Making sense of skills
A UK skills taxonomy by Jyl Djumalieva and Dr. Cath Sleeman
Skill shortages are costly and can hamper growth, but we don't currently measure these shortages in a detailed or timely way. To address this challenge, we have developed the first data-driven skills taxonomy for the UK that is publicly available. A skills taxonomy provides a consistent way of measuring the demand and supply of skills. It can also help workers and students learn more about the skills that they need, and the value of those skills. The full research paper is available to read here.
You can enter your job title to find the skills that you need
