Workforce Resources
Sacramento Works is your resource for information and staff development.
Labor Market Information
Our Occupational Outlook and Training Directory provides this information and more! The directory is comprised of three major sections:
- A series of occupational profiles that are summaries of descriptive and statistical occupational information primarily based on data collected through confidential surveys with local employers
- A multi-county directory of the Sacramento region’s education and training providers that provides basic information about the education and training providers that have programs designed to prepare persons for entry into one or more specific occupations. This includes certificate and degree programs offered through adult education schools, apprenticeship programs, community colleges, private schools and colleges, regional occupational programs, and public universities.
- An occupation/training index (an index of occupations and the local education/training providers who offer related training for those occupations).
