State Occupational Information Coordinating Committees

State Occupational Information Coordinating Committees (SOICC’s) may provide information directly or make referrals to other sources. The addresses and telephone numbers of the directors of SOICC’s are listed below.¹

State employment security agencies develop detailed information about local labor markets, such as current and projected employment by occupation and industry, characteristics of the workforce, and changes in State and local economic activity. Addresses and telephone numbers of the directors of research and analysis in these agencies are listed below.

Most States have career information delivery systems (CIDS’s) in secondary schools, postsecondary institutions, libraries, job training sites, vocational rehabilitation centers, and employment service offices. The public can use the systems’ computers, printed material, microfiche, and toll-free hotlines to obtain information on occupations, educational opportunities, student financial aid, apprenticeships, and military careers. Ask counselors and SOICC’s for specific locations.

A computerized State Training Inventory (STI) developed by the National Occupational Information Coordinating Committee (NOICC) is also maintained by the SOICC’s and available in every State. Education and training data are organized by occupation or training program title, type of institution, and geographic area. The database is compiled at the State level and includes more than 217,000 education and training programs offered by more than 21,000 schools, colleges, and hospitals. If you are interested in STI, contact individual SOICC’s for State-specific data.
