The Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration facilitated an Applied Data Analytics training program for state teams. The particular focus of this training series was on using example data from the state of Illinois, training provider, and wage record data to examine the unemployment to reemployment trajectories of UI benefit claimants and visualize them in a dashboard. The results provided participants with (i) an understanding of how to work with similar data in their own state and (ii) the code necessary to produce a portal similar to the Illinois portal.
