INTRODUCTIONData-driven industry and labor market informationLinks education programs and O*NET (knowledge, skills and abilities)Updated quarterly to reflect most current economic informationOpen source economic and workforce developmentSeeks to aid in developing strategies for implementation(any other information Ed?)

OVERVIEWgoalsIncrease the scopeof targeted industriesand occupations beyond the 2008 Milwaukee 7/Deloitte studyIdentify and characterize“in-demand” competenciesfor the SE Wisconsin and NE Illinois regionsExtend the workforce discussionto intensive matchmaking between firm needs and individual competenciesTie understanding of In-demand competenciesback to the education system

OVERVIEWgoalsEngage local leadershipin directing the research to best meet the region’s needsExplore the applications of workforce competencies, occupations, and industry changeProvide preliminary resultsand context to the discussion
