Duration
18 months
Description
The Burning Glass Institute (BGI) was founded in 2022 to advance data-driven research and practice on the future of work and on the future of learning. BGI works with educators, employers, public agencies, regional coalitions, and policymakers to develop solutions that build mobility and opportunity through skills. BGI’s expertise in mining new datasets for actionable insight draws attention to pressing problems and frames the potential for new approaches. With Corporation support, BGI established the Completion Hub allowing for the exploration of a strategic merger in service of education equity. In this initial period, the Hub created a strategic roadmap detailing quantitative and qualitative analysis serving as a backbone for goal setting, a scaled approach, target audience, initial locations, defining the elements needed to scale to support adults with some college, no degree to re-enroll in college, persist, and complete a degree beginning with the 56k municipal workers in NYC who aspire to a BA. Continued Corporation support will launch this initial work around the Carnegie College Comebackers initiative.
