Directly connect your curriculum to real-world job requirements.
With Mapademics, you can build a skills gap report for any target job—whether it’s a position pulled from federal labor market data, local county workforce data, or even a single job posting from a company’s website. This feature lets institutions align their programs with laser precision to labor market demand.
Step 1 — Select or Upload a Job
Choose from federal O*NET data or local labor market feeds.
Or even upload a job description directly from an online posting—Mapademics will process it automatically.
Upload any custom job posting you would like (website link or PDF) in order to build a custom skills library specific to your target job.
Step 2 — Analyze the Skills Required
Mapademics scans the job description to identify both core and relevant skills for the role, complete with desired proficiency levels.
Step 3 — Match to Your Programs & Courses
The system then instantly matches the skills required for that job against skills taught in:
Full programs (degree and noncredit)
Specific courses
Certificates and credentials
You’ll see exactly which skills are already covered, which are partially covered, and which are missing entirely—down to the course level.
Why This Is Game-Changing for Higher Ed
Hyper-Specific Workforce Alignment
Instead of guessing at job market needs, you can target exact job descriptions from the actual employers your students want to work for.
Bridge Skills Gaps Quickly
When the report reveals missing skills, you can make fast, targeted curriculum adjustments—adding short courses, certifications, or microcredentials to close gaps.
Boost Employer Partnerships
Show industry partners that your programs directly align with their hiring needs, backed by clear, data-driven evidence.
Differentiate Your Institution
Offer prospective students a clear, visual demonstration of how your programs prepare them for specific, in-demand roles—helping drive enrollment and retention.
