This comprehensive report released in July 2008 was prepared by NGC Communications and is a result of a group of North Carolina technology leaders meeting to discuss “next steps” from findings in the UNC Tomorrow Campaign and to engage and advocate the critical need for more STEM graduates.   The report examines two technology-based growth sectors in North Carolina to better understand each industry’s specific workforce needs.  The key growth sectors identified by the leadership were the Engineering & Computing Science Services sector and the Defense, Intelligence & Security sector.  Five focus groups were held with more than 100 of North Carolina’s leading advocates on future workforce and STEM education needs with critical dialog about past, present and future scenarios.   The study found that the central theme of the two industry sectors was the demand for accelerated change, a theme verified in each of the focus group meetings by business leaders whom work in a globally competitive marketplace with a constant and keen eye on the competition, trends and workforce pipeline.
