Mission
To enhance economic opportunities with data-driven strategies that inform community and workforce development initiatives.
Program accomplishments
- DDES provides in-depth economic reports to communities in Colorado to help educate citizens, businesses, and government on the national, state, and local economies. The unbiased, government-sourced information helps inform decision making and thus helps guide economic and workforce development initiatives. Within Colorado Springs, the reports are provided to the broader community as a (charitable) public service although sponsor organizations support the work of DDES to make the economic reporting free to the public at large. In two other communities, DDES has contracts to provide the monthly economic reporting. In all cases, DDES staff routinely provide gratis technical assistance and mass media education on how to interpret the data and use it proactively. In addition to the written economic reports (and associated technical assistance) DDES does economic presentations, weekly newspaper and other written mass media articles, and a weekly TV economic update. These are all done to educate the community about the latest economic data and how it impacts them. DDES also provides detailed labor market data for various K-12 school districts and higher educational institutions to help inform their career-technical education (CTE) programs. Additionally, DDES works with educational leaders to increase access to post-secondary education especially targeting at-risk communities. Rigorous, social science methodologies are used by DDES to compile the economic and workforce data.Expenses $448,988 · revenue $383,452
