Title of bill
An act to amend the labor law, in relation to including forward-facing employment data in labor market information
Purpose of the bill
To give students and administrators labor market and forward facing employment data to best advise students on the skills and experience needed to fill the many jobs in New York that needlessly go unfilled.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 defines key terms including "forward facing employment data" as current and projected employment opportunities in New York with the geographic, training, and experience requirements needed to fill such opportunities.
This section also requires that the Department of Labor shall provide to, inter alia, every school district and community college in the state maintaining approved career education programs, labor market information and forward facing employment data.
Furthermore, the education department shall provide schools and an analysis of the labor market information and forward facing employment data. The data and the analysis shall be made available to schools and community colleges, and the guidance counselors therein.
To effectuate the foregoing, the Commissioners of the Department of Labor and Education (or their representatives) shall meet at least once a month(excepting July and August).
Section 2 Establishes the effective date.
Justification
Every year many jobs in New York go unfilled because students and administrators do not have all the data available of the many jobs available and the training, and education necessary to obtain such jobs. Often, the best way to fill such jobs requires raising awareness about such opportunities at the high school and community college levels allowing students the chance to identify such job opportunities, and with the assistance of guidance counselors, map the necessary strategies to fill those job opportunities. This bill aims to put the requisite information and data in the hands of students and administrators so that students can be best informed about the skills and experiences necessary to obtain employment as they consider their future educational and/or work path beyond high school and community college.
