City of St. Cloud Presentation – Jennifer Erickson, Business Development Director of the City of St. Cloud 

T. Biery introduced Jennifer Erickson – Jennifer stated her goal for today was to give us some background and a brief overview of trends and opportunities identified, as well as information on the workforce and training, and the plan of how to use the information that was gathered from this point forward. 

The City received a Federal Economic Development Administrative (EDA) grant in October of 2018 to help with the economic development recovery due to the Electrolux closure. This grant was to help the city prepare for this loss of tax base, and the loss and closure of a large cluster.  One piece of this was to do some target industry and workforce skills analysis.  Research on Investment (ROI) was the consulting company hired to conduct this analysis.  This analysis was built on a regional approach including economic development folks from Stearns County, Benton County, Sherburne County and the Greater St Cloud Development Corp. 

Goals of project – We know what we have industry based but we wanted to look at traded sectors as well as local business to get outside input. We also wanted to look at what we have as far as workforce assets, transferable skills and educational assets. We wanted to identify trends and future opportunities Our Methodology was both Quantitative and Qualitative.  Quantitatively we would be analyzing data from the industry and innovation as well as the workforce and training. Qualitatively we would hold meetings with focus groups and conduct in‐depth interviews.  The final report will consist of 4 documents, those being:  Industry and Innovative Profile, Workforce and Training Gaps Profile, Strategic Recommendations Report and an Executive Summary.  Jennifer handed out copies of the reports to all present members but stated some minor tweaks may be made at a later date.  

Trends & Opportunities – We wanted to see how the region can best leverage the assets that we have in respect to the opportunities we have. In order to do this, we needed to look at what the National Growth Drivers were. National Growth Drivers show construction, manufacturing, wholesale trade as well as a few others contributing to the GDP growth. Within MN the biggest hiring trends have been seen in medical devices, general purpose machinery and automotive and aerospace. Unique MN niche clusters consist of sensors, semiconductors and robotics, as well as HVAC and packaging.  

Technology trends – What are the overall technology trends and where are things headed?  Currently they are in autonomous things (robotics, self‐driving trucks, drones, etc.), internet of things (from connectivity infrastructure to edge computing and AI analysis), additive manufacturing or 3D printing, Blockchain – not just for the finance sector, VR/AR technologies and smart spaces. 

St. Cloud opportunities – strongest overlap with : o Machinery, fabricated metal products 

Supply chain for transportation and medical sector o Adoption of automation/robotics o Supporting Warehousing, Distribution and Construction with Technology o Healthcare and medical sector

o Food and packaging based on the Minnesota agricultural strengths of the region   

Workforce Training Profile – When ROI started to do this research, they looked at where St. Cloud workers are coming from and where they are going. ROI largely looked at Stearns, Benton and Morrison Counties in conducting this research. They also looked at what the challenges are and what the demand occupations are, as well as where are the transferable skills and what are the fields that offer a decent wage that they could transfer to.  They also looked at the commuter pattern to see if we can help retain those jobs within the city.  Jennifer stated there are about 8,000 people commuting to Wright County for jobs paying more than $40k.  The question is – can St Cloud provide jobs for them?   

J. Goligowski asked about the 8,000 going to Wright County or if any of them are going to the metro area.  Jennifer stated that they do not know the type of industry they are going to but thought that many are going to Wright, Sherburne or Hennepin counties.   

Post‐secondary education – Looking at opportunities in: o  Large healthcare and business management programs, certificates in healthcare, 

welding and CNC o Unique programs in Information Assurance, strong Engineering school o Some smaller outputs in niche programs such as automation and 

instrumentation technology o Unique Assets such as ISELF, Information Assurance Center of Excellence, and 

new collaborative NSF grant on Automation.  

Primary Target Markets best fit opportunities include: o Precision Parts and Machining 

Contract manufacturing for precision manufactured products   Advanced machining technology 

o Automation and IoT  Customized Automation Solutions  Automated Material Handling and Warehousing  Industrial Optics 

Secondary Target niche opportunities: o Population and Rural Health Technologies o Virtual Training o Information and Network Assurance o Niche Food Processing & Packaging 

Training Gap educational needs identified: o Increased output in key areas 

Electro‐mechanical engineering skills  Maintenance and repair training, including predictive technologies  Computer and information sciences 

o Alternative educational offerings  Technical but also applied and soft skills  Flexible training options

HQ BRE efforts – tailored pitchers  Marketing efforts  New business attraction  Talent attraction 

 Business Items/Updates:  

November 1, 2019 – October 31, 2024 Lease with Minnesota State/SCTCC – T. Biery stated we are ready to sign the 5 year lease. This lease does not include a CAM or any other additional charges. This is the full package rate. We worked to get some improvements ‐ some we included in the lease and some we did not. This lease includes the space we have today. T. Bohnen asked if this included parking. Tammy stated that it is in the lease and that Career Solutions does pay the parking for its employees as long as it’s within budget. The new contract includes a 1% increase to the sq. footage cost per year over the 5‐year term. 

