Apollo Research Institute investigates the value, importance, and future of education.
Formerly University of Phoenix Research Institute, Apollo Research Institute studies issues of critical importance to educators, employers, and policymakers. Collaborating with academic and corporate research partners, we apply our research expertise across diverse industries. Through rigorous data collection, analysis, and evaluation, we develop research-based recommendations to help leaders promote an educated workforce for today and tomorrow.
Founded in 2010, Apollo Research Institute is a nonpartisan research division of Apollo Group, the parent company of seven leading providers of educational services worldwide, including the University of Phoenix.
Apollo Research Institute has three areas of research interest: the value, importance, and future of education.
Apollo Research Institute examines the value of higher education for individuals, corporations, business sectors, and local economies. For example, we measure ways that higher education pays off for individuals in industries like healthcare, business, IT, and engineering. We also work with corporate partners to find the ROI of higher education and its impact on workforce advancement.
To help leaders understand the link between education and workforce advancement, we investigate what education and skills will be vital for employment now and in the future. For example, we look for disparities in national supply and demand for skills to understand where the gaps are and why. We also study regional workforce skills as they vary by geographic area. Finally, we look at long-term skills requirements to help employees and employers anticipate what competencies will be needed for future jobs and careers.
Apollo Research Institute helps educators, employees, and employers anticipate the future of education and its relevance to the workforce. The rapid acceleration of technology and globalization will impact organizations and workers alike. Through collaboration with the nonprofit Institute for the Future, we explore workforce forecasts using a variety of tools and techniques such as expert think tanks, scenario planning, and environmental scanning. The goal of this research is to help educators, employees, and employers adapt to societal shifts and build a strong foundation of human capital for a sustainable future.
