Project goal

The goal of MATCH is to make it possible thatwhen an job seeker draws up his/her curriculum (offer)this is expressed in a way that is “compliant” to the way companies/employers have expressed their requirements (demand)and vice versa (exchanging offer and demand)so that the best MATCH between the offer and the demand is found

Need for a “common language”

To maximize the overlap in matching curricula to labor market demand

Information pieces involved in the overall process have to be expressed by means of a “common language” This would allow to

The matchmaking process

Perspectives of the job seeker/employerCan be roughly split in three asynchronous moments

The employer define the requested profileThe job seeker define his or her own curriculumThe best match between job descriptions and curricula is identified

With the LO-MATCH platformWork/Education/Training/… experiences characterized with learning outcomes from the occupational descriptions (KSC)Best match is found by exploiting lexical and semantic relations among learning outcomes
