SkillsMatch helps you identify your skills (Soft skills) and recommends online courses to improve them

With the change in the European labor market and the increase in qualified employees, human resources professionals are looking beyond knowledge and demanding more in social skills. Our goal is to improve the training of people regardless of their background and provide greater market access.

The project develops a prototype to recommend to the users how to adapt their non-cognitive skills to the demands of the market

SkillsMatch’s project aims to develop and demonstrate a European-wide assessment and learning, guiding technology to help users to adapt their skill assets to the demands of the labour market focusing on the support of Non-Cognitive Skills (NC).

The online platform proposed by the project integrates and improves the development of NC skills by providing functionality to enable the assessment and evaluation of such skills and recommending user’s actions for bridging the gap between their skills profile and the one recommended for their target occupations. Moreover, the solution provides options for measuring NC skills development linked to open badges to provide recognition of the new learning and skills.
