We’re leveraging the latest technological tools and data insights to support our campus partners in new program development, target market identification, and demand analysis.
Market Research
We are using best-in-class industry tools to provide insights to support credit and non-credit program development. Our tools tap into thousands of job postings to identify the current and future skills and competencies that are in demand in today’s workplace.
We recognize the wealth of disciplinary expertise that exists on campus. Our goal is to complement campus existing expertise with real-time insights based on data. Market research can assist you and your program by identifying:
- High demand soft-skills
- In demand technical skills
- Credential and or degree qualifications requested
- Projected growth opportunities in career fields
- Local, regional, and national industry trends related to job opportunities
The above examples are just a sample of how market research can be leveraged to strengthen your program, whether you’re considering the creation of a new program, revising an existing program, or realigning course objectives.
Demand Analysis
As a learning-centered division, our goal is to support program success. To do so requires an understanding of the broader workforce and higher education landscape. In some cases, demand analysis is completed upon request, meaning our campus partners request a demand analysis to better align their programs with current community and industry needs.
However, findings from our analysis may also initiate a new program opportunity. In such cases, ILCI will coordinate with campus partners to offer programs that are responsive to community needs which are aligned with our mission as a metropolitan campus.
