Wyoming SLEDS Overview

The Wyoming Statewide Longitudinal Education Data System (SLEDS) is a statewide collaboration between the Wyoming Department of Education (WDE), the Department of Workforce Services (DWS), Wyoming’s community colleges, the University of Wyoming (UW), the Department of Family Services, and the Wyoming Community College Commission. These participating entities link education and workforce data so that policymakers, public programs, and the public can make informed decisions and affect change.
