The New York City Workforce Development System helps hundreds of thousands of people each year in their career journeys. Come learn about a multi-year initiative to standardize, centralize, and analyze data from dozens of NYC programs.
The Mayor’s Office for Economic Opportunity (NYC Opportunity) helps the City apply evidence and innovation to reduce poverty and increase equity. Within NYC Opportunity, the data and product teams work with multiple city agencies to integrate data on workforce programs. The Workforce Data Portal is a product of this integrated data system that visualizes data from NYC-funded workforce programs to provide policymakers, practitioners, and advocates a more complete picture of workforce development activities funded by the City of New York. The project is designed to overcome information silos using modernized technology and coordinate agency collaboration.
This session will include an overview of the project, a demo of the Workforce Data Portal, a summary of user research, examples of analysis, and an opportunity for participants to express ideas on various aspects of the project.
