About Us
Carnegie Mellon University has built a virtual "Workforce Supply Chains" tool that can rapidly quantify
the readiness of a regional workforce to meet labor demand for a specific occupation or set of skills.
It can be used to:
- design training programs that focus on the most salient missing skills
- to support data-driven workforce development plans for industrial capacity investment programs
- and to evaluate how technology might close labor market gaps by augmenting worker skills
For any US metropolitan statistical area, the tool estimates the gap between skill supply and demand.
