Macro-efficiency study

Insights into the need for and potential of a (new) program and making the program portfolio future-proof.
Educational institutions generally offer publicly funded programs. In order to obtain funding, it is necessary to conduct a macro-efficiency study, which must be included in an application for macro-efficiency. This study helps you gain insight into the potential of the program. Is there a need for your new program in the labor market? Is there room in the national offering? What is its importance to society? We have been conducting research into the potential of (new) courses for more than ten years.

When developing a new program, you must submit a request for macro-efficiency to the Higher Education Efficiency Committee. Your application will be assessed based on factors such as the demand for this program in the labor market and its availability within the national education system. Markteffect an expert in conducting macro-efficiency studies and is ready to support your educational institution in carrying out this type of research.

Research into the potential of a (new) training program

The research takes a thorough approach to various aspects: labor market demand, broader social and scientific needs, and an evaluation of the available space within the current range of training programs. By using various sources such as ROA data, information from the UWV, sector reports, and insights from top sectors, thorough desk research and/or an analysis of job vacancies provide a clear picture of the predicted labor market needs and prospects up to 2026. In addition, we offer an in-depth labor market analysis based on job vacancy data, with analyses covering a period of five years. This enables us to estimate the future labor market position of graduates of the intended program.
A macro-efficiency study focuses on the labor market and potential students. It involves conducting quantitative research to gauge market needs among relevant stakeholders. This includes questions such as: How big is the demand? How many staff will be needed? Quantitative research is also often conducted among potential students to gain insight into their needs in the intake market. How do they experience the program? Does it spark their interest? For those looking to refine the professional profile and/or curriculum, qualitative research proves to be a valuable addition.
We have both a high-quality respondent panel and an extensive panel of young people, professionals, and companies.
