To determine whether job postings from employers seeking master of public health (MPH) graduates require skills aligning with Council on Education in Public Health (CEPH) competencies. I analyzed a data set of 70 343 job postings in the United States for MPH graduates from Lightcast, a data vendor that collects, cleans, and analyzes millions of job postings per year. I contrasted skills from the postings with CEPH competencies. Most postings were from for-profit industry, academia and research, or hospitals and health care, with only 12% from government. The skills from job postings aligned well with CEPH competencies, but some CEPH competencies did not appear in the top skills in job postings. Although accredited public health degree programs provide key competencies demanded by employers, they can improve graduate employability by ensuring that their graduates also obtain specific technical skills listed in job postings.

为了确定雇主招聘公共卫生硕士（MPH）毕业生的职位要求是否与公共卫生教育理事会（CEPH）的能力要求相符。我分析了 Lightcast 提供的数据集中的 70343 个美国 MPH 毕业生的职位，Lightcast 是一家数据供应商，每年收集、清理和分析数百万个职位。我将职位中的技能与 CEPH 能力进行了对比。大多数职位来自营利性行业、学术界和研究机构，或医院和医疗保健机构，只有 12%来自政府。职位中的技能与 CEPH 能力很好地吻合，但有些 CEPH 能力并没有出现在职位中的首要技能中。尽管经过认证的公共卫生学位课程提供了雇主所要求的关键能力，但它们可以通过确保毕业生还获得职位中列出的特定技术技能来提高毕业生的就业能力。（2024 年；114（12）：1388-1393。https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2024.307834）。
