Note: To address the skills gap in the clinical and medical laboratory technology occupational group, Monroe Community College instituted a clinical laboratory technology program in 2011. Completions from this new program will be reflected in future analyses.

** This suggests that in this occupational group, about 79.5 % of CLT-MLT jobs may go unfilled each year in the region due to an insufficient number of graduates produced locally.

10-year aging out projection: 21.2 % are approaching retirement age

* The 18 annual regional completions represent a supply of 20.5 % new CLT-MLT workers produced locally against an estimated annual demand of 88 openings.
