Call for Unified Data System to Streamline U.S. Workforce Programs

Call for Unified Data System to Streamline U.S. Workforce Programs

At the ASU+GSV Summit 2026, experts highlighted the need for a unified data system to manage workforce programs in the U.S. Currently, data is spread across multiple systems, creating administrative burdens for educational institutions. The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, along with other systems like the National Registered Apprentice System and the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), require extensive data management. Panelists proposed a centralized hub to streamline data collection and improve accessibility for students and institutions. This would involve auditing existing forms, standardizing terminology, and integrating data into a single system.
