culinary arts and hospitality management. There already is a significant training <br />infrastructure supporting such training in Santa Ana and environs that furnishes a solid <br />base to build upon. Standard 3 and 4 suggest how this translates programmatically. <br />• Green /clean /environmental cluster. Santa Ana has a head start in its focus on waste <br />management and remediation internally and the large amount of growth regionally. <br />This cluster provides the second largest percentage of employment in the City now <br />(11 %). Regional research and development should lead to job creation over the span of <br />this strategic plan. <br />More important, almost all other industry clusters increasingly are endorsing green and <br />clean methods, from the generation of their electricity to the manufacture of their <br />products, to the management of their waste. Many industries in addition are employing <br />experts to manage their supply chains in an environmentally responsible way. It is a <br />large and miscellaneous area in which a variety of industries will contribute. <br />Skill Gaps Generated by the Key Clusters and Industries <br />Ultimately, cluster and industry development come down to the types of job openings they will <br />create. Here is a selected list, from EMSI, based on two to four digit NAICS codes, ranked by the <br />percentages of job openings generated 2011 -2012. Overall job growth for Orange County for <br />the period will be less than 2 %, but that is significantly higher than for Santa Ana, where the <br />growth is projected by EMSI to be essentially flat. <br />• 6% -4% growth: <br />Dental assistant, dental technicians, electrical maintenance and repair, heavy <br />equipment maintenance and repair, recording technicians; <br />Accountants and business managers, electricians, medical office workers, HVAC <br />engineers and technicians, physical therapists, surveying technicians, HAZMAT <br />workers, theater and recording arts practitioners; <br />• 3% growth: <br />Office ranagers, construction workers, taxation specialists, computer scientists, <br />information specialists, food service workers, diesel mechanics, estheticians. <br />• Outliers— airframe mechanics and technicians (21 %), aircraft power plant mechanics <br />and engineers (20 %), marine transportation technicians (20 %). <br />These lists show the percentage of job openings, but do not indicate whether those jobs are <br />new or replacement jobs. Nor do they indicate number of jobs. Hence and 20% growth in <br />aircraft mechanics may mean far fewer jobs than a 1% increase in hospitality in number of jobs. <br />22 <br />19F -27 <br />
