Add to Calendar 10:00 AM 7/15/202611:30 AM America/Chicago Using Data & Outcomes to Drive Workforce Development Decisions

Join the Workforce Wednesday Webinar featuring presenter Eric Nordstrum.

Effective workforce development depends on intentional, data-driven decision-making that aligns investments with labor market demand, improves participant outcomes, and advances equity. This workshop will equip workforce leaders and partners with practical strategies for identifying key performance metrics, collecting and analyzing meaningful data, and using insights to improve programs continuously.

Participants will explore how to define clear, measurable outcomes (such as employment, retention, earnings, completion, and equity indicators), integrate multiple data sources (labor market information, participant demographics, and stakeholder feedback), and interpret labor market trends to align programming with high-growth industries. The workshop also emphasizes program evaluation, benchmarking, and the use of technology and analytics tools to translate data into actionable insights.

You'll get a clear framework for using data to guide decisions, strengthen accountability, improve outcomes for job seekers and employers, and keep workforce programs responsive to changing community and industry needs.

Join the Workforce Wednesday Webinar featuring presenter Sarah Taylor.

Bridge & ICAPS classes should never exist simply because there’s a general demand and a box to tick. Without intentional design and strong employer partnerships, students risk falling into the abyss of applicant pools, being qualified yet disconnected from real opportunities. This session showcases how one program reimagines bridge classes as the first step in a comprehensive pipeline that leads to ICAPS and ultimately to sustainable employment. Through multimodal career training, personalized career navigation, and dedicated success coach support, learners receive guidance at every stage of their journey. A robust workforce development strategy ensures employers are actively engaged from classroom to career, creating a model that meets students where they are and equips them for long-term success.
