Kentucky Future Skills Report

KYSTATS met all three focus areas though creating High Impact Products and Services will be the emphasis. Their Future Skills Report utilizes LMI data to create future job demand outcomes specific to the local areas in Kentucky. They were able to provide context of current employment outcomes as well as linking their longitudinal data system to show the credentials earned that could help fill these jobs and show potential shortage areas. KYSTATS was able to provide an interactive visualization that encompasses complex data in an easy-to-use tool for the local workforce area development boards, career centers, postsecondary institutions, high school guidance counselors, parents, and students across Kentucky. The broad range of audiences coupled with the statewide initiatives that use this tool have allowed all involved to make better data-informed decisions.
