 NC State Training Accountability and Reporting

all citizens of the state without regard to WIA eligibility.
The Public link allows anyone with Internet
access to locate training programs, WIA approved or
not, in North Carolina. In addition, users may view detailed contact and location information,
program requirements, tuition costs, available financial aid, and level of certification or
degree obtainable. Where available there are links directly to the training provider's site.
The Registered Training Provider link allows registered training
providers to update administrative and program information and register new programs.
The New Training Providers
link allows training providers to complete the WIA application to list their programs via
the Internet. The Workforce Board link allows local boards to
certify programs via the Internet.
Web State and Area Research Analysis System
(WEBSARAS)
North Carolina's web-based State and Area Research Analysis System, known as WebSARAS
was developed to fulfill the needs of researchers, analysts, counselors and planners
for up-to-date demographic, economic and labor market information.
WebSARAS provides detailed information on population, income, occupational wages, industry
data, industrial and occupational projections, labor force, mass layoff statistics, and
other labor market data. Information is available for North Carolina statewide, counties,
planning regions, broad geographic regions, Workforce Development Board areas (WDBs) and
Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs).
The system displays area maps from which a user
can navigate to the geography of interest. Using tables that appear at the top of the page,
users can navigate easily through the application and locate state, regional and local
information. The information selected is displayed in descriptive tables. Much of the
information is available in graphs and color-coded thematic maps. Users can also create custom
regions comprised of counties they select, have data compiled for this area, and produce
printable reports. This program is also available at
www.websaras.org

filling in the gaps between each 10-year census. The ACS is sent to a small percentage of our population on a rotating
basis. Information from the survey is used by the government in determining how more than $300 billion per year is
distributed and provides information used by communities making decisions on policies, programs and services.
