What is the WIN Strategic Compass™?

The WIN Strategic Compass is a web-based tool for assessing and aligning workforce indicators with state and
regional economic trends by providing one-stop access to economic trend data, education and workforce data and gap analyses between workforce supply and demand. The WIN Strategic Compass provides a comprehensive look at the characteristics, skill requirements and current and projected supply and demand for occupations at the state and substate levels. The WIN Strategic Compass identifies the current and future gaps between the skills of the incumbent/emerging workforce and the skills demanded by the regional industries to analyze what the skill needs are in the shortterm as well as to prepare for the future.

The WIN Strategic Compass compiles and analyzes information on job opportunities, job responsibilities, salary
ranges, as well as the educational, work experience and skills required to qualify for each level of employment. The WIN Strategic Compass displays customized data by compiling, synthesizing and analyzing the following: earnings by job; alternative occupations; demand occupations; labor supply to meet demand occupations; gaps between education and training programs and employer demand; and, analysis of foundational skill requirements as assessed by the WorkKeys® system. From this analysis, educators, economic developers and workforce practioners can align education and workforce policies, plans and programs, including career pathways and related instruction, to meet the current and forecasted workforce demands.
