A DataFramed Podcast

#80 The Rise of Hybrid Jobs & the Future of Data Skills

It’s no secret that data science jobs are on the rise; but data skills across the board are rising — leading to what today’s guest calls “hybrid jobs.”

This will require a paradigm shift in how we think about jobs and skills.  

Today’s guest, Matt Sigelman, President of The Burning Glass Institute & Chairman of Emsi Burning Glass, talks about the difficulties of connecting companies with top talent, the hybridization of many positions, and how to position yourself in the ever-changing market. 

Join us as we discuss:

  • The methodology of using data science on the labor market
  • The demand for data skills & how they’re evolving
  • Blending skills to get ahead in the job market & the rise of subskills
  • How educational institutions can prepare students for hybridization 
  • Advice to the audience on how to structure their approach to skill acquisition
