The Detroit Metro Convention and Visitors Bureau (DMCVB) commissioned this report from the Workforce Intelligence Network for Southeast Michigan (WIN) to better understand the tourism and hospitality workforce as well as the economic and fiscal contributions made by those workers to the region and the state. Findings from this report will be provided to Michigan legislators and state government officials to help inform and emphasize the importance of tourism and hospitality workers as a major economic contributor in metro Detroit and beyond.
Understanding the complexity of the talent supply for cybersecurity and other considerations for upcoming technologies will aid continued economic growth in the region. New occupations will be created to sell, maintain, service and grow these technologies and their integration into teaching and service occupations. Tracking emerging technologies and their impact on the workforce is key to preparing secondary, post-secondary, and other educational markets for changing workforce demands from employers.
As major automotive manufacturers and technology companies around the world design and test new automated vehicle technology, current employees are learning new skills and future workers will be asked to apply a specific skillset to CAV projects as the product cycle for this disruptive technology continues to mature. In order to better understand future workforce demands in the CAV space, WIN partnered with the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation to analyze job postings for a broad set of occupations involved in the design, manufacture, and infrastructure development necessary to catalyze the CAV product cycle.
