Regional Planning Process Model
SOCRATES “cookbook” process for developing your Targeted Industry and Target Occupation List
Key point - statistical data are a starting point that provides critical direction. LWDBs must incorporate “local wisdom”; do not rely only on the “numbers”

LMI TaxonomiesIndustries--Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) moves to North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) in 2002 for all industry data. ES-202 starts 1stQTR2001 with NAICS CES changes Jan 2003
Occupations--Dictionary of Occupational Titles (DOT) and Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) migrate to (SOC) Standard Occupational Classification a.k.a. O*NET 3.0, 2000 Census (modified SOC). 2000 wage data by SOC, 2010 projections by SOC/SIC
Training Programs--1990 (CIP) Classification of Instructional Programs changes to CIP2000. WECM becomes integrated. DOE/OVAE promotes 16 Career Clusters. NSSB 15 skills standards groups.
