dialogue with stakeholders in the regional planning process, as opposed to an end point that will determine investment decisions.
The intent of this report is to help stimulate discussion between community colleges and their regional partners to identify pressing workforce needs and challenges.
The next step is to engage with industry, employers and other stakeholders to explore potential issues, identify supporting evidence and develop solutions. Combined, these steps will help generate workforce priorities that are critical to the region’s growth and prosperity.

Energy, Construction & Utilities in the Inland Empire/Desert Region
About the Data The occupations included in this report are those most relevant to community college education and training according to the middleskill definition found in Appendix A. It should be noted that the same occupation may exist across a variety of industries in a region. The term “industry” is defined as a group of businesses that produce similar goods and services, and share similar production processes for creating the goods and services they sell. Industries are classified using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes. Occupations are classified using Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) codes. Community college programs were identified for each occupation using the Taxonomy of Programs (TOP) coding system and are included in this report. Other educational institutional programs were identified using the Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) and then cross walked to TOP codes. Program and award data represent the potential supply of students to the labor market for the related group of occupations. Please see Appendix A: Methodology and Data Sources.

Community College Supply The number of students completing community college programs related to energy, construction and utilities was analyzed to determine if postsecondary institutions are supplying enough students to meet workforce demand. Table 3 shows the projected 2015 to 2020 annual job openings for the occupations in Table 2 with an associated TOP6 program. For the academic years between 2013 and 2016, Table 3 also shows the annual average number of associate degrees and certificates awarded by the California Community Colleges system in the region. Please note, an award is not equivalent to a single person in search of a job opening since students may earn more than one award, such as a degree in addition to a certificate.