 JPB Motion: J. Mergen made a motion to approve the modified agenda. Seconded by: S. Heinen. Motion carried.   LWDB Motion: J. Goligowski made a motion to approve the modified agenda. Seconded by: L. Schultz.  Motion carried.   

October 1, 2019‐September 30, 2021 Pre‐Employment Transitions (Pre‐ETS) Fee‐for‐Service Contract with DEED – T. Biery stated two years ago we applied for Pre‐ETS grant that was administered through VRS.  As they implemented it, they found they cannot do it the same way. It is now a fee‐for‐service contract.  This is reversed and harder to budget as we do not know how many referrals we are going to get. The Pre‐ETS grant serves youth with 1‐2 disabilities that are generally on the VRS wait list. Those with 3 or more disabilities are more likely to receive services from VRS.  Therefore, this is our opportunity to help fill the gap and help those that are higher functioning, but could use additional services. Tammy stated this went very well for the first two years.  We actually exceeded the number of students we said we were going to serve. So in signing, we are approving that the development director sign this.  I. Merten has already signed

the contract due to the timeline of October 1, 2019. DEED did not give us enough time to sign the contract as it was not received until a few days ago.   

B. Bultema asked how many people had received services through this contract.  I. Merten stated about 150 and T. Biery stated that the original goal was 100.   

 JPB Motion: B. Bultema made a motion to approve the Pre‐ETS Fee‐for‐Service Contract to be signed by the Development Director. Seconded by: S. Heinen. Motion carried.   LWDB Motion: L. Engel made a motion to approve the Pre‐ETS Fee‐for‐Service Contract to be signed by the Development Director. Seconded by: M. Sininger.  Motion carried.   

State Fiscal Year 2020‐2021 Learn & Earn Grant – T. Biery stated that the Learn and Earn grant is the work we have done with youth that have been with Coleman. As they age out of high school.  These students have been in the country 1‐5 years and have not been here long enough to receive their diploma.  At the age of 21 they age out of high school so in order to keep these students engaged they work at Coleman for 4 hours per day and train for 4 hours a day. Their training materials are Coleman’s HR manuals and the reading materials is applicable to the work.  This has been a very successful program for us.  The program was funded through ABE the first year and ABE funds will pay for it going forward. We would like to expand this opportunity to other companies.  Ileana wrote the Support Services Grant and asked for $90,000 and we received $45,000. There was a very small pool of money and a large amount of competitive grants/applicants. We were very fortunate to be awarded the competitive grant.

JPB/LWDB– 11.14.19 Attachment 3.E.

Agenda Cover Sheet: Credit Card Late Fees

Agenda Items:

Career Solutions has two credit card accounts through Cardmember Services. One card is through Elan/Stearns Bank and the other is with Falcon National Bank. The payments for September on both cards were submitted past the deadline. Therefore, the agency received a late fee charge of $39.00 per card. Per policy, Career Solutions is asking the board for approval to pay the late fee out of the unrestricted funds. This was due to human error. Processes have been put in place to avoid this issue happening again in the future.

Fiscal Summary: Late fees of $39.00 per credit card. These funds would come out of the unrestricted funds with board approval.

The PI platform can be used to:

The PI Behavioral Assessment is an untimed, free‐choice, stimulus‐response tool that measures a person’s motivating drives and needs. For more than 60 years, thousands of businesses around the globe have used our EFPA‐certified behavioral assessment to understand what makes their employees and candidates tick. 

Use the PI Behavioral Assessment to hire candidates who are hardwired to be a great fit, to design teams that perform like magic, and to manage employees in a way that pushes them to perform at the top of their game. 

Assessment takers get two lists of adjectives. Using the first list, we ask them to select the 

words that describe the way others expect them to act. Using the second list, we ask them to 

select the words that describe them in their own opinion. 

Each adjective is associated with one of the four key factors that determine workplace 

behavior: dominance, extraversion, patience, and formality. 

After people complete the assessment, we assign them a Reference Profile—a snapshot of the 

way they think and work. 

Collect people data 

Hire top talent 

Build self‐awareness and boost interpersonal relationships 

Develop employees and managers 

Ensure senior leaders agree on business strategy 

Map leadership abilities of the executive team to identify any gaps 

Boost engagement  

Set the behavioral and cognitive requirements for jobs 

Send pre‐employment assessments to candidate 

See which candidates are a behavioral and cognitive match 

Generate interview questions to probe into candidates’ behavioral fit 

Onboard new employees according to their behavioral preferences 

Build your self‐awareness 

Discover individuals’ behavioral drives and needs 

Compare two people to understand how they’ll work together 

Coach and develop employees 

Evaluate how well you’re motivating your team
