Accelerate Alabama
Accelerate Alabama is a strategic plan developed January 2012 to provide direction
for economic development in the state for at least the next three years. Eleven
industry clusters were identified as areas of focus for recruitment, retention,
and renewal in the state. As a partner agency, the Alabama Department of Workforce provides
information to support statewide economic development efforts. As a result, The
Labor Market Information Division developed a presentation on each industry cluster
which provides both trends and the most recent data to assist with the efforts of
this initiative. For more information on the Accelerate Alabama plan visit
http://www.madeinalabama.com/.
An overview of each Industry Cluster is provided below:
High Demand Occupations
The Alabama Department of Workforce, Labor Market Information Division develops a full profile of
Industrial and Occupational Projections in cooperation with the Projections Managing Partnership (PMP).
These projections support functional partners across the state and regional areas.
Applying criteria established by The Alabama Committee on Credentialing and Career Pathways (ACCCP),
the Workforce Information Grant Unit determines occupations are High Demand within the Statewide and the seven
Local Area Boards (WIOA Regions). These occupations match career pathways and competency-based frameworks that
are set forth by the ACCCP and its Technical Advisory Committees (TACs). Click the following link to review the
High Demand Methodology.
