Workforce Programs

The dashboard, called BOOTS (Business occupational outlook tool sets), provides tools for job seekers, businesses and educators; and connects individuals to local education and job opportunities.  

It offers users a greater understanding of what jobs are available in Wyoming; pathways through education to be able to qualify for in-demand jobs; the value of education and training; labor supply and demand; as well as growth potential for Wyoming industries both regionally and statewide.

These members advise the Wyoming Department of Workforce Services and its 20 full-service state workforce centers, determine federal workforce grant allocations, and establish and oversee Next Gen Sector Partnerships.
