Local Labor Market Data Workbook: Your Strategic Pathway Design Tool
About
The Local Labor Market Workbook is more than a planning document—it’s a dynamic decision-making tool. By combining labor market analysis, employer insights, and pre-apprenticeship alignment, this fillable workbook helps programs create pathways that meet local workforce demand while setting participants up for long-term success.
Why Pair It with the Labor Market Data Webcast?
The "Using Labor Market Data to Design Career Pathways" webcast shows how to access reliable labor market trends and projections using the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Occupational Outlook Handbook and O*NET. When used in conjunction with the workbook, it transforms pathway planning into a data-driven strategy. Programs can review job growth, wage benchmarks, and training requirements, then directly apply those insights to each occupation they explore.By integrating these tools, programs move beyond guesswork to build pathways that are responsive, future-focused, and participant-centered, resulting in stronger employer partnerships, better-prepared youth, and pathways that truly reflect labor market realities.
