Employee Skillset Solver

A software system that allows companies to easily identify missing skill sets of their employees and to connect these employees to pertinent job trainings.

The Need

Human Resource (HR) departments spend millions of dollars each year training employees, but these trainings are often disconnected from performance reviews or career advancement. HR departments struggle to identify the needs of individual employees so these individual employees must often justify their personal need for training, and HR departments struggle to match employees to beneficial trainings. Though the skills themselves are not easily identified by HR, there is a rapidly expanding online job training database that would allow many employees to receive job training. HR departments need an effective way to match their employees’ missing skillsets with these online trainings in a way that will lower cost to the HR department and increase employee productivity.

The Technology

Gretchen Goffe has devised a system that matches relevant training courses with the desired employee skillsets. Rather than using generic searches or purely technical skills, this system uses analytics to combine information from Human Resources and employees to identify requisite skills and then matches those skills with available training programs. This system can connect employees to job training that could not be identified currently by HR departments alone.
