👨🔧 Apprenticeship Market Landscape
Apprenticeship are structured programs that integrate on-the-job training with classroom learning. Historically for hands-on skilled workers, the value of apprenticeship models are increasingly being applied to new vocations, particularly those in technology fields, as well as being considered for integration into higher education, with rising popularity of 'degree-level' apprenticeships.

👨🔧 Apprenticeships - Market Map
🌍 Global Student Flows: US Outlook
90% of total international student flows to the US come from 30 countries, and 60% of those enrol in STEM programs. South Asian markets are generally very highly STEM-concentrated, with India being a clear outlier among all global markets for its significant preference for postgraduate STEM. At the other end of the spectrum, developed economies have a much higher concentration of non-STEM programs with a heavier weighting towards undergraduate programs. China and Nigeria are more evenly distributed markets despite showing highly differentiated price points suggesting that these students enroll at very different price points and in very different institutions.
Catch up with HolonIQ's recent webinar as we unpack our latest research and data on international student flows to the US. The full 2024 Global Student Flows: US Outlook report can be accessed here, or request a demo of the HolonIQ Platform to gain access to the underlying data and visualization tools.
