Inform decision-makers
Decision-makers need actionable data on their region’s talent shortages and opportunities. Emsi Burning Glass visualizes real-time employer demand and workforce supply data in a dashboard, providing you with a clear sense of in-demand skills and careers in your region. This phase reveals upskilling and reskilling opportunities for jobseekers.
Align training and education
By examining educational programs in light of skills, existing programs can be translated into a skills-based language, and stakeholders can evaluate the gap between the skills being taught and those being sought by employers. Training can then be adapted to better prepare learners for the skills-based marketplace and more effectively match jobseekers to personalized training programs.
Connect people, education, and work
Skills are the currency in which jobseekers, learning providers, and employers trade. Emsi Burning Glass helps adult learners better evaluate the skills they have and link them to new opportunities for work and education. This skills matching approach helps jobseekers find meaningful work, connect to programs that help them up- or re-skill, and it helps businesses find the talent they need.
Emsi Burning Glass serves thousands of professionals across higher education, state and local government, and business. We have begun deploying this framework in states and regions that are seeking effective reemployment strategies and new solutions to develop their workforce. Get in touch to discuss how this skills-based approach can create a stronger, more inclusive economy in your community.
