| Abstract: | CAEL's Bridging The Talent Gap (BTTG) Employee Survey is a nationally proven powerful tool for employers who want to support the career and education aspirations of their workers. The results help employers, employees, learning providers and community stakeholders identify interest in education and training, opportunities for regional partnership, and gaps in employee knowledge of existing training programs. In fall 2020, One Acadiana, an economic development organization in South Louisiana, sponsored a BTTG Employee Survey at MacLaff, Inc. Key findings from this case study include: (1) Most respondents plan on completing a credential; (2) There are significant discrepancies between employees' understanding of education benefits and the actual education benefits available; and (3) One-third of respondents are potential Comebackers -- or adult learners who aspire to pursue an education credential to advance their economic mobility. |
