Project Profile

Workforce Assessment Study for the U.S. Virgin Islands

J&M Global Solutions
Start Date: Feb 2022 — End Date: Jul 2022

CREC supported J&M Global Solutions (J&M) and EntreWorks Consulting in performing a workforce assessment study for the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI). The study was designed to offer a “deep dive” into the USVI’s workforce and the training and education systems that support it. For this project, CREC provided data and analytical support relevant to all USVI workforce related issues. The analysis identified competitive advantages of the USVI workforce along with areas of potential challenges. The study will focus on current and future talent needs in the eight target industry sectors highlighted in the USVI Vision 2040 report and will identify industry occupations in greatest demand. Recommendations were provided on how to effectively train and upskill USVI residents for these growing careers.
