WAVELENGTH/REPORTS/PROGRAM HEALTH REVIEWSCOPED · 2–4 WEEKS
THE QUESTION THIS ANSWERS

Is what we already run still working?

A Program Health Review checks whether the programs already in your catalog still match the labor market. We assess where curriculum has drifted from employer demand and which offerings to grow, fix, or sunset before budget season forces the question.

METHODOLOGYHow the report is produced. We will defend each step.
  1. 01 /

    Portfolio scoping

    We define the programs, credentials, service area, and internal performance questions that need a defensible answer.

  2. 02 /

    Market fit check

    We compare each program against regional demand, wage evidence, competitor position, and employer signal.

  3. 03 /

    Curriculum drift review

    We read current program outcomes against the skills employers are asking for now, not when the program was built.

  4. 04 /

    Portfolio call

    Each program gets a clear grow, fix, monitor, or sunset recommendation with the evidence behind it.
