Attachment A Future economic growth and prosperity will require deeper and mo skills from the workforce and increased innovation from research entrepreneurs, and businesses. It is estimated that Minnesota jobs requiring post secondary education will grow by nearly 8% from 2008 to 201 requiring not more than a high school diploma will grow by only same period. By 2018, 70% of Minnesota jobs will require post se education. We are not there yet in terms of numbers of jobs needing post-se 2014). Census and recent MN Office of Higher Education data sho Minnesota jobs still require a high school diploma despite the high degree of education attainment (39.5% in Ramsey County, see chapter 2). In concert with that, 54 percent of the interviewed businesses require a high diploma for the majority o So what should Roseville do? There were several suggestions by More panelists suggested developing relationships with technical colleges but there were also strong suggestions for the community to encourage its school dis with local business. A. Technical Colleges. There is no hometown tech. college for Roseville so this route may be bewildering.
