We’re covered up with data and we can’t easily share with each other
without some sort of a system.

We’ve been juggling and sharing our data as best we can but there has
got to be a better way.

I heard about a new system that’s supposed to help! I think it’s called
ALMIS.
![Page 9: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
We need some way to keep track of all these statistics lying around. See

Let me do some research and I will get back to you!
![Page 11: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

You guys ever hear about ALMIS?Oh yeah… isn’t that the new must see TV show?
Naw, man it’s that new dance craze…
or maybe it’s that new flu bug going around?!
![Page 13: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
I believe you’re both wrong. It has something to do with Workforce Information.
You’re right! ALMIS is all about
information.
![Page 14: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
You know about ALMIS?
Yep, but there’s a lot more to the story than just ALMIS!
![Page 15: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
REALLY? Tell me More!!!
![Page 16: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
No problem. I’ll be glad to teach you what I know!
I’m listening!!
![Page 17: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Okay, Let’s start at the TOP!
ALMIS is part of a new comprehensive ...
![Page 18: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

![Page 20: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
![Page 21: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
![Page 22: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
![Page 23: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
WHAT is this WIS? What does it do?
How is it going to help us share data?
Well, I know the acronym now but….
![Page 24: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Hold On ….
One question at a time! You may be confusing things by getting ahead of yourself.
![Page 25: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Let’s start with the WHAT.
The WIS contains a DataBase called ALMIS that provides an opportunity for states to store their labor market
information in a single place. BUT… WIS is much bigger than a simple
DataBase.
![Page 26: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
What do you mean “WIS is bigger than just a DataBase”?! I
thought that’s all there was to it... a way for us to track our
information and share it with other states.
![Page 27: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
No, it’s much more than that. It’s the realization of a comprehensive
workforce information delivery system.
![Page 28: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
WIS isn’t a single program but a multifaceted system.
![Page 29: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
WIS is an interactive system that ties together various state and
national applications.
![Page 30: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
It is designed to help organize all the tools and data sources used by
employers, trainers and jobseekers.
![Page 31: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
So, you see, WIS isn’t just about jobs or people or labor force
statistics, it’s about ALL those things!
![Page 32: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
It’s a complex system containing
many different programs. The
ALMIS DataBase is just one part of
it.

![Page 41: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Why do we need all these parts?
![Page 42: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Well, jobseekers and employers share a common frustration in
finding reliable information about jobs, training opportunities and
workforce demographics.
![Page 43: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
WIS helps streamline and integrate the maze of programs that serve the employment and training needs of Americans.
![Page 44: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
The WIS serves as the information delivery infrastructure which
supports the One-Stop Career Center System mandated by the
Workforce Investment Act.
![Page 45: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
The WIS isn’t really all that hard to understand.
![Page 46: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
The ALMIS DataBase is constructed and operates a little
differently from other WIS programs.
![Page 47: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Do we have to go through all the other things in the WIS system just to use the ALMIS DataBase?
Nope, use only what you need.
![Page 48: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Well, my boss wants a way to share our workforce information data between our state and other states. That would be the ALMIS
DataBase, right?
![Page 49: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
RIGHT! The ALMIS DataBase is designed to do just that.
![Page 50: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Right now we store our stuff in a single place on our own computers. How will ALMIS
be different?
![Page 51: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Let me give you an illustration…..
You have many different types of data that are generated from the
units in your division.
Right?
![Page 52: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)

![Page 53: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Once each unit produces its data it goes into data files for storage.
Right.
![Page 54: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
All the information is stored in different places….. Maybe on individual PCs, maybe on a LAN system or somewhere in a mainframe computer.
Right.It winds up looking something like this…...
![Page 55: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
![Page 56: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Different units store their data on their own private data bases and then other users can’t easily access it without winding their
way through the maze to find it!
![Page 57: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
So how does the ALMIS DataBase help?
It provides a “central warehouse” for record storage in each state. It
also standardizes the record layouts so that they are the same from state to state to state. It can help break
down barriers so that all customers can easily reach the data they need.
![Page 58: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
The ALMIS DataBase acts as an organizing unit.
![Page 59: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
So you go from this…
![Page 60: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
To this...
![Page 61: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
To this...
![Page 62: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
So the ALMIS DataBase is kind of like a giant organizer for workforce information!!
You could say that. It puts everything in its proper order. Then it puts everything in its
proper place. It makes it easier to find and share data.
![Page 63: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Wah-hooo! That sounds great. My boss is going to love this! How do we get one of these?
![Page 64: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
The ALMIS DataBase isn’t exactly a product that you buy… it’s a system that each state will
build and maintain. The file layouts and structure have been
designed for you by a consortium of states.
![Page 65: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
It has already been distributed to the various states. They have
begun to populate the data fields.
![Page 66: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
ALMIS provides the file structures and the “warehouse”
layout so that it is the same from state to state. You still have to build and populate the system
yourself.
![Page 67: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
ALMIS isn’t an option
but rather a requirement.
All states will use the same file structure.
![Page 68: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
ALMIS lets you stop trying to push over the brick wall ...
![Page 69: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
… and lets you build a city instead!
![Page 70: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
The ALMIS DataBase will be a vital part of implementation of the Workforce Investment
Act.
![Page 71: INTRODUCING THE Workforce Information System WIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1aef7f8b9ab05997d699/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
WIS is the wave of the future.
