Are you using the Almanac? We're seeking user case studies.
The Workforce Almanac is a first-of-its-kind initiative that aims to help us move away from a siloed conception of workforce development training provision and towards a new, integrated idea of the sector that puts the worker front and center.
We have mapped over 20,000 providers of workforce training, which we have defined as short-term (lasting less than two years), post-high school training opportunities in which learners gain work-relevant skills to help them find a job.
Using our data portal, you can see how these workforce training providers are spread geographically across the US, and view their names, addresses, and types. Find the Data Portal at https://workforcealmanac.com/.
