Using Labor Market and Skills Information for Effective Sector Strategies (Part 1 of 2)
About
When asked to provide workforce development for a specific sector, how do you figure out what that means? Since individuals typically prepare for work in occupations (not sectors), how do you identify relevant occupations and determine which work activities within an occupation require education and training?

This webinar is part one of a two-part series on using labor market information (LMI) and occupational skills and sector competency models to inform decision-making, policy, and program improvement. In this webinar, we will define the concepts of sector, industry, and occupation and explain how to identify key occupations using LMI. Once you identify an occupation, you can use LMI to further determine current employment and wages, worker demographics, and typical education, training, and experience levels required, among other things. In addition, Part 2 of this series will help you use industry sector competency models, O*NET information to identify work activities that require education and training across occupations, and other tools from the educational and workforce systems to identify existing levels of related training.
