Start year: 2023

Summary: This project will design and build a labor market knowledge graph (KG) prototype. The KG will represent data from job postings and professional profiles in this graph. It will provide a data structure that combines labor demand and supply-side information. Combining these sources into a common data structure will allow for more efficient information retrieval when performing labor analyses that require both demand and supply-side data. The graph structure will also provide the basis for advanced predictive analytics. Such tasks could include predicting “inferred” skills within jobs, skill/job clustering, skill gap analysis, and multi-step job transition pathways.

FOR Codes: Data engineering and data science, Work and labour market
