instructionaldesign which (a) describes a well-defined set of skills, (b) provides models which demonstratethe effectives of these skills, (c) opportunities to practice skills, and (d) provides feedback totrainees as they practice [33]. Error management training (EMT) recognizes that errors areinevitable, and that they provide useful feedback while learning [32]. EMT does not seek tominimize errors such as more procedural approaches. Providing a problem statement andallowing the trainees to explore the problem with structured guidance will allow trainees toreflect on and manage errors. The trainers can then provide error management instruction tofacilitate deeper learning which will contribute to the transfer of the knowledge to the workenvironment [18], [32

A comprehensive 2014 Talent Demand Study shows that many of the region’s technical and high-wage jobs are being filled by highly-educated workers moving in from out-of-state. The study also identified key gaps in the region’s education system (high school through higher education) that need to be filled in order for local students to be prepared for careers in the highest demand occupations. c.
