ABLE's engagements span labor markets, economic development, education, feasibility, economic impact and performance analytics. The common thread is rigorous analysis translated into practical guidance.
ABLE led a multi-year workforce study across Northwest Florida's eight coastal counties, beginning with a targeted industry-cluster framework and extending into a holistic assessment of labor supply, demand, skills and talent mobility.
ABLE evaluated the Palm Coast Regional Airport corridor's competitive position using industry concentration, projected growth, wages, supply-chain relationships, economic multipliers, labor-shed characteristics and stakeholder input.
ABLE analyzed occupational demand, wages, industry trends, labor-force participation, educational attainment and the region's education and training ecosystem, with comparisons to state and national benchmarks.
ABLE researchers combined six-digit industry data, cluster definitions, local supply-chain relationships, stakeholder input and IMPLAN trade-flow analysis to assess which industry clusters were viable targets for the region.
ABLE used Florida Department of Education data to compare Lakeland and Polk County with peer regions and identify trends, gaps and opportunities in the local public K–12 education system.
ABLE researchers contributed to an update of Florida's defense industry impact analysis, incorporating Department of Defense, Homeland Security and Veterans Affairs spending and using REMI PI+ to estimate regional and county effects.
