Demand Occupations
Under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), the SWWDB approves training services for individuals based on occupations determined to be in demand in the local area. SWWDB relies on labor market data available from the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development, Office of Economic Advisors and other job projection information in determining occupations in demand. The goal is to provide the best information possible about job possibilities and to use training resources to prepare workers for employment in southwest Wisconsin.
Demand occupation lists can be useful tools for students, job seekers and counselors. They provide a guide for making informed career choices by identifying occupations that have a high potential for sustained demand or growth in the state and local area.
