The National Student Clearinghouse is working with an AI company called AstrumU to map degrees and credentials to in-demand skills. The problem being addressed here is that "employers can't easily find matches for their open positions who earned relevant experience outside of a traditional degree." The company is working on a "marketplace for recruiting and talent development based on quantifiable skills" and "identifying learning recommendations to fill skills gaps that allow an individual with a high probability of success to map to in-demand roles." Having a pipeline like this allows people to address the learning they need to find employment, and if this can be done efficiently, may allow them to develop a more broad-based learning strategy, if they wish.
