How Skills Data Helps Jobseekers Unearth New Opportunities

Emsi Burning Glass recently released From Likely to Aligned, a guide that examines how skills data reveals unknown career pathways. By helping jobseekers identify aligned (or adjacent) skills, communities can help people not only get back to work but guide them into jobs with wage and growth potential. In this webinar, we dove into the report findings, looked at likely transitions currently being made by workers, and how skills data reveals potential aligned transitions.
