Match programs to the employers hiring nearby.
Use the Regional Evaluation System (RES) to connect the programs you offer with the occupations nearby employers hire for, the projects coming to your area and the funding pathways that may support training.
Book a walkthroughNew employers are coming to the region. Which programs should grow, and which employers should you talk to first?
Program decisions take time. Specific occupations, hiring windows and nearby employers give a provider a better basis for deciding where to add capacity and how to place graduates.
A practical starting point
Apply RES to project demand and workforce planning.
- 01
Connect programs to occupations
Map each program to the occupations it prepares students for, using published program and occupation classifications.
- 02
Review regional demand
See which employers and announced projects nearby hire those occupations, and at what wage levels.
- 03
Plan the response
Identify programs worth expanding, employers to approach for placements and funding pathways to investigate.
What the work should clarify
A shared basis for program and placement decisions.
Use the regional view to structure a discussion your team can act on. Keep the evidence and unresolved questions together.
- Programs linked to the occupations they prepare students for
- Nearby employers and projects hiring those occupations
- Wage context for graduates within a commute
- Funding pathways and questions to confirm with partners
Know where the analysis ends and verification begins.
Published program completions show historical output, not available seats or job placement. Employer hiring plans and funding eligibility need to be confirmed directly with the employers and agencies involved.
