Policy Statement In an effort to assist Employlndy staff in determining how to best and most effectively invest resources to develop and align industry sector and career pathway needs of Marion County and the region, Employlndy shall do the following: 1. Conduct workforce research and labor market analysis that identifies gaps in workforce skills and availability in key wealth driving sectors. 2. Engage employers in the key wealth driving sectors, as well as education providers, to fill current demand with prepared talent, identify changes in skills needed for career success, develop opportunities for work-based learning and current employee skill enhancement, and vet labor market analysis. 3. Investigate proven & promising practices that could be applied to accelerate talent development in key occupations that are in demand with limited available talent, or increase the skills and education of current employees for critical occupations. 4. Establish a "Where the Jobs Are" list identifying occupations that are in-demand and drive residents toward good career and income generation opportunities. Employlndy will use workforce research and labor market analysis, as well as anecdotal evidence gathered by the Business Partnerships team, to guide strategic investments. Employlndy's strategic investments will proportionally mirror the demand in our key wealth driving sectors as illustrated by the data. Some opportunities for Employlndy to use the data include, but are not limited to, the following: Identify focus areas for training investment and coordinate with education providers as appropriate; Supply the Business Partnerships team the opportunity to compare the data with anecdotal evidence obtained through relationships with regional employers to better inform recruitment practices; Offer crucial guidance for the Indianapolis workforce system and its clients; Better inform focal points for funds development strategies; and Disseminate as resource information and technical assistance for local, regional and state planning activities. Establishing the Where the Jobs Are List Employlndy will also utilize data to derive the "Where the Jobs Are" list which describes employment demand for Marion County and Indianapolis Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). Occupations on the list will have demonstrated demand and alignment within key wealth driving sectors in the Indianapolis MSA and offer career opportunities to residents. Occupations on the list that may not directly align to a key wealth driving sector shall be at the discretion of Employlndy's President and CEO. Employlndy's President and CEO shall have final decision-making authority regarding modifications to, approval of and publication of the "Where the Jobs Are" list. A combination of the following criteria will be used to identify the occupations within the "Where the Jobs Are" list. Page 2 of 3
