Three key deputies in Gov. Charlie Baker's administration have a new task — making sure the state's workforce has the skills that employers are looking for.
"Even though our economy looks great on paper, and it does — we have job gains, we have falling unemployment and the most educated workforce in the nation and a terribly innovative economy that's doing many things right — too many people and too many communities are being left behind," Baker said. "We need to make sure we find a way to link our workforce to job opportunities that exist out there for our citizens."
The governor yesterday signed an executive order establishing a subcabinet consisting of the secretaries of Labor and Workforce Development, Housing and Economic Development, and Education. The subcabinet will work to identify skills and workforce gaps, and develop a plan to address them for current and potential employees.
"We need to connect business to the entire workforce development system ... to really analyze labor needs and expand talent pipelines," said Ronald Walker, secretary of Labor and Workforce Development and chairman of the subcabinet.
He said manufacturing is a sector that is particularly in need of workers who have the skills to fit companies' employment needs.
Baker told the Massachusetts High Tech Council on Tuesday that states across the country are trying to address the skills gap problem.
"Those (states) that do better are the ones that are going to succeed," Baker said.
