General Trends • Like the rest of the country, a significant portion of the population is nearing retirement. This alone will drive significant demand for new workers. June 23, 2009 Page 6

Statewide Projections • Ohio projects a significant demand for workers with high education and training levels June 23, 2009 Page 7

Medina Characteristics • The dominant employment sectors for this region in 2005 were trade, transportation and utilities; professional and business services; manufacturing; and education and health services. • Management of companies and enterprises is more concentrated here than elsewhere in the state and experienced the most job growth from 2000 to 2005, followed by health care and social assistance. **** The sectors in boxes denote those sectors which appear in both the top 10 gross employment #’s and the top 10 in new jobs. June 23, 2009 Page 8

Medina Characteristics • “Fairly” similar pattern of educational attainment when compared to the surrounding counties and the rest of the state. • Educational Attainment Perhaps two salient points – Smaller % of Masters degrees – Larger % of High School degrees or better • Commuter patterns cause longer workdays and create strong need for local educational opportunities for evening and weekend June 23, 2009 Page 9

Statewide Health Care Skills Demand A study released by NEONI at the end of 2004, Measuring Student Capacity and Faculty Resources in Northeast Ohio Schools of Nursing, found that the region’s schools of nursing are full. In the 2002 -2003 academic year, more than 550 qualified students were turned away from area nursing schools because the programs were at capacity. However, the country is about to face the largest ever retirement of nurses in the next 15 to 20 years. June 23, 2009 Page 11

Manufacturing Opportunities There is momentum building for the current administration to fully fund programs of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT) at levels Congress has already approved for FY 2010, and use of other authorized funds, to invest $1. 2 billion in fuel cells, hydrogen and infrastructure. • Some of the pertinent components for MCUC could be: – EXPAND Learning Demonstrations $375 Million • Learning demonstrations put early commercial and advanced experimental systems in the hands of government and private sector users who help evaluate the systems even while enjoying their realworld benefits. – BUILD American Manufacturing Capacity $100 Million • Fuel cell companies and suppliers need to invest in manufacturing capacity but money from banks and investors is difficult to find. Federal grants and tax credits for investment in manufacturing infrastructure will keep jobs and industrial capability in the US, stimulate the US supply chain and reduce unit costs. US manufacturers can begin upgrading and expanding their capacity immediately. – ACCELERATE Research in Partnership with Industry $350 Million • Federal research employs thousands in high-tech professions and trades. Fuel cell and hydrogen research can retain and expand jobs at universities and national laboratories and in the private sector, and can accelerate commercialization. Basic research is needed in advanced materials. June 23, 2009 Page 13
