About this role
AlphaGov is seeking a Labor Market Information / Skills-Gap Study Lead for project-based analytic engagements with workforce boards, state workforce agencies, regional councils, and related public employers.
You will design and deliver discrete labor-market, skills-gap, occupational-demand, and workforce-risk studies — producing decision-ready findings for public clients. This is analytic consulting (methods + applied interpretation), not job placement, training delivery, or staff augmentation.
What you'll do
-
Design LMI / skills-gap study scopes, data plans, and analytic frameworks
-
Analyze occupational demand, supply, wages, credentials, and regional workforce risk using public and administrative data
-
Translate findings into employer- and policy-relevant recommendations
-
Produce clear written reports, briefings, and optional board/WDB presentations
-
Partner with AlphaGov evaluation SMEs when program-impact questions overlap
-
Contribute methods appendices and technical narrative to AlphaGov proposals
-
Requirements
-
5+ years labor-market analysis, workforce research, regional economics, or related public-sector analytic work
-
Demonstrated experience delivering skills-gap, occupational, or LMI studies for a WDB, state agency, regional council, or comparable public client
-
Strong quantitative methods literacy and plain-language writing
-
Ability to cite concrete past public projects (agency, role, year)
-
Nice to have: WIOA/WDB familiarity; Python/R/Stata or advanced Excel; prior consulting/subconsulting; experience pairing with program evaluators
