Labor Market Information Analysis Tool for Goodwill Industries International
- This RFP was uploaded by the owner.
Goodwill Industries has helped people go to work since 1902. Goodwill trains people for careers in fields such as hospitality, technology and health care. Through its network of 165 member Goodwill organizations, it provides employment, job training and other community-based programs for people with disabilities, those who lack education or job experience, and others facing challenges to finding employment.
As we continue to emerge from the global recession, employment opportunities are changing in demand and scope and are often highly competitive. These factors have raised the bar for workforce development providers to respond to the skill demands of employers and the training needs of persons served. In an effort to answer the demand for skilled workers, educators and workforce development agencies such as Goodwill must demonstrate the ability to identify labor market trends and trajectories using both historical and real time data.
To further strengthen Goodwill's capacity to understand the communities we serve, Goodwill Industries International, Inc. (GII) procured a web-based labor market analysis platform in 2012 to support its members in analyzing the economic context in which services are offered. A web-based labor market information (LMI) analysis platform that can provide an intimate understanding of local industry, specific occupational requirements, and individual business hiring trends is the most efficient and effective methodology to enable member Goodwills to gain access to this information.
GII and its members have garnered important insights into the value and use of both traditional and real-time labor market information since 2012. Additionally, LMI tools and services have evolved and changed over the past three years as market demands change. To leverage GII's deeper understanding of value and new market offerings, GII is re-procuring this service.
