Greetings from ACLS.

I hope you are looking forward to a relaxing and joyful holiday

We are excited to invite you to an upcoming Zoom presentation and

landscape of Ph.D. careers and the evolving value of advanced
expertise, led by Matt Sigelman of the Burning Glass Institute

.

The session will cover:

   - *AI-Driven Shifts in Work: *How automation and augmentation are
   changing the skill demands of knowledge work, altering learning curves, and
   redefining traditional career entry points.
   - *Evolving Opportunity Landscape: *New pathways emerging as roles
   become more specialized, cross-industry transitions expand, and demand
   grows for deep analytical and research-driven capabilities.
   - *Foundational Skills That Endure: *Evidence on the human, digital, and
   business skills that carry the strongest wage premiums across fields—and
   how these competencies position Ph.D. talent to thrive.
   - *Career Patterns Across Disciplines: *Insights into how Ph.D. holders
   in STEM, humanities, and social sciences navigate diverse career
   trajectories, both within and beyond academia, and where their expertise is
   most in demand.

future of learning to advance economic mobility, shared prosperity, and
improved outcomes for workers and learners. Named by Forbes to its Future
of Work 50, Matt has dedicated his career to bridging the gap between
talent and opportunity.

Previously Chairman and CEO of Lightcast, Matt pioneered the field of
real-time labor market analytics, a breakthrough innovation that
transformed the way employers, education institutions, policy makers, and
workers understand, plan for, and connect with the world of work.

He serves as Senior Advisor at the Harvard Project on the Workforce and a
Futures Fellow at the Stanford Center on Longevity. He writes widely on the
job market, has testified before Congress, and is consulted frequently by
public officials and the global media. He is also Founder of the Main Line
Classical Academy, an elementary school bringing the classical liberal arts
curriculum and rigorous study in math and science to the kindergarten level
on up and dedicated to the idea that children are never too young to learn
great things.

Matt holds an AB from Princeton University, an MBA from Harvard, and is a
Member of the Council on Foreign Relations.
My best to you and yours,
