As employers increasingly look at the skills candidates have<\/a> as the deciding factor for their hire, it\u2019s vital that job seekers know exactly what skills they need for their target role. Degrees are still used as a minimum entry requirement for most professional roles. So anyone considering earning a degree should also be sure that it will give them not only the qualification they want but also the skills that employers are actually looking for<\/strong> when they come to apply for jobs post-graduation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Make data-informed career decisions<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hult International Business School has always used qualitative data from employers to design their curriculum. Two years ago they took this to the next level and partnered with Burning Glass Technologies<\/a> to get the insight that only big data can bring<\/strong> to the skills employers are looking for. They used these findings to integrate the teaching of the top 100 skills for the most sought-after jobs into their business degrees<\/a>. Now, they\u2019re putting that insight straight into the hands of job seekers with the Dream Job Mapper.<\/p>\n
