Data@WorkHelping NLx better put its data to work of the American worker

Workforce has a data problem

People are unemployed and underemployed because they don’t know what skills they

need, where best to acquire needed skills, and how to signal to the marketplace that

they are qualified for work.

The data that can solve these problems is fractured across education & training

institutions, employers, and government agencies.

The Workforce Data Initiative has partnered with the National Labor Exchange and a

network of data providing institutions serving job seekers and employers to establish a

workforce data collaborative that securely and responsibly creates new data

connections, openly available valuable insights, and ultimately better outcomes for

individuals and institutions.

Enter Big Data!

Three major collaborative projects

under the workforce data initiative

Goal: Make the programs, credentials, and

competencies of every education and

training program in a state publically

available in linked data format, tied to

average wage and employment outcomes

Open data services and tools being

developed: SIS vendor links; simplified data

uploading tool; open source integrated data

warehouse; standard outcomes calculations;

open APIs for programs, credentials,

competencies and outcomes

Funders: Skillful/Markel Foundation, JP

Morgan Chase, Lumina

Goal: Make it easier for job postings to be open

and searchable on the web more clearly signal

competencies and credential and for employers to

hire based on competencies and credentials by

providing structured data services for HRIS and

ATS systems.

Open data services and tools being developed:

schema.org & HR Open Standards shema for

jobs; HRIS and ATS vendor links; job posting and

competency normalization libraries and tools; test

APIs & public repository

Funders: Google.org, Lumina, JP Morgan Chase

Goal: Making a public, open licenced,

dynamic ontology of skills, competencies,

and occupations by combining survey-

based taxonomies with skills data drawn

from a public-private data pool using

machine learning and natural language

processing.
