COLORADO RE:
Implementation Plan for the SECTOR Initiative between the
Department of Human Services and the Colorado Department
of Labor and Employment
Enclosed for Board approval is a proposed Implementation Plan for the Sustainable
Manufacturing Project between the Department and under the Sectors Initiative funded by the
Colorado Department of Labor and Employment. The Planning Grant was presented at the
Board's March 23, 2009, Work Session.
This Implementation Plan requests $225,000.00 to be available over the next three (3) years to
implement the strategies identified from the SECTORS Planning Grant to address the needs
identified by employers in the Sustainable Manufacturing employment sector. Additionally, an
extension to the SECTORS Planning Grant is being requested to extend the planning process to
April 1, 2010, to allow for further exploration of employer needs and includes a request to extend
approximately $27,000.00 of Planning Grant funds to be used for the continuing efforts.
Employment Services will use the Implementation Grant to enter into partnership efforts with
Upstate Colorado Economic Development, the Adams County Workforce Region, Adams County
Economic Development, Brighton Economic Development, Aims Community College, Front
Range Community College, as well as other partners to implement strategies to assist in meeting
the identified employer's needs in the Sustainable Manufacturing Sector for skilled workers. The
emphasis for this initiative will be to continue to utilize Upstate Northern Colorado to implement
strategies identified from the planning phase. Efforts will continue to focus on the sustainable
manufacturing sector and implement strategies to meet the needs identified by employers to meet
their current and future needs for skills workers. Efforts to close the gaps for training needed will
be made with the educational partners in this initiative.
The period of performance will be approximately three (3) years ending June 30, 2012.
If you have any questions, give me a call at extension 6510.

SECTORS Initiative Implementation Plan Narrative
I. Problem Statement
In the global economy, the pursuit of energy and resource efficiency in manufacturing is no longer an
option or a desire — it is a requirement. As Colorado and the United States struggle in a market
crowded with lower -cost labor markets overseas and continued productivity enhancements throughout
the manufacturing sector, companies who survive and thrive are those whose processes optimize power,
materials and water. Recent attention to environmental sustainability raises the value of business and
manufacturing process improvements that Colorado firms are pursuing. Movement towards a more
sustainable manufacturing sector can address both business and environmental priorities, and will
underpin the competitiveness of Weld and Adams Counties.
The potential for the Weld/Adams Super Region to become an important center for Sustainable
Manufacturing is great. In recent Labor Market Information surveys conducted we see the
Weld/Adams county areas of Colorado growing in population by 27 and 50 percent respectively
http://Imigateway.coworkforce.com/lmigateway/default.asp). As the Denver area becomes more
crowded and more expensive for manufacturers to operate in, Weld and Adams counties represent an
attractive alternative that includes proximity to the Denver area's highly -educated workforce, an
existing base of sustainable manufacturers in the alternative energy, agriculture and advanced
manufacturing subsectors, proximity to critical shipping and distribution resources, and substantial land
available for industrial development. The region has already attracted a number of manufacturers who
both manufacture in a sustainable manner and produce components and products for the alternative
energy and energy efficiency markets. The recruitment and preparation of talent remains a key issue to
ensure the success of these firms as well as additional local, national and international sustainable
businesses that may relocate to or expand within Weld and Adams counties.
While the region is well -positioned to become a center for sustainable manufacturing, developing a
coherent yet flexible strategy to prepare the workforce remains a significant challenge. While the
region's education and training systems offer a number of learning opportunities important to
supporting manufacturers' skill needs, there is not currently a coordinated approach to meeting the
specific needs of sustainable manufacturers.
While many employers are implementing aspects of sustainable manufacturing, most do not pursue
sustainability according to rigorous standards or categories of work. Indeed, many manufacturers are
still struggling to understand how sustainability features can be incorporated into their operations and
must address those concerns prior to developing specific training and development plans. This initial
phase of the planning process has identified many avenues through which investment in skills
development and educational programming can advance sustainability strategies, but due to the ill-
defined and fragmented nature of how sustainability is pursued, specific priorities are not clear for who
needs training and of what kind. It is necessary to present employers with skill development options
and modes so that they may more deliberately define the type, depth and delivery of need as it emerges
and evolves.
In order to fulfill its promise as a center for sustainable manufacturing, a strategy is needed (1) to
continue to help employers specify and prioritize skill development needs, (2) to further develop the
existing education and training offerings so their value to sustainability is recognized and amplified, (3)
to increase the education and training offerings that support a number of specific roles and skills within
a sustainable manufacturing environment, and (4) raise the visibility of sustainable manufacturing and
offer tools and resources that will serve the human capital and other needs of regional sustainable
manufacturers, and create a culture of sustainability within the economy broadly.
