The next generation of data on in-demand jobs, skills, competencies, and credentials

1. @USCCFeducation @jason_tyszko The next generation of data on in-demand jobs, skills, competencies, and credentials

2. Discussion Questions • What experience do you have engaging employers and how effective is it? • What data do you have about employer needs and what it the source? In your estimation, is it sufficient? • Is your institution or are your programs trying to improve student outcomes in terms of employment transitions?

3. A growing employer-led movement to build high-performing talent supply pipelines that deliver an ROI for learners, workers, and employers. TPM is made up of a growing network of over 230 partner organizations in 29 states and Canada, involving thousands of employers

4. JDX emerged from the TPM movementas a means to improve the employer signaling challenge.

5. The Problem Disconnect between employers, education partners, and job seekers High costs of developing validated, competency-based job postings from scratch Increasing demands on HR professionals’ time More dynamic, fast-paced labor market

6. The Solution The JDX is a set of open data resourcesthat support employers and their HR partners in signaling in-demand jobs and skills—and other hiring requirements—as structured, linked data on the open web. Send better, faster, clearer signals through the JDX Pilot test with employers and HR technology partners Extend and improve the JobPosting Schema

16. JDX Evaluation The Main Question: Do the JDX tools and resources help employers send a better, faster, clearer signal to education and training providers? Additionally: • Is the JDX “sustainable” in terms of being widely adopted and used? • Will a clearer signal lead to better outcomes for employers and job seekers?

17. JDX Timeline JDX prototype finished    Summer 2019 JDX pilot-testing begins        Summer2019 Pilot-testing and evaluation Fall2019

18. Discussion Questions • Is it clear what the JDX does and how it works? • What other JobSchema+ improvements or extensions should we consider? • Is the value proposition clear for higher education? • What use cases can the JDX help address that are important to APLU and CIMA? • Who in your institution or in your networks needs to be consulted or informed? • Would your institution or state be interested in being an early adopter?
