Abstract: The "2025 Academic Supply for Occupational Demand Report" is a joint report between the Tennessee Higher Education Commission (THEC), Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development (TDLWD), Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development (TNECD), and Tennessee Department of Education (TDOE). The Department of Finance and Administration's Office of Evidence and Impact (OEI) supports this project by linking K-12 and postsecondary graduates to employment data in Tennessee's integrated, longitudinal data system, Tennessee Data Analytics for Transparency and Accountability (TN DATA) Secure Data Hub. This year's report maintains the career cluster structure, grouping occupations and aligned training programs in one place. This report: (1) Identifies in-demand occupations and aligned academic programs at the postsecondary and secondary levels and registered apprenticeships organized across 14 career clusters; (2) Captures select agency initiatives promoting education and workforce alignment in K-12, higher education, and the workforce; (3) Includes information for additional resources to further explore Tennessee's in-demand occupations and aligned academic programs; and (4) Identifies aligned academic programs whose graduates enjoy high employment and high wages signaling increased labor force need. Programs where Tennessee employment rates are 60% or higher and confer first-year wages exceeding the state median wage ($43,816 in 2023) have been labeled as programs that are meeting unmet needs. There are 77 programs that have been identified for this report using these thresholds developed by TDLWD.
