Postsecondary Credential Workforce Gap Analysis, Commonwealth of PA
Posted by PA Department of Education on September 24, 2024
In October of 2023, the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) retained Baker Tilly to study the gap between postsecondary credentials (certificates and degrees from colleges and universities) and workforce demand from employers across all sectors and regions in the statewide economy in 2023 and through 2032. All analyses detailed below are based on the current structure and funding of Pennsylvania’s postsecondary sector and do not include an analysis of how any potential reform measures would address postsecondary workforce credential gaps. The analyses indicate that Pennsylvania’s demand for workers with postsecondary-level skills and credentials is greater than the current supply and greater than the future supply that postsecondary institutions are positioned to produce. Further, the analyses provide additional detail regarding workforce credential gaps in of each of five regions of the Commonwealth.
