UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The final workstream report, “University Programming and Employment Alignment Dashboard,” from the Academic Portfolio and Program Review (APPR) committee is now available to the Penn State community.

This dashboard was created by Hanover Research and provides an overview of Penn State's program offerings and degree conferrals by college, campus and county, alongside Pennsylvania labor market trends. The dashboard supplements previous reports that looked at current and future employment needs for Pennsylvania, based on data confined to the Mid-Atlantic region (Workstream 1 and Workstream 2).

The dashboard has been shared with Penn State senior leadership and APPR Steering Committee. This is a high-level overview and should be viewed as a tool that is intended to be used in conjunction with other data and information.
