Academic Supply and Occupational Demand in Tennessee: Workforce Needs and Award Production. Annual Report [2018]
Tennessee Higher Education Commission
This report is the result of collaboration between the Tennessee Higher Education Commission (THEC) and the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development (TDLWD). Using data from academic year (AY) 2006 through AY 2016, this report presents projections of awards to be produced by public, private, and proprietary institutions in Tennessee through AY 2025. These estimates of award production (i.e., academic supply) are linked to the needs of Tennessee's workforce (i.e., occupational demand) to indicate whether Tennessee's postsecondary institutions are meeting the needs of employers across the state. This report is divided into five sections. "Expected Awards" presents projections of postsecondary credentials to be awarded by public, private, and proprietary institutions in Tennessee through AY 2025. "State Workforce Needs" identifies Tennessee's most immediate workforce deficits and highlights the 25 highest-demand career fields in the state through 2018, as defined by TDLWD. This section also lists the 20 most oversupplied programs of study in Tennessee, for which there are substantially more postsecondary graduates than job opportunities. "Institutions Offering Programs in High-Demand Areas" lists the public, private, and proprietary institutions across Tennessee that offer programs in the 25 highest-demand career areas. "Regional Workforce Needs" identifies occupations with high employer demand in each of the state's nine regions defined by the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development (TNECD). "Limitations and Conclusions" outlines the limitations of supply and demand analyses and summarizes the key takeaways of the report. [For the 2017 report, see ED604827.]
