OpenSKIMR


While matching the skills of individuals with highly demanded skill sets required by jobs and occupations in the IT field is a great challenge, adding necessary learning items and visualizing them on a proposed learning route may be seen a promising approach to this end to end matching problem. Inspired by classic route planning software, the “Open Skill Match Maker” (OpenSKIMR) aims to support young people in planning and simulating their individual learning and career path; hopefully leading to their desired career destination. At the European Project Space we would like to demo our initial prototype and collect feedback and advice from the HCI community.
