Using Labor Market and Skills Information for Effective Sector Strategies (Part 2 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 two of a two-part series on using labor market information (LMI) and skills information to inform effective sector strategies. In the first webinar, we defined the concept of sector; provided an overview of the concepts of industry and occupation and explained how government data sources identify and classify these concepts; and examined how to find quantitative labor market information. In this second webinar, we will explore qualitative data on skills and competencies for occupations and industries and find related training opportunities. The webinar will help you use O*NET information to identify work activities and sector competency models that can be customized to address the specific needs of local employers in a sector. Identifying skill needs helps to identify relevant training and can point to where you may need to update curriculum or work-based learning.
