Match Your Programs to Current Labor Data
Today’s students (and their families) expect clear answers about where a degree will lead. Mapademics gives you the data to prove – and improve – the value of every program. Equip learners and advisors with easy-to-read dashboards showing career pathways for each major, from common job titles to median salaries. By integrating real labor market outcomes, you ensure your programs and taught skills truly lead to successful employment for graduates
Crystal-Clear Outcomes: Show current and prospective students exactly what they can do with each degree. For any program, instantly highlight the roles graduates pursue, industries they enter, and expected salary ranges – bringing abstract course descriptions to life with tangible career outcomes. This transparency builds trust and confidence in the ROI of a degree
Data-Driven Advising: Arm your academic advisors with actionable career insight. When meeting with students, advisors can pull up real data on how a course or program aligns with career options, helping students make informed decisions about majors, electives, and career plans. No more advising on hunches – Mapademics ensures every recommendation is grounded in evidence.
Boost Enrollment & Retention: Aligning programs with students’ career goals isn’t just good for students – it’s good for your institution. When learners see clear career pathways, they are more likely to enroll and persist. Mapademics helps you strengthen enrollment by offering relevant programs tightly connected to workforce demand, reinforcing the message that your institution is a launchpad for future success.
Compelling Marketing Content: Enrich your program brochures, websites, and recruitment events with real stats. For example, showcase that “90% of our Software Engineering graduates learn XYZ skill, which maps to high-demand roles like Software Developer and Data Engineer with median salaries of $X.” Data like this (updated continually from the labor market) turns marketing copy into proof points that resonate with career-conscious students and parents.
Employer Partnerships: Mapademics helps you speak the same language as employers by framing your curriculum in terms of skills. Use program skill maps as conversation starters with industry partners: demonstrate how your courses align with current industry needs, and identify areas for collaboration (guest lectures, internships, curriculum input) based on skill gaps. Strengthen your ties to employers who see that your graduates are job-ready and versed in the competencies they value.
Data-Driven Curriculum Enhancement: Stay ahead of the curve by continuously refining what and how you teach. Mapademics provides academic leaders with actionable intelligence to evolve curriculum in step with the shifting job market. Identify emerging skills to integrate into your courses and pinpoint outdated content to refresh – ensuring your programs remain cutting-edge and aligned with employer expectations. Think of it as a feedback loop from the labor market to your classroom.
Identify Skill Gaps: Uncover in minutes what might take faculty committees months to discern. Mapademics highlights skills that are not adequately covered in a program compared to the demands of relevant jobs. If, for example, Cybersecurity employers are seeking cloud security skills that aren’t in your current courses, Mapademics will flag it. These insights help you proactively update curricula so graduates don’t encounter surprise gaps in the field
Keep Curriculum Current: The world of work evolves rapidly – new technologies and competencies emerge every year. Our platform is continuously updated with fresh labor market data, capturing shifts in skill demand so you can respond to trends in real time. Don’t wait for the next program review cycle; Mapademics enables an agile approach to curriculum design. Add a trending skill module, adjust learning outcomes, or even create new programs based on hard evidence of market need.
Streamline Program Review: Mapademics takes the legwork out of program review and accreditation prep. Instantly generate reports that show how each program’s learning outcomes align with job market needs and student success metrics. By incorporating external labor data into your internal review process, you ensure decisions on program expansion, modification, or sunsetting are backed by both academic and economic rationale. The result? Data-informed decisions that increase relevance, efficiency, and impact.
