PSCDA January Program

January 10, 2008, 6:30 PM

Topic: How To Get Immensely Helpful Information Using O*NET and Other Labor Market Resources

Presenter: Jane Field, Labor Market Analyst

Location: Community Center, Mercer Island, WA (For directions, click here)

Take note of the acronyms: O*Net, SOC, and NAICS and add to these the
website Workforce Explorer. There's a new language coming to the fore, and
a new stream of labor market resources available for workforce
professionals.

Jane Field, labor market analyst and nationally recognized writer on labor
market information will answer your questions; explain this language, these
tools and how they compliment each other at the January meeting.

Jane has been the LMI Trainer with Labor Market and Economic Analysis,
Employment Security for the past decade. She has received a number of
national awards from such groups as the National Association of State
Workforce Agencies (NASWA) and the International Association of Workforce
Professionals (IAWP) for publications such as the Handbook for the Sidewalk
Economist, Jobs for the Sidewalk Economist, and Entry Points. She has been
featured on the U.S. DOL O*Net Knowledge website.

Jane holds two undergraduate degrees: one in Speech from the University of
Washington, and another in Political Economy from The Evergreen State
College, and a Masters degree in Education from California State University
at Los Angeles.

This meeting will be followed by an interactive discussion about this topic in the workplace.
