Occupational Supply Demand System (OSDS)
The National Supply Demand Consortium, centered at GCIC and funded by the U. S.
Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, has developed a web
site 
for occupational supply and demand analysis. The Occupational Supply Demand
System (OSDS) combines state-level occupational characteristics, projections,
wage trends, and industry employment (demand) with postsecondary graduation data
(supply) for analysis of labor markets and training options. OSDS helps program
planners and workforce administrators determine what education and training
programs they might offer based on the labor market supply/demand mix. The OSDS
provides a methodology using Units of Analysis, Occupations, Programs of Study,
Federal Career Clusters, and Georgia Program Concentrations to find related
supply and demand data. The OSDS is an open website at:
www.occsupplydemand.org.

2-year public schools that are part of the Technical College System of Georgia.
Using school, program of study, and state demographic data students can
determine “best-fit” options before applying.The Technical College School Sort is an open website at:
