Civic Leadership Education and Research (CLEAR) Initiative

USC Price CLEAR

The Volcker Alliance is proud to support the work of the CLEAR Initiative. A project of the University of Southern California’s Sol Price School of Public Policy, CLEAR conducts research on public sector labor market dynamics, behavioral public administration and policy, diversity management and representation in public organizations, the political economy of civil service, and technology and change in public organizations. CLEAR helps scholars, educators, and public sector leaders understand and meet their public sector workforce needs with a focus on governance capacity, diversity, and the impacts of technology, politics, and the economy on public service occupations.

INSIGHT+ Dashboard

A signature project of CLEAR is the Integrated Network Solutions in Government Hiring Trends (INSIGHT+) Dashboard, an interactive tool to support data-driven decision-making in government hiring. INSIGHT+ leverages real-time data analytics to provide a comprehensive analysis of federal hiring trends; enables analysis at the job, bureau, geography, and market levels; produces a proprietary data engine to forecast workforce development, and empowers users to generate new insights, analysis, and functionality through tiered access to various institutional stakeholders as well as researchers across social sciences.

The CLEAR Initiative is led by Dr. William Resh, the C.C. Crawford Professor of Management and Performance at the University of Southern California's Sol Price School of Public Policy.
