Our consulting services offer a comprehensive approach to enhancing academic programs, drawing on a wealth of data accumulated over the past decade. Leveraging insights from the extensive alumni network spanning more than 10 years, we analyze key career skill demands extracted from thousands of open positions across various industries and geographic areas. Our methodology integrates career center student usage data, illuminating patterns and preferences in career-related resources. The Next Destination Survey further informs our strategy by revealing immediate post-graduation outcomes, while additional reports, such as program/industry diversity reports, academic program comparison data, and specific occupational and industry reports, enrich our understanding.
This 15-30 minute consulting session engages departmental leadership and faculty in dynamic discussions, presenting actionable report takeaways and providing key recommendations tailored to each academic program. This holistic approach empowers institutions to align their goals with student success, fostering a dynamic educational environment that meets the evolving needs of both students and industry stakeholders.
