Labor Market Information / Skills-Gap Study Lead (Public Sector)

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

• Required:
• - 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
