ODEM skillprint Engine: Building a Common Language

ODEM has developed a unique skill-matching machine learning technology that integrates skill and occupation data sets from any source as well as serve these classifications up to users in a logical and meaningful manner. ODEM's skill-matching methodology is built on the premise that we expect ODEM participants to be lifelong learners and change jobs and careers many times in their lifetime. ODEM has created a way to take complex and sophisticated taxonomies like those of ESCO and O*NET and use machine learning to consolidate them into a common language. This is an innovative breakthrough that will help skill-match students to education and employment on a global scale. This common language allows users to make logical selections and create meaningful profiles

• f their current and desired experiences and learning.

ODEM leverages AI technology to break down words and phrases from these data sets and create meaningful relationships for users and present them with targeted education and employment opportunities.

model that places courses, jobs and students into a shared space which enables us to make meaningful comparisons

• An application of

word2vec[1] techniques for courses, jobs, employers, educators and students
