Stop Guessing.
Start Knowing.
A 360-degree assessment and marketing tool that finally tells you what's working and gives you the proof to show the world.
The JOB-Ready Rating captures insights from the four voices that matter most: students, alumni, employers, and faculty. The result? Clarity on your strengths, direction on what to improve, and a powerful story to tell.
You're Trying to Improve Employability, But Where Do You Start?
You know the pressure. Parents want job outcomes. Students want career-ready skills. Employers say graduates aren't prepared. Accreditors want evidence.
But without solid data, it's hard to know what's actually working and what needs to change.
So you end up guessing.
And guessing is expensive. So is standing still.
You might run internal surveys. You might collect anecdotal feedback. But how do you know if you're measuring the right things? How do you compare against peers? And how do you turn any of it into a story prospective students actually believe?
One Rating. Two Reports.
Endless Possibilities.
The JOB-Ready Rating is a comprehensive assessment and global marketing tool designed specifically for universities serious about employability. It gathers structured feedback from four key stakeholder groups (students, alumni, employers, and faculty) to give you a complete picture of how your institution performs in the areas that matter most.
But it doesn't stop at assessment. JOB-Ready delivers two powerful outputs:
1. Institutional Report
A detailed, data-driven analysis of your strengths and gaps across teaching quality, graduate outcomes, employer engagement, and Industry 4.0 readiness. Finally, clarity on what's working and what's not.
2. Student Prospectus
A recruitment-ready report you can use to attract students, showcase subject-specific excellence, and tell your institution's story with confidence.
READY
Excellence
Plus: A Seal of Excellence
Institutions that meet the benchmark receive the JOB-Ready Seal, a globally recognized mark of employability and quality that signals to the world: "We deliver results."
