PLAN--Gap Analysis and Forecasting |
|
Strategic Area: Resource Information and Gap Analysis
Outcome
Statement: A
user friendly and accessible system that provides real time
information useful to employers, workers, and providers. Analysis
allows for decisions about resource allocation, program services
to be developed.
Objective:
Determine the requirements for the model.
Management & Oversight: WIB Executive Committee
Proponent: WIB Planning Committee

| Tasks |
Measurements |
- User
friendly initiatives
-
Updated annually· Complete inventory - city, county, private,
all funding sources (matrix helpful to all programs and individuals)
-
Identify duplication of services and disconnections between
service/agency requirements for access
-
Identify the elements that are essential for workers to be
able to go to work
-
The system is accessible to everyone: employers/employees
(database needs to be able to sort by many categories)
- Applies
to mainstream workers/employers as well as spec ($ funding
- pay)
-
Provides analysis for employers concerning how incumbent workers
make decisions about recruitment i.e., what kinds of resources
attract workers
-
Analysis that provides small business (clusters) with ways
to leverage resources
- Analysis
has to be able to link with forecasting model
- One
essential piece is to be able to provide analysis of training
needs/requirements/resources (child care, information about
transportation and housing)
-
Model that can "take things out to put things in"
-
Model that includes consistent points of contact
-
Model whose development and data elements are designed through
a neutral process - one in which the designer has no vested
interest in the analysis outcome.

Area: Resource Information and Gap Analysis
Outcome
Statement: A
user friendly and accessible system that provides real time
information useful to employers, workers, and providers. Analysis
allows for decisions about resource allocation, program services
to be developed.
Objective:
Determine the process for meeting the requirements. |
| Tasks |
Measurements |
-
What is the best way to shop the requirements document?
- Contractors'
Model development (and elements) /software, data input, data
gathering (low tech ways to accomplish)
- Analysis
in terms of cost or Cost Analysis. (Does anything exist now?)
How much will each piece cost? What will drive the train?

Strategic Area: Forecasting Model
Outcome
Statement: Forecasting
models that provide the system with the ability to forecast
near future needs and eliminate the lag time between product
development and delivery.
Objective:
Develop a model that has short term (6 month) forecastingDetermine
the requirements for the model.
Management & Oversight: WIB Executive Committee
Proponent: WIB Planning Committee
|
| Tasks |
Measurements |
-
Updated data continuously - expandable model
-
Results are web-based
-
Determine starting point and database w/maximum input· Phased
implementation over 3 years
-
Also focus on short-term requirements (year 1)
-
Must have high visibility to get data
-
Forecasting for all levels of training, education. Forecast
needs of new and continuing industries
-
Basic initial objective
-
Identify basic skill set required in all areas
-
Use national data as start point & determine local
-
Don't worry about current status of work force - focus on
needs
-
Examine salaries for the identified jobs; also look at what
wages are required to fill jobs
-
Bring together known shortages and couple with unknown needs
- Doesn't
cannibalize system to fund
-
Model has to forecast for short-term (6 mo to 3 yrs) - business
changes rapidly
- Want
to know skill sets not job titles - automated individual/skills,
set matching & employer
-
Determine effectiveness of salary in retention
- Easy
to use/user-friendly
|
|
| Objective:
Fund "something" that meets the requirements. |
| Tasks |
Measurements |
-
Examine existing models and select
-
Sell use of model so model can be self-sustaining
-
Bring in experts & evaluate potential products
-
Implementation/roll-out plan
-
Examine if there are cost savings
-
Develop sales pitch to state-legislative agenda item
-
Examine the costs both start-up and ongoing
-
Build community support - shop to TNI, etc.
