Using Labor Market Forecasting for Vocational Education Planning.
Showalter, John
Training state vocational education staff to generate and utilize labor market data was the purpose of this project. The objectives were to develop the capability to generate and integrate into a management information system labor market supply and demand data compatible with vocational education taxonomies; to train selected staff to perform the data generation and integration function; to involve all staff in identifying content and reporting format for management information data; and to train all staff in the effective use of the management information system (MIS). An initial training conference was held with state supervisors to identify MIS needs. Then labor market data was developed for each vocational education planning district in the state and a guide was produced for use in local and state planning. Other meetings with local education agency planners were later held to distribute the labor market forecasts and train them in the use of MIS data in local planning. Included in this final report are the descriptions of the methodology used to develop the final product and materials used in the training conferences, an evaluation proposal, and the interim results.
