Linked UI and Workforce Data: Your Hidden Super Power
Description
Superpowers are cool because they override principles of math and science. Did you know that using linked data makes one plus one equal three? At this session, you’ll hear how Illinois is linking information to provide customers more insights on college outcomes. New Jersey is using linked longitudinal data to create information about student achievements, postsecondary outcomes, and workforce success. And, on a broader scale, researchers and policymakers in Kalamazoo, Michigan, are combining data to both understand community-level problems and develop targeted solutions with measurable outcomes. Please bring your own examples of how linking UI wage record data, administrative data, and other data can make you (and your agency) a hero!
