Description

This ExploreVR webinar is for current and future VR leaders who want to discuss leadership-level engagement in the VR agencies' use of Labor Market Information (LMI). This topic is increasingly important given the passage of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA).

Topics include:

  • The role of LMI in planning processes,
  • Creating LMI partnerships/collaborations,
  • Obtaining buy-in from VR counselors in fully using LMI tools, and
