QUESTION 01

What skills do our programmes develop?

Connect institution-defined learning outcomes and assessed achievements to the skills a programme represents.

QUESTION 02

Which occupations use those skills?

Relate reviewed skill concepts to occupations, giving academic and careers teams a shared pathway to explore.

QUESTION 03

How is employer demand changing?

Bring separately sourced market intelligence into view to examine employer requirements, locations and skill demand.

A connected institutional view

What Is Workforce Intelligence?

Workforce Intelligence connects what a university teaches and assesses with the skills, occupations and employer requirements that shape the wider workforce. It gives leadership, academic, careers and employer-engagement teams a shared way to explore how programmes relate to changing demand.

Institutional evidence remains institution-defined. External market context is separately sourced and mapped, so teams can bring both into curriculum and workforce conversations without confusing their origins.

01What do our learning outcomes represent?

02Where do those skills connect to occupations?

03What does external employer demand bring into view?

04What merits institutional discussion or review?

A traceable line from learning to work

From Programme Evidence to Workforce Questions

Begin with institution-defined programmes, outcomes and achievements. Relate them to reviewed skill concepts, then use occupation connections and separately sourced market intelligence to ask more specific workforce questions.

  1. Institution-heldProgramme evidence

    Learning outcomes, assessed work, credentials and achievement criteria establish what the institution represents.

  2. Reviewed relationshipsSkills and occupations

    Governed skill concepts connect programme evidence with occupations relevant to institutional goals.

  3. Separately sourcedExternal market context

    Employer requirements and market dimensions add a distinct view for discussion and planning.

Skills → Occupations

A programme skill becomes more useful in context. Reviewed relationships help teams explore the occupations that use those skills, and identify the learning evidence and local priorities that matter to their institution.

A separate view of workforce context

Employer Demand

Employer requirements add market context to programme evidence. CertifyMe's job-farming engine processes separately sourced company and job-provider information into structured workforce and opportunity insight for institutional teams.

What institutions hold

Programme outcomes, assessed learning and credentials define the educational evidence and meanings set by the institution.

What market context adds

Employer demand, location and skill demand offer a separately sourced perspective, mapped to occupation and skill concepts.

The two perspectives bring programme evidence and changing requirements into the same conversation. Differences remain connected to source coverage, mapping and programme intent, giving academic teams a basis for informed review.

Academic strategy and programme design

Curriculum & Programme Planning

Workforce intelligence can make curriculum conversations more grounded in programme evidence and external context. Academic teams can examine which capabilities are taught and assessed, how they relate to occupations, and whether changing requirements merit discussion.

Programme perspective

Review intended outcomes, assessment and the skills represented across modules and credentials.

Workforce perspective

Bring occupation relationships and separately sourced skill demand into programme planning conversations.

For institutional careers teams

Career / Employability Teams

Careers and employability teams can use programme-to-occupation connections to explain possible pathways and bring employer context into institutional planning. The shared view supports their collaboration with academic and employer-engagement colleagues.

Explain pathways

Connect programme skills to occupations and progression possibilities in language learners and colleagues can understand.

Support employability planning

Bring occupation requirements and skill relationships into conversations about preparation, support and programme context.

Share institutional insight

Give careers teams a common evidence base for working with academics, leadership and employer engagement colleagues.

Explore the Skill Passport

Stronger institutional conversations

Employer Engagement

Bring a clear picture of programme skills and relevant occupations into employer conversations. External market context can help teams identify shared areas of interest, discuss changing requirements and explore where deeper engagement could support institutional priorities.

  • Relate programme strengths to relevant occupation skills.
  • Frame employer conversations around shared workforce needs.
  • Connect employer engagement with academic and careers priorities.

Institution-led meaning and use

Institutional Governance

Universities define what their programmes teach, what achievements mean and how evidence is used. Workforce intelligence adds a separate market perspective; it does not replace academic judgement or turn an external signal into a conclusion about a learner.

Institutional evidence

Institutions govern programme outcomes, assessment, credentials and the meaning of represented skills.

External market data

Separately sourced employer and job information is structured and mapped to skill and occupation concepts.

Reviewed relationships

Skills and occupation mappings provide the connections between programme evidence and market context.

Institutional decisions

Teams use context and academic expertise to decide what to explore, discuss or review.

What is workforce intelligence for universities?

Workforce intelligence connects institution-held programme, learning and skills evidence with occupations and separately sourced labour-market information. It helps university teams investigate curriculum relevance, employer requirements and workforce trends for institutional planning.

How does it help academic and careers teams?

Academic teams can relate assessed programme skills to occupation requirements and questions for curriculum review. Careers and employability teams can use the same connected context for guidance, employer conversations and programme-level pathways, alongside the underlying learning evidence.

How do credentials connect to employer demand?

Issued achievements provide institutional evidence; reviewed skills mappings relate that evidence to structured capabilities. Occupation relationships and separately sourced market data provide the external comparison. Employer demand does not come from the credential or institution itself.

What is skills intelligence in higher education?

Skills intelligence brings the capabilities represented by assessed learning and credentials into view. Skills Taxonomy Mapping preserves institution-defined meaning and reviewed relationships before comparison with occupation or employer requirements.

How can a university compare programme skills with the market?

CertifyMe connects institution-defined learning outcomes and reviewed programme skills to occupation concepts, then maps separately sourced employer and labour-market information. Comparisons retain the programme evidence, market source, geography, coverage and refresh context.