The included strategic work plan will detail the purposed schedule for addressing these economic
development and educational concerns in support of Sustainable Manufacturing in Weld and Adams
Counties.
II. Industry and Super -Region of Focus
In recent years the state of Colorado has emerged as a leader in the renewable energy industry. This
industry emphasis is apparent in the Weld/Adams county super -region as the industry and its sub -
clusters gather here.
A Labor Market Information survey conducted in September of 2009 shows the overall population in
2007 for the entire state of Colorado was 4,861,515 while the populations for the Weld and Adams
counties are respectively 243,750 and 422,495 representing 13.7% of the state's total population - a
27.1% population increase between 1997 and 2007 for Adams County and 50.9% increase over the
same time period for Weld County. This data clearly illustrates the increase in human capital in the
area, and therefore the regional workforce (totaling 120,783 in the Weld County workforce and 221,638
for the Adams County workforce). To support the regional workforce development there is further
data (provided by both LMI and JobsEQ) identifying that the educational makeup of Weld and Adams
county residents is within national averages. Breaking down these numbers we see that nationally 84%
of the population High School diploma or higher; in Weld County this number is 84.9% and in Adams
County 80.2%. Furthermore the national average for residents holding a Bachelors degree or higher is
27% while these percentages are 21.6% for Weld County and 19.2% for Adams County.
There are several emerging industries in the Weld/Adams Super -Region which serve to position the
area as industry leaders for the sustainability movement. Specifically in Weld County the
manufacturing industry is the fastest growing sector within the county increasing 15% between 2007
and 2008 with a sub -industry wholesale trade increase of roughly 70% between 2007 and 2008. There
have been several international companies that have selected Weld County for new site locations,
specifically Vestas Blades (world leader in wind energy choosing Weld Co. as its new North American
headquarters), JBS Swift (world's largest beef processor) and Bach Composites (Danish supplier to
Vestas). The addition of these industries, complimented by the economic development of other
manufacturing and solar technology firms to the area (Leprino Foods, Abound Solar and Hexcel Inc.)
represent the creation of just under 4000 new jobs. In Adams Co. there are a number of emerging
industries that indicate an increasingly dynamic economy in the Weld/Adams Super -Region such as
food manufacturing, freight transportation, construction and the utilities industries all of which have
average wages of 40K and above. Each of these incumbent and emerging industries/companies would
benefit from the SECTORS initiative and its cause to establish sustainable practices.

III. Strategic Work Plan
The Strategic Work Plan involves four main components:
• Continuing to assess and specify Sustainable Manufacturing skills needs among employers in
Weld and Adams Counties;
• Creating and promoting a culture of sustainability among existing and potential manufacturing
firms, the current and potential workforce, education and training providers, and the broader
business support community;
• Creating and deploying new learning opportunities to address specific roles and skills
requirements within sustainable manufacturing environments; and
• Reframing and remarketing existing education and training opportunities to reflect their value to
the sustainable manufacturing community.
Objective #1: Prioritize key learner populations and sustainability skill areas
Activity: Create Model for prioritization and implementation of sustainability learning activities
To specify employment, staffing and training needs, the initiative will convene a pilot cohort of 30-40
manufacturers representative of the region's diverse employer base (by size, product, revenue, location
in the super -region) to review the skill development options developed in the initial implementation
stage, and to define, refine and prioritize the list of skills needs ripe for intervention and approaches to
training and development.
Activity: Develop a set of metrics through which pilot and subsequent employers will measure
the impact of skill development activities.
The Leadership Team will work with the employer cohort to create a set of metrics which will indicate
the impact of the skills development strategies once implemented. Some of the metrics may include
(but may not be limited to): impact of sustainability measures on revenue and expenses, employee
turnover, rate of internal employee promotion, energy savings, waste savings, etc.
Objective #2: Raise awareness of Sustainable Manufacturing and its importance to the Northern
Colorado economy among existing and new employers, educators, incumbent workers and job
seekers.
