Abstract

The "Your Talent-Your Future" program will review occupational demand and correlating degrees and certifications needed to meet that demand to Georgia's supply of these degrees and certifications.  Program attendees will receive valuable information for their students including the degrees and certifications that are oversupplied and under supplied in Georgia at all educational levels, the top occupations and industries in the state, and recommendations for closing the skills gap.  

Description

A widening gap between employer talent  demand and skilled worker supply is a challenge in the global marketplace and, more specifically, for states and cities across the United States that are concerned about growing local economics.  With 15,496 job postings between 2010 and 2015, Georgia is similarly situated.  The Metro Atlanta Chamber, in collaboration with partner Accenture, developed the "Your Talent-Your Future" report that compares occupational demand and correlating degrees and certifications needed to meet the demand to Georgia's supply of these degrees and certifications.  The findings from the Metro Atlanta Chamber will be presented.
