Labor Market Assessments: An Essential Data Element for Program Development and Evaluation.
Friedel, Janice N.
The Eastern Iowa Community College District (EICCD) has conducted labor market assessments in 17 occupations related to its programs. These assessments are an integral component of the EICCD program evaluation process. These assessments provide valuable information in the specific occupational areas regarding (1) characteristics of the local businesses and industries; (2) current and projected local employment needs in the occupational area; (3) required entry-level competencies of new employees; (4) continuing education needs of current employees; and (5) emerging trends in the specific occupational area. The surveys are designed for replication by other educational institutions; with minimal modification, questions unique to local needs and interests can be accommodated. Copies of the assessments for the following occupational/program areas are included in this package: drafting; sales; computer-related occupations; health-related occupations; custodial and building maintenance; radiologic technology; interior design; automotive technology; electronics; heating, ventilation, and air conditioning; auto body repair; diesel technology; farm management; feed and fertilizer marketing; secretarial/clerical; accounting; and printing.