Activity: Development of the Sustainable Manufacturing Alliance
Through the pilot phase, the Leadership Team will identify resource and activity opportunities that will
raise the level of awareness around Sustainable Manufacturing and serve as building blocks for a
Community of Practice to support manufacturers who are moving towards sustainability. Development
of an Northern Colorado Sustainable Manufacturing Alliance will focus on serving the need to
highlight the intellectual capital in the region, build upon that knowledge in a collaborative setting and
ultimately creating an industry position of leadership in terms of sustainable manufacturing. A Project
Plan to build collaboration around issues of sustainable manufacturing and fill the current void in
thought leadership and technical assistance may include:
1. Creation and Convening of a Sustainable Manufacturing Alliance Steering Committee
3
(1) Create profile/responsibilities: important to identify who wears what hat to highlight
strengths for each committee member
(2) Identify/Recruit Industry Leaders (all levels): need to have input at all levels of service
within industry; gamut of involvement will serve to identify gaps in Alliance capacity from
the ground up
(3) Hire Staff: potentially one FTE to address administrative functions of Alliance plus
administrative support as appropriate
(4) Establish membership/Sponsorship Protocol: define criteria required for incumbent and new
members, what is the application/induction process
(5) Craft an Alliance Mission: identify mission statement to market forum to other companies,
will be used in web presence as well
(6) Review Mission: as the economy and the sustainable manufacturing community continue to
evolve there is a need to revise the Alliances' mission periodically;
2. Launch Organization: (continued efforts to promote area as industry leader and locus of activity
on sustainability)
(1) Formalize a Board of Directors: develop leadership to reflect regional Sustainable
Manufacturing stakeholders
(2) Execute a Formal Launch Event: kickoff event to commemorate beginning of Alliance and
highlight the region's commitment to Sustainable Manufacturing
(3) Establish a Web Presence: Promote Sustainable Manufacturing and the Alliance's leadership
position, and serve as a clearinghouse for information and resources
3. Post Launch Marketing/PR: generating effective informational tools for continued industry
engagement in overall goal; recruitment of new business development to the region. May
include:
(1) Annual Events/Awards: highlight sustainable manufacturing leadership in the super -region
(2) Create/Deploy Career Exploration Resources: Provide information to job -seekers and career
changers about the opportunities for skills workers and opportunities to address Sustainable
Manufacturing skills, Career Pathways, etc.
(3) Expand Web Presence/Social Networking: incorporation of Alliance group into Social
Media tools
(4) Economic Development Marketing: draw in new business, highlight commerce potential and
why the area is best positioned to support sustainable manufacturers.
4. Create and Deploy Employer Services
(1) Deliver Educational Seminars: address needs for other industry employers
(2) Develop a Waste -to -Profit network: create a venue through which firms can find buyers and
sellers of manufacturing scrap/waste products
(3) Provide and Promote Educational Resources: continued development of industry
best/promising practices for all levels of industry, available to manufacturing employees
(4) Recruitment Resources: promote public and private job and staffing services which consider
skills related to sustainability such as WIBs, colleges, training organizations and staffing
agencies.
(5) Consultant Resources: Links to services that assist manufacturers with developing and
implementing sustainability strategies — including but not limited to workforce strategies.
4
(6) Peer Mentoring Network: creating venues through which more mature Sustainable
Manufacturers can provide guidance and mentoring to emerging firms.
(7) Public Sector Linkage: Provide linkage to business development resources such as the Small
Business Administration, Public Workforce System, the Colorado Career Readiness
Certificate, the Manufacturing Extension Partnership, etc.
Objective #3: Ensure that regional Education and Training systems are able to provide
instruction that addresses the skills and competencies needed to help manufacturers move
towards sustainability.
Activity: enable education and training providers to create new program offerings addressing
Purchasing, Sales and Logistics.
