Information and Communications Technology (ICT) provides the largest opportunity to meet labor demand, with LA Community colleges supplying only supplying 3% of yearly demand. These two industries are the most necessary for our colleges to react to in the workforce market of Los Angeles County. Based on a limited Labor Market information study on just Data Scientist, which are only part of the available data jobs targeted, over the next five years, there is projected to be 3,333 jobs which is more than the 634 awards conferred annually by Los Angeles County community colleges. The goal of the 12 partners on this project is to increase enrollment in ICT programs to 3,000 per year.
