City College submitted the appropriate LMI from the COE. There is a supply gap (2,201 annual job openings) and entry-level wages average $33.02 per hour. The colleges should note that employers require a minimum of a bachelor’s degree for these occupations and a large number of institutions provide training for them. Based on available LMI, the COE report supports the development of a new program.
