Dashboard (click here)
The 2024 High Demand Occupations Dashboard is a user-friendly tool designed to provide access to the 2024 High Demand Occupations List and core labor market data for all Virginia occupations. It offers vital information such as current employment, median annual earnings, average annual openings, and a five-year workforce projection for each occupation. The dashboard also highlights how each occupation aligns with various programs, including the Workforce Credential Grant/Fast Forward, G3 funding, Registered Apprenticeship, and the STEM workforce. Users have the flexibility to tailor the data to their region by selecting a Local Workforce Development Area (LWDA) or Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) and can further refine their search based on specific career clusters, pathways, and entry-level education requirements.
Virginia Combined State Plan (PY 2024-2027)
The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) requires states to submit a Unified or Combined State Plan that sets forth a vision for the workforce development system. Every four years, Virginia submits a Combined State Plan, which includes the six WIOA core programs and other workforce development programs. This Plan promotes a shared understanding of Virginia’s workforce needs and fosters development of more comprehensive and integrated approaches, such as career pathways and sector strategies, for addressing the needs of businesses and workers.
