Labor Market and Research

The regional Centers of Excellence for Labor Market Research (COE) are the leading source of regional workforce information and insight for California Community Colleges. As a grant-funded technical assistance provider, the COE works with colleges, regions and the sector networks to identify opportunities and trends in high growth, emerging, and economically critical industries and occupations, analyze the gap between labor market demand, available training, and existing or future workers, and help regions respond to workforce needs by providing quality information for decision-making.
