Our Technology

What are the tools of the workforce analyst? The planner? The investor? The decision-maker? Their tools are solid theory, reliable data, knowledge of the area, and the ability to see things from multiple perspectives.

With the Silatech/EMSI tool, local stakeholders can begin to understand their regions and answer the workforce and economic questions that lead to better development decisions. The goal is to allow regional leaders, using a region-specific tool, to make region-benefiting decisions.

A tool for Understanding

Just knowing the information is a key starting point. To start, the tool will allow government agencies, regional planners, investors and the private sector to understand things like:
  • Each nation’s industries and occupations
  • National employment, wages and property income
  • Workforce demographics and skills
  • Exports and imports
  • Current training programs by occupation and skill area

A tool for Describing

Next, analysts need to be able to simulate the impacts of alternate development proposals. The tool will allow stakeholders to:
  • Quickly and easily model the economic impact of investments and development projects
  • Run various development scenarios side-by-side and thereby make informed comparisons
  • Verify the claims of foreign investors and other project advocates
  • Strategically focus on local issues, and know the potential impacts on youth, employment, and the economy

A tool for Communicating

Finally, the tool provides a powerful vehicle for communication, influence, and advocacy of policy. The tool will allow stakeholders to:
  • Produce detailed and objective reports and strategic plans
  • Inform local groups, business, and youth about job and income opportunities
  • Provide information to local decision makers concerning a full spectrum of development issues (economic development, workforce development, and training)
  • Assess policy that has already been made, and influence the creation of new policy
  • Create a common understanding and trust between stakeholders from various backgrounds
