VOEE wanted to create an automated dashboard that would allow stakeholders from across the state to view the occupational profiles and key data metrics for each of Virginias unique occupations in the Bureau of Labor Statistics data set. Because VOEE did not have a dedicated analytics team, Archetype was brought in to develop a core data model and develop a functional protype dashboard that was easy to use and would be a trusted place for this type of data. 

Archetype developed an integrated data model in Tableau that blends student completion data with relevant market information. The data required was provided in Excel based extracts from VOEE. Integration of this data was complete using Tableau. After which, the dashboard was created to support reporting of blended student completion data and relevant market information.  

The Tableau dashboard that Archetype created allowed the ability for users to download data tables in Excel or .csv file format, as well as ways for users to interact with the data to see estimated impacts from implementing different intervention or policy options preprogrammed in the data. It also provided the ability to pull data by region, industry, and other relevant dimensional filtering.  

 With these new capabilities now available, VOEE was successful in their intent to share relevant data and insights across the state of Virginia. Ultimately, this Tableau dashboard will assist the Commonwealth in gaining a consistent perspective on the measurement and reporting of the availability of qualified and skilled workers to meet demand within industry across each of the regional economies within Virginia.
