Labor Market Information

Local labor market research and industry advisories inform and validate the decisions the Office of College and Career Education make to develop new and/or enhance current CTE programs of study.   There is a clear alignment of the District's CTE pathways and current and projected regional labor market needs as all pathways lead to high-wage, high-demand jobs in our area.  For more information on how well Orange County is performing in areas such as the economy, housing, health, education, and income view the 2024-2025 Orange County Community Indicators report.  For additional resources, click on the links below:
