Through this module on occupational trends for high-skill, high-wage, and in-demand careers, I learned how to strategically access and interpret regional Labor Market Information (LMI), such as state earnings projections and the Occupational Outlook Handbook, while aligning programs with Perkins V compliance standards like the Comprehensive Local Needs Assessment. I intend to apply this knowledge by integrating localized workforce data directly into classroom guidance and curriculum design, using real-world wage metrics, guest speakers, and clear pathway mapping to help students and their families make informed decisions about their postsecondary and career options.
