This study, for SE WIsconsin, explores how to develop a new approach to stimulate innovation between education and employers. Our approach focuses on identifying growth occupations and characterizing them in terms of 15 key Knowledge, Skills and Abilities. The work is both experimental and promising.

1. Regional Workforce Alliance: Competencies

2. INTRODUCTION Data-driven industry and labor market information Links education programs and O*NET (knowledge, skills and abilities) Updated quarterly to reflect most current economic information Open source economic and workforce development Seeks to aid in developing strategies for implementation (any other information Ed?)

3. OVERVIEW goals Increase the scopeof targeted industriesand occupations beyond the 2008 Milwaukee 7/Deloitte study Identify and characterize“in-demand” competenciesfor the SE Wisconsin and NE Illinois regions Extend the workforce discussionto intensive matchmaking between firm needs and individual competencies Tie understanding of In-demand competenciesback to the education system

4. OVERVIEW goals Engage local leadershipin directing the research to best meet the region’s needs Explore the applications of workforce competencies, occupations, and industry change Provide preliminary resultsand context to the discussion
