Workforce Demand Tools

The tools on this site utilize datasets from the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Georgia Department of Labor to help institutions make informed decisions about program offerings. Through data analysis, institutions can identify skill gaps in their current curricula and decide whether to update or develop new programs. Additionally, this data-driven approach enables the creation of more relevant course content, guides the design of new programs and microcredentials, and assists career services staff in providing students with current guidance on in-demand careers and salary trends. This strategic use of data enables institutions to ensure their graduates are well-prepared for the job market, thereby improving student success and enhancing the institution's reputation as a valuable partner in regional economic growth.
