SKILLS DEMAND SIGNALS

See How Skills Demand Is Moving

The value isn't in knowing which skills are in demand. It is in seeing which ones are gaining ground, losing relevance, and reshaping employer demand.

01

Emerging Skills

Capabilities appearing more frequently in employer postings. The earliest signal of where demand is building.

02

Rising Demand

Skills with sustained increases across roles, industries, and geographies. Demand that is not a spike, it is a trend.

03

Shifting Demand

Skills whose presence is changing. Where employer requirements are evolving and what is replacing them.

04

Skills by Occupation

Which capabilities define each role, and how skill requirements vary across occupations with the same title.

05

Skills by Industry

How employer skill priorities differ across sectors, and where the same skill carries different weight.

06

Geographic Demand

Where specific skills are concentrated, where they are emerging, and how requirements differ across countries and labour markets.

SKILLS DEMAND CONTEXT

A Skill Signal Is Only Useful When You Know Where It Matters

Knowing a skill is growing is only the beginning. See what is driving that demand and how it is changing across the market.

Occupations

Which roles require this skill, and at what seniority level?

Industries

Which sectors are hiring for it, and where is demand concentrated?

Companies

Which specific employers are posting for it, and how is that changing?

Locations

Where is demand highest, and where is it emerging?

Seniority

Is it required at entry level, senior level, or only in leadership roles?

Time

Is demand growing, stable, or beginning to decline?

EDTECH & L&D USE CASES

Three ways EdTech and L&D platforms act on skills demand.

01

Curriculum alignment

Map your course catalogue to live employer demand. Identify where your content covers rising skills, where it teaches declining skills, and where employer demand has moved past what you offer.

Signal

Rising vs declining vs emerging skills in your target roles and sectors

02

Skills gap analysis

See the gap between what learners complete and what employers are currently requiring. Identify which skills in employer postings are absent from your curriculum, before learners notice.

Signal

Employer-required skills absent from your course content

03

New course development

Launch high-demand courses with employer data behind the decision. Know the velocity, coverage, and geographic spread of a skill before you commission content around it.
