BW Research, in collaboration with the South Central Coast Center of Excellence for Labor Market Research, developed the South Central Coast Priority Sectors Report to better understand the workforce needs and opportunities across the region’s priority sectors:
1. Aerospace & Defense
2. Clean Economy
3. High-Tech
4. Life Sciences
5. Working Lands & Water
Together, these five sectors provide 18% of jobs in the South Central Coast region and contribute 26% of the region’s economic output.
The report provides sector snapshots, including growth constraints, labor market demand drivers, as well as community college priorities and a regional workforce investment framework.
