For State and Local Government
Lightcast partners with workforce boards, economic development organizations, and state and local agencies to identify the industries and occupations driving their regions, close skills gaps, and benchmark against peers. Our data and software help agencies attract and grow employers, map career pathways for residents, and tell a clear, evidence-backed story about their region's competitive strengths.

Colleges and universities use Lightcast to build programs aligned to employer demand, connect students to career pathways, and demonstrate outcomes to students, taxpayers, and accreditors — from curriculum alignment to alumni outcomes tracking to full economic impact studies.

For Federal and Defense
Lightcast also equips Federal and Defense agencies with the workforce insight needed to understand evolving mission requirements, identify critical skill shortages, and strengthen recruitment, retention, and training strategies.
