Addressing Education Deserts: How UF Uses Labor Market Data to Reach New Markets and Connect with Employers

Online programs present an exciting opportunity for institutions to expand their reach and serve new markets. But they also raise unique questions:

• What programs would best align with labor market needs, not just in our region, but across the nation?
• What are the specific skills that employers in our state (and others) are looking for?
• Where should we target our marketing efforts?

To help your institution answer questions like these, Emsi is hosting a webinar with Aaron King, Program Director at the University of Florida’s Office of Distance Learning. King will share how his team uses a blend of traditional and real-time labor market data to guide program development, employer engagement, and marketing strategy.

What you’ll learn

Key takeaways will include:

• How to locate “education deserts” where there is a clear need for new programs to fill labor market demand
• How to anticipate employer needs and strengthen industry partnerships with real-time data about in-demand skills
• Inspiration and ideas for using labor market data more proactively and effectively in 2020

Join us on Tuesday, March 24 at 2pm ET (11am PT) to see how one of the nation’s leading public research universities is proactively using data to discover markets and develop partnerships in their home state and beyond. King’s presentation will be followed by Q&A.
