New Dashboard Designed To Help Job Seekers and Employers

As part of his ongoing focus on education and workforce development, Governor Mark Gordon has launched a new dashboard that provides tools for job seekers, businesses and educators. 

The dashboard, called BOOTS (Business occupational outlook tool sets), creates the ability to connect individuals to local education and job opportunities. 

The information and live data available is intended to help Wyoming businesses and workers address growing workforce challenges and will provide users a greater understanding of what jobs are available in Wyoming. 

Such examples include pathways through education to be able to qualify for in-demand jobs, the value of education and training, labor supply and demand, as well as growth potential for Wyoming industries both regionally and statewide. 

The tools are intended to support the goals of the state, and are a piece of the solution to addressing the challenges that Wyoming faces related to post-secondary attainment and workforce. 

Governor Gordon says the ultimate goal is to get information about new and emerging employment and enterprise opportunities in the hands of those seeking to advance their careers, or grow and expand their businesses.

The origins of the project date back to 2019, when the Governor’s office was awarded grant funding and technical assistance from the National Governors Association (NGA) in partnership with Strada Education Network. 

In collaboration with five other states, Governor Gordon’s office led a state team that included representatives from Laramie County Community College, the University of Wyoming, the Wyoming Community College Commission, the Wyoming Department of Education, the Wyoming Department of Workforce Services and the Wyoming Business Council, resulting in the successful development of the new tool.
