NCRN July Webinar on Skill Profiles and the Portability of Credentials for the Technical Workforce

Please join us on Wednesday, July 27th at 1:00pm EDT for our next webinar. Cesar Montalvo of the University of Virginia Biocomplexity Institute, Social and Decision Analytics Division will present to the NCRN on how technical skill prevalence shapes salary returns and the connection between credentials and career pathways for skill-intensive occupations. His team's research used Burning Glass Technology information for the State of Virginia and focused on five major occupation groups including construction, maintenance, production, transportation and healthcare. Cesar and his colleagues determined the skill “genome” of occupational groups and constructed a metric for skill importance to classify skills according to technical component. The research helped identify returns for technical skills within occupations, which informs individuals about career pathways that may lead to technical occupations through reskilling and credential seeking.
