Workforce Needs Assessment

The following Workforce Needs Assessment report and presentation present findings on the analysis of the energy, construction, and utilities industry cluster. The resources provide overviews of the cluster, industry trends and economic impact, as well as overviews of the top occupations in demand in the cluster requiring post-secondary education or training, along with projected occupational demand, institutions providing related education and training, and possible workforce gaps.

Valley Vision and partners are working across the region to address the key findings from these assessments as part of Developing a Ready Workforce.
