Emsi announces new open-access skills library with 30,000 skills
Emsi Skills creates common language to connect people, education and employers
MOSCOW, Idaho (9/17/2019)— Talking about the labor market just got easier with the release of Emsi Skills, a new open-access skills library.
Emsi, an Idaho-based labor market analytics firm, curated nearly 30,000 skills from hundreds of millions of job postings, resumes and professional profiles. Now, the free library is open to the public, providing an up-to-date collection of the real-world skills that people have and employers value.
“We built Emsi Skills to create a common language between people, education and employers, groups that have historically struggled to communicate,” said Andrew Crapuchettes, Emsi CEO. “Employers want to know what skills to require in their job postings. Educators want to know what skills to teach in their programs. And jobseekers want to know what skills to learn so they can succeed in the workforce.”
“In an economy that competes on talent, the importance of employers clearly signaling in-demand skills and competencies cannot be overstated,” said Jason A. Tyszko, vice president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s Center for Education and Workforce. “With 62 percent of employers either exploring competency-based hiring or already putting it into practice, tools and resources like Emsi’s new skills library are necessary to support this critical shift.”
Emsi is also providing free access to a skill tagging prototype which demonstrates how the library can be used to translate job postings, resumes or syllabi into the common language of skills. Interested organizations can test sample text or try it out on their own documentation.
The Emsi skills library is available now via API, enabling organizations to access the full list of skills along with the skill type and unique skill ID. The skill library is updated every two weeks based on live postings and profiles, as well as suggested skills submitted through the Emsi Skills website. Emsi takes an ontological approach, combining human curation and machine learning to discover new and emerging skills and ensure they accurately reflect the labor market.
