LABOR MARKET CREDENTIAL DATA DASHBOARD
LABOR MARKET CREDENTIAL DATA DASHBOARD
CONNECTING CREDENTIALS TO CAREERS
In order for students in Washington to make smart decisions about their future in STEM, they and their adult supporters need to know what jobs will be available in their own backyard, which jobs pay living and family-sustaining wages, and which credentials will help ensure that they are competitive for those jobs.
The Labor Market and Credential Data Dashboard does just this. By combining data focused on future job projections, wage ranges, and other labor-related statistics, all at the regional level, Washington students and families can know what careers are available to them, and what education is needed to achieve their career goals.
Washington STEM provides this data and dashboard at no cost because we believe this information is so critical for students to make smart choices about their future, there should be no barrier to accessing this kind of career and education planning information.
In order to create this data dashboard, we partnered with Washington Employment Security Department Labor Market and Economic Analysis Division (LMEA) to create a tool that reflects the current state of Washington’s economy/jobs/careers. This tool was made possible by the free sharing of job opening projections and detailed specifics on Washington apprenticeship pathways by LMEA. We’re grateful for their ongoing partnership.
