Making Connections 2024 – Elevating Your Workforce Data: The Power of Interactive Visualization for Analyzing Metrics

This full-day intensive session about building visualizations and dashboard with workforce data was presented as part of TWC’s Making Connections 2024 transit workforce conference in November, 2024.

Session Description: Want to make your workforce metrics more digestible, interactive, and insightful? Robust data can provide insights into the success of transit workforce development programs, hiring trends over time, and more, but raw data can be hard to interpret and analyze. Using TWC’s Transit Workforce Data Dashboard as a model, participants in this intensive explored methods for creating powerful and easily understandable data visualizations. These graphs and charts can support transit providers’ and unions’ efforts to measure and effectively communicate program metrics and employment trends.
