Market analysis
Currently there is several websites where students can browse and compare educations on the swedish market. A market analysis concluded that there is room for improvement. It is hard to understand the difference between certain educations since the content of the pages are structured in different ways and often presented in text. There are comparison features but these do not show in depth information such as differences in skills or differences in hireability. Few educations are reviewed meaning there is a lack of incentive for student to offer feedback to could be valuable to future students. There is very little information about future prospects of the education, and in many cases important information is presented in different places making it a bit of a treasure hunt finding everything.
