Q&A and discussion
"This is one of the best, most useful workforce reports I’ve seen from any industry association. It provides actionable information that decisionmakers and researchers can use to design a and strengthen workforce development pathways. In emerging industries, it is often difficult to find reliable workforce analyses. Other industries would really benefit from replicating and learning from LSWC's approach."
