Academic Supply and Occupational Demand in Tennessee: Workforce Needs and Degree Production. Annual Report [2016]
Tennessee Higher Education Commission
This report is the result of collaboration between the Tennessee Higher Education Commission (THEC), the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development, and the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development. Using data from 2006-2014, this report presents projections of degrees to be awarded from public, private, and proprietary institutions in Tennessee through the year 2025. These estimates of degree production (i.e., supply) are linked to the needs of Tennessee's workforce (i.e., demand) to determine whether the output of Tennessee's higher education system is meeting the needs of employers across the state. This report is divided into four sections. "Expected Awards" presents projections of postsecondary certificates and degrees to be awarded by public, private, and proprietary institutions in Tennessee through 2025. "Workforce Needs" identifies Tennessee's most immediate workforce deficits and highlights the 25 most in-demand career fields across the state. This section also lists the 20 most over-supplied 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 degree programs in the top 25 high-demand occupational areas. "Conclusion, Limitations, and Recommendations" discusses what can be learned about Tennessee's supply of labor and demand for particular career paths, outlines the limitations of supply and demand analyses, and proposes directions for future work in this area.
