Higher education needed to fill skilled job
deficit The Daily Illini - 10/23/13

• Postsecondary credentials are now required to
  enter the middle class, according to the Illinois
  Board of Higher Education. As 140,000
  high-skilled jobs go unfilled in Illinois each
  year, Gov. Pat Quinn pushes 60 percent of the
  state population to hold postsecondary
  credentials or a degree by 2025.

LaSalle News Tribune Article - 2/8/14

• Eleven Illinois Valley-based manufacturers have
  backed the program by pledging interest in hiring
  students who earn the certificate. Some have even
  asked the college to enroll more because they
  have demand for filling these high-paying
  positions. Those manufacturers include American
  Nickeloid, Maze Nails, Eakas and James Hardie of
  Peru, Carus Corp. of La Salle, Hart Electric of
  Lostant, HCC of Mendota, MBL (USA) of Ottawa and
  Transco, Plymouth Tube and Vactor Manufacturing
  of Streator. The certificate course prepares
  students for high-performance, technologically
  advanced production jobs. It also serves a need
  for employers who want to give additional
  training to its existing workforce.