(1) Convene Curriculum Committees to develop programs in key skill areas
(2) Convene Industry Advisory Committee to ensure proper employer input into the content of
the new instructional offerings
(3) Best Practice Research: Identify and leverage external curriculum models to consider
(several sustainability focused programs include those at Purdue Univ., Virginia Tech, Los
Angeles Trader and Technical College, San Jose State Univ., Univ. of Phoenix )
(4) Launch non-credit course(s): certificate program and informational seminars
(5) Launch credit course(s): work with educational entities and their committee to verify
accreditation of program
(6) Create Sustainability Team Training: builds capacity for each business internally to have
`Sustainable Experts' on staff
Activity: Reframing of Existing Offerings to draw attention to and emphasize skills related to
sustainable manufacturing:
(1) Create New Marketing Materials (Aims Community College, Front Range Community
College): need to create consistent programming materials and utilize uniformed semantics
for the sustainable manufacturing field
(2) Instructor Seminar: Create consistent standards for classroom interpretation of sustainability
in the industry and how those standards apply and should be emphasized within existing
manufacturing -related offerings
Activity: Augment Existing Offerings to be more deliberately supportive of sustainable
manufacturing skill development
(1) Add to MIST Program/FRCC Manufacturing Technology
a. Instrumentation/measurement
b. Lean and Six Sigma
(2) Add to Colorado State University
a. Sales/Marketing
b. Purchasing
Activity: Deliver Training to address
1. Certificate (which may include Manufacturing Technology, MIST, Energy Storage and Heat
Recover, HVAC, Mechatronics)
5
2. Seminar (which may include Sustainable Product Design, Life cycle Analysis, Sustainability
Team Training, Sustainability Marketing, Green Procurement, Lean, and Six Sigma)
3. Webinar (which may include Leadership/Strategy, Sales, Sustainable HR, Sustainability-related
Staff Development)
IV. Partner Roles and Responsibilities and MOU
(**Note- More defined role responsibilities will come from our modified and finalized strategic
implementation plan**)
The Leadership Team will continue to convene and further develop specific commitments and
Memorandum of Understanding amongst a broadened set of partners/stakeholders. Over the course of
the next phase of planning, the Leadership Team will specify partner roles and responsibilities, to
include:
Employers: Executive -Level representatives from private industry will provide guidance to the
partners, serve as spokespeople to the media and the general public, provide input in order to prioritize
key sustainability roles and sustainability skill -sets, serve as pilot sites for training and learning
activities, and measure progress according to the metrics established. Following the planning phase
these employers will contribute to the creation of the Alliance mission and guide its strategic and
practical development. Key employers who are committed to sustainability will serve as advisory
board members, and following the formal creation of the Alliance will be asked to serve as Steering
Committee members, serve as spokespeople for the Alliance, recruit new Alliance members, and
continue to provide input into development of new learning opportunities. As appropriate, employer
partners may serve as adjunct instructors for education and training programs delivered at the colleges,
via seminar and webinar.
To address the employer needs due to the lack of proper sustainable educational offerings in the region,
representatives from Aims and Front Range community colleges, Colorado State University, and the
two workforce boards will serve on the leadership team. These leaders will leverage resources from
their respective organizations to populate the content areas of the Alliance and contribute to the creation
and modification of education and training offerings as appropriate.
A large part of the marketing aspect for the Alliance will be a significant and strong partnership with
the local/regional economic development organizations. Ensuring that the proper information is
available to incumbent businesses and new business development coming to the area is critical in the
overall goal of establishing the Weld/Adams Super -Region as a sustainable manufacturing industry
leader.
The Colorado Alliance for Manufacturing Technology (CAMT) will also serve in a leadership capacity,
working to engage firms in the region to develop and participate in pilot training initiatives as well as
provide information and consulting resources.
V. Measurements and Outcomes
(**Note - Performance tracking indicators will be more clearly defined once our modified and final
strategic implementation work plan is completed**)
6
In the effort of tracking Alliance and industry progress certain benchmarks will need to be developed in
order to address effectiveness of processes in place. In the pilot phase, the leadership team will work
with the participating employers to define how success will be measured. Categories of measurement
may include:
• Business Measurements such as revenues, costs, tracking ability
• Efficiency Measurements such as energy usage, scrap rates, waste disposal, water usage
• Staffing Measurements such as retention rates, interview -to -hire ratio for new employees, rate
of internal advancement and/or wage increase, expansion of job descriptions, utilization of
tuition on efficiency -related education and training.
Once the Steering Committee has convened they will need to outline a rubric to measure the
implementations' success in terms of committee profile (are we working with the right stakeholders?),
mission (is this a concise and effective driving force behind the greater purpose of the Alliance?), PR
campaign (are we reaching the desired audience? How will that be determined?) and, industry
workforce employer/employee services (are they helpful/useful in terms of sustainability in
manufacturing? Periodic review of services will be needed to determine the level of (ineffectiveness).
The Alliance will track levels of membership generally and levels of participation in particular
initiatives. Determining these benchmarks will prove as the best check and balance for both the
committee members and targeted audience the Alliance looks to serve.
Educational offering implementation and subsequent measurements of those offerings will require
significant collaboration between the industry workforce and instructional staff. The first step in the
process will be to determine course objectives in relation to job position and sustainability objectives
and making sure there is a clear line of connection between the two. Setting a percentage benchmark
for program enrollment, completion and job retention provides a clear and concise manner in which
effectiveness of the sustainable curriculum can be measured.
