Learn how library staff can help patrons improve their job search strategies using the Job Center of Wisconsin Labor Market Indicator (LMI) tools.
Participants will see where they can view detailed information on jobs by title, including the number of job openings in each county, how many other candidates have the skills required, the wage by county, and the sources of training and education for each job title.
The LMI tools can help job seekers, business owners, and municipalities learn how to view data on the economic outlook and special issues for each of Wisconsin’s counties, lists of the fastest growing jobs in Wisconsin, and details on which jobs pay more than the state average wage and are projected to have the most openings. The LMI tools also provide broad-based data on employment and unemployment, including the short and long term projected job and industry growth statewide, maps of county unemployment, and a state graph of the unemployment rate over time.
Maura Kirkham of the Department of Workforce Development will be presenting two identical webinars.
Here are the registration links:
- February 10 from 2 - 3 p.m Registration Form Session 1
- February 12 from 10 - 11 a.m. Registration Form Session 2
The sessions are open to library staff and staff of LAWDS partners.
After the sessions, the recordings and slide deck will be posted on the LAWDS website.
Public libraries or library systems, or LAWDS partners may choose to share them on their own websites.
Thanks to Jean Anderson and the South Central Library System for their help delivering these workforce development learning opportunities.
