The QS Skills Datasets map global labour market shifts to academic programmes, enabling leaders to keep curricula relevant, support accreditation, and drive graduate success. Shape tomorrow's workforce with the power of QS data.
The race for future-ready skills is accelerating. Employers are reshaping job profiles faster than many institutions can respond. Our Datasets combine global job-posting analysis, employer perceptions, and long-range forecasts to reveal which skills are emerging, which are waning, and where to focus investment.
Unlike any other source, QS links skills data with student mobility, performance, and innovation insights, helping universities, governments and EdTech providers align programmes with real market needs.
