FEBRUARY | STATE OF THE DATA

Understanding and Using Labor Market Data

What can Colorado's workforce data tell us about employment outcomes and opportunities?



Explore the data and systems that help us understand wage and employment outcomes across Colorado. This session will examine how labor market information can be translated into meaningful insights to better understand workforce outcomes and inform decisions about education and career pathways.

MARCH | RECOGNIZING SKILLS, EXPANDING OPPORTUNITY

How is Colorado working to better recognize, translate, and connect skills to employment opportunities?

Talent takes many forms, but traditional hiring and credentialing practices don't always recognize the full range of skills and experiences people bring to the workforce.


Join us to explore how Colorado is advancing skills-first approaches, recognizing skills developed through alternative routes, and using Credit for Prior Learning to open new pathways to employment.


Hear perspectives from education, workforce, and industry partners on the opportunities and challenges of connecting talent to meaningful careers.

MAY  |  BUILDING THE CONNECTED SUPPORTS

What does it take to create connected systems that provide holistic support for opportunity seekers?

Navigating education, training, and employment pathways often requires more than access to programs. Opportunity seekers may also need coordinated support to overcome barriers and achieve their goals.


Explore how Colorado's state and regional partners are working to build more connected systems of support. Through diverse perspectives and examples from communities across the state, we'll examine promising practices for improving access to wraparound services and strengthening collaboration.
