Context
Labor market dashboard helps address regional shortages in technology and healthcare
A medium-sized province was facing rapidly increasing labor shortages in two key sectors: technology and healthcare. Despite the urgency, policymakers relied on outdated, fragmented data from multiple sources, which made it difficult to understand current dynamics or anticipate future shortages. Without a unified labor market dashboard or forward-looking analytics, policy decisions lacked measurable substantiation, and interventions could not target the areas with the greatest need.
ETIL’s ArbeidsmarktInZicht solution provides an integrated, up-to-date view of vacancy trends, educational pathways, and future labor market developments, supporting faster, data-driven policymaking.
Challenge
Outdated and fragmented labor data made proactive policy-making nearly impossible.
Without an up-to-date labor market dashboard, the province had to work with outdated figures scattered across multiple sources. This made it difficult to identify current labor shortages or anticipate future developments in critical sectors, such as technology and healthcare. Policy teams lacked reliable trend visibility, resulting in interventions that were not substantiated by measurable data and were often reactive rather than strategic. Without integrated vacancy, education, and regional data, the region could not form a coherent, fact-based labor market strategy.
The outcome: policy decisions were slower and unable to effectively address emerging labor shortages.
- No up-to-date labor market dashboard
- No insight into future labor shortages
- Policy interventions without measurable substantiation
- Fragmented data sources
What we did
We introduced ArbeidsmarktInZicht as an integrated labor market insight dashboard.
To provide the province with a reliable and up-to-date foundation for labor market policy, ETIL implemented the ArbeidsmarktInZicht dashboard. This centralized environment brings together vacancy and education data and trend analyses on a five-year horizon.
The approach unified fragmented regional datasets into a consistent, interpretable view and equipped policy teams with future‑oriented insights instead of outdated figures.
Moreover, stakeholders used administrative interpretation sessions to establish common ground, developing a shared interpretation framework and a measurable basis for decision-making in sectors facing urgent shortages, such as technology and healthcare.
Actions taken:
- Implementation of the ArbeidsmarktInZicht dashboard as the central labor market insight tool
- Integration of regional vacancy and education data
- Trend analysis on a 5-year horizon
- Facilitated administrative interpretation sessions
The Solution we delivered:
- a fully integrated insight dashboard for evidence‑based labor market policy
Results
Faster policy decisions and targeted interventions
With ArbeidsmarktInZicht, the province gained an up‑to‑date, integrated overview of vacancy trends, education flows, and future labor shortages. This allowed policy teams to make decisions more quickly, intervene in the most critical sectors, and track the effects of programs in a structured, data‑driven way.
The unified insight platform also strengthened cooperation across regional partners by giving everyone access to the same facts and trend interpretations.
