Joel M. Simon

Managing Director - Workforce Strategy
Burning Glass Technologies
Chicago, IL

Joel Simon works with communities (large and small, urban and rural) to invest in people, and ensure that everyone has an opportunity to participate in and support economic growth. I am privileged to work with a wide range of stakeholders, leveraging the best thinking from across the US to reduce poverty, increase degree attainment, build wealth, and help communities thrive.

Joel works closely with civic leaders, economic developers, workforce investment systems, colleges and universities, employers to promote the benefits of lifelong learning, direct learners to subject areas where their learning will be most highly valued, and create concrete strategies to more effectively serve individuals, communities and industries.
