Workforce Development
WorkForce Development Boards serve the general public who are (re)-entering the workforce, seeking new jobs, struggling with a recent layoff or considering re-training. Job seekers and career changers crave detailed information about their available options. While O*NET occupational information is very popular, it only goes just "so far" with its 974 occupational definitions. DOT-based detail about 12,761 occupations satisfies that craving to help job seekers and career changers more quickly identify fresh job goals for job search or retraining. Job Seeker functions in OASYS and OccuBrowse+ products focus on most-requested data. Local long-term outlook facilitates better planning for future and for training decisions.
