Doing Things Differently – Presented by Emsi Burning Glass

How skills data helps us see our community differently, so we can begin doing things differently

Often to do things differently, first we need to see things differently. For communities wanting to make transformative changes in their workforce development system, skills data allows them to see their region differently. In this webinar, we’ll showcase how skills data provides a new perspective on the labor landscape, identifies mobility opportunities for workers, and pinpoints paths for upskilling.

Presenters:

Cara Christopher, SVP Business Development, Community Division, Emsi/Burning Glass

Dustin Lester, VP of Consulting, Community Division, Emsi/Burning Glass
