Are your Data Viz Skills Prepared for the 21st Century?

Are you interested in learning more about Power BI? Join the LMI Institute and instructor Cynthia Sundahl for a 4-session virtual training that takes attendees through the steps to create a report and share it on the web.
This course will provide participants with the skills necessary to take data from excel files and turn it into a finished, multi-page report ready to use internally or publish on the web. You will follow along as the instructor guides you through the process of creating a sample report. By the end of the course, you will know how to: import and format data, set up a data model, add visuals and filters, set up your page layout for PC and mobile view, and load your completed report to the Power Bi service and embed it into your organization’s website.
The course will focus on data and visualizations frequently used by workforce development and community service organizations. Regional and time series data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and Census Bureau will form the core of the data model. Visualizations (including maps, charts, and tables) will present summary level data that can be drilled down on for specific insights.

LMI Directors’ Townhall: Mandatory Employer Surveys
|
|
|
|
|
|
LMI leaders from 18 states gathered virtually August 30, 2022 to discuss their experience with mandatory employer surveys. States with mandatory surveys shared how they went about getting the mandate and how it allowed the LMI staff more time to analyze the data instead of serving as data collectors. In the discussion, the idea of requesting a variance waiver surfaced. There was really great discussion in the last minute of the townhall. To continue the confidential discussion, we encourage states to share in the LMI Forums online available to all member states. If you aren’t a member and would like access, please contact Jennie Allison (jallison@crec.net).

Join us in-person or virtually for the Future of Work conference and PMP Summit (free to state analysts!) for this provocative talk from Dr. Ned Hill., OSU Professor of Economic Development:
There are concerted efforts underway to strengthen American manufacturing and innovation to create better-paying jobs and to bolster the nation’s economic and national security. For instance, the recently passed chips and science bill aims to increase domestic manufacturing of semiconductors including allocating billions of dollars to company incentives and for programs aimed at research and development and workforce development. However, manufacturers still face significant labor and supply chain challenges along with navigating the many technological changes and trends within the industry, dubbed Industry 4.0. This session explores key manufacturing trends that will continue to impact the employment outlook within this industry for years to come.

Democratizing Our Data Round 2
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a reminder that the deadline for submitting a Letter of Intent for Round 2 of the Coleridge Initiative’s Democratizing our Data Challenge is on September 30, 2022.
The Challenge is designed to develop and scale innovative ideas for data products, projects, and services. Driven by agency needs, the Challenge supports proposals that seek to produce new and/or actionable information about employment outcomes and economic mobility associated with different transitions.
Their goal is to support collaboration of state agencies within and across state lines to transform the secure and safe use of data and evidence to inform policy.

Workforce Automation: Insights into Skills and Training Programs for Impacted Workers
|
|
|
|
|
|
House Report 116-450 included a provision for GAO to examine challenges and opportunities to provide training to workers at risk of losing their jobs to automation. GAO examined what available data indicate about which workers are at risk of automation and the skills needed for in-demand jobs; and what insights stakeholders offer for workforce programs to better serve displaced workers and those affected by automation.
