Implementation Planning
Talent Development
Our manufacturing workforce implementation plan seeks to align regional educational institutions with current and evolving industry needs, reduce skill gaps in our existing workforce, increase manufacturer job applications, and support a thriving economy that benefits communities and companies.
Investment Blueprint
It was critical to us to find the highest-leverage opportunities that move our region's economy forward in the coming decade. This investment blueprint highlights those strategies and points to concrete next steps. This report includes the estimated dollars needed to jumpstart each strategy. We recognize that these investments will come from multiple sources, including private investors as well as public funding at the federal, state, and local level. Read the full report to learn more.
How this Investment Blueprint can be used:
-
Align organizational strategic plans around the priority focus areas within the Blueprint
-
Utilize the Market Assessment and Data Book to inform organizational planning and funding decisions
-
Build multi-stakeholder collaboratives that focus on issue areas
-
Connect funding to do 'double duty' and extend to more clients/local community members

Reports
Stanislaus 2030 has been designed to incorporate both data and narrative. An extensive market assessment that combined national principles and data tools for inclusive regional economic strategies was developed by the Brookings Institution, with applied research and qualitative analyses of local circumstances. At the same time, Stanislaus 2030 worked with local community engagement firm Debrief to understand the goals residents have, the challenges they face in meeting those goals and their aspirations for the Stanislaus 2030 initiative and the future.

Market Assessment
The Market Assessment is a comprehensive quantitative and qualitative analysis of the region’s economic performance and competitive position. This assessment offers a common evidence base and considerations for diverse stakeholders to jointly make decisions on economic and workforce priorities, strategic responses, and how to implement them.
Data Book
The Data Book includes the rich, detailed data that informs the Market Assessment. Full of charts and data, this shows Stanislaus County's economic challenges and opportunities for the future, as well as performance in the Drivers of Competitiveness - Clusters, Talent, Innovation, Infrastructure and Governance.
Community Engagement
Understanding the lived experience of Stanislaus County residents is a critical component of this effort. Stanislaus 2030 community engagement partner Debrief is capturing resident voices to help inform the investment plans.

Governance Mapping and Findings
Whether regions can deliver on their ideas and ambitions depends on effective “governance”—the formulation and execution of collective action across institutional, jurisdictional, and sectoral boundaries. Explicitly assessing governance acknowledges that achieving desired economic development outcomes depends on action beyond the direct control or resources of economic developers.
