Measuring Career Adaptability Acr oss Education\, Work\, and Migration\n\nAlireza Javadian Sabet\, Universit y of Pittsburgh\n\nMS Teams<https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/3522551074695 08?p=JcYaMt3ZnuCNXBHBbz>\n\nFormat: 35 min talk + 25 min Q&A\n\nAbstract: Careers can look straightforward on a CV—titles\, employers\, degrees— yet what really determines mobility is the evolving set of capabilities be hind those labels: what people learn\, what transfers\, and what quietly s tops transferring when opportunities shift. In this talk\, I bring new mea surements to that hidden layer. I translate millions of university syllabi into workforce-relevant skill profiles to compare what institutions teach to what jobs demand\, and to see how the “same” credential can imply very different readiness depending on the skills it bundles. I then introd uce Career Space\, a representation that places education and jobs in a sh ared embedding to track occupation compatibility as something that grows\, concentrates\, or fades as experience accumulates—capturing the differe nce between pathways that keep many options open and those that build deep \, targeted advantage. I close by looking at a higher-stakes pivot: cross- border mobility. Using large-scale career histories linked to origin-count ry conditions\, I examine how women’s empowerment reshapes return versus stay decisions and how these choices redistribute knowledge production ac ross countries.\n\nBio: Alireza Javadian Sabet is a computational social s cientist and Ph.D. candidate in Information Science at the University of P ittsburgh’s Resilient Economy Lab (REL). His research develops scalable\ , data-driven methods to study careers as sequences of learned capabilitie s\, measuring how skills form in education\, transfer across jobs\, and ac cumulate into career adaptability. He examines when trajectories benefit m ore from broad flexibility versus deep specialization. Prior to his Ph.D.\ , he earned an M.Sc. in Computer Science and Engineering at Politecnico di Milano\, where he built large-scale datasets and models to study behavior during major live events and developed context-aware personalization and recommender systems for multimodal travel.\n\n\nSubscribe to future talk a nnouncements: Anyone outside Bell Labs can receive talk announcements by s ubscribing to the mailing list.
