In April 2013, "NEJHE" launched its "New Directions for Higher Education" series to examine emerging issues, trends and ideas that have an impact on higher education policies, programs and practices. In this installment, DiSalvio interviews Matthew Sigelman, CEO of Burning Glass Technologies, a Boston-based labor market analytics firm. Among the topics discussed were: job prospects in New England for recent college graduates; how students with liberal arts degrees can increase their job prospects; how higher education leaders can take full advantage of labor market information to help improve the employment prospects of individuals and the economic prospects of the region; and how higher education will evolve and adapt to changing needs.
