Getting a Personalized Prescription for Reaching the Job

In Today’s Workforce, Skills are the New Currency and Bargaining Chip.

What a person has to offer in a job is not determined by education, degree or a job title, but by ALL the skills he or she brings to the table. The Career GAP software gives individuals the power to see their current skill sets, compare them to the skills needed for a particular target job, and view the gaps between the two.

How Career GAP Works



The individual enter his or her experiences

We’re talking about ALL kinds of experiences… from jobs, education, the military, training, community service, after school activities, hobbies, and the length of time spent.



Our custom database captures their knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) using the Department of Labor's O*NET system

O*NET provides a common language for defining and describing occupations. It’s flexible design also captures rapidly changing job requirements.



The individual selects a target job

The Career GAP system compares their existing skill sets to the skills needed to perform the target job.



The individual gets a customized report showing their GAPs

Each person gets the prescription for the minimum viable education, required work experiences, and the necessary licenses and credentials needed for the job. Want to try a different job? Users can run their current skill sets against an unlimited number of target jobs.

What Can Career GAP Do For Me?

Career GAP provides a way to link education and career standards while capturing ALL the unique experiences of the individual, then providing individuals with a clear view of their current knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) and the needs for reaching the target job. Career GAP presents the prescription for reaching a target position. It gives individuals the power to make better choices when it comes to their own career, from what classes or training to take, what part-time jobs contribute skills needed in the target job, planning for the necessary licenses and credentials needed on the job, and setting career goals to map jobs along the way to the ultimate target job.

INDIVIDUALS are able to use Career GAP to identify skills, experience, and education that match their target job.

It allows the person to research their “dream” job. The prescription component of the Career GAP software takes the person’s current status (what they have to work with now) and identifies what is required to be viable for the target job, spelling out clearly the critical competencies for the chosen position and field.

EMPLOYERS are able to manage their workforce, matching open positions to applicant competencies and managing the skill and competency pool of their employees.

Career GAP allows employers to identify recruitment and training goals for their workforce making them more efficient at recruiting, advancing employees from within, and identifying where cross training is needed to advance individuals and the organization.

AGENCIES & EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS are being held more accountable for providing job readiness and preparation for the workplace.

The Career GAP provides tools to streamline services while empowering the individual. The flexibility and universal access provides the new data sets now required to maintain funding and document gainful employment.

Competitive Edge

Today’s market does NOT have a individual self-management tool for careers that is based on work experience, education, community service, and the building of skills for the workplace. People do not need to know all their skills to engage the Career GAP—they need to know their job titles, training, education, and certifications. Everything gets included because as we know, many skill components are transferable, soft skills, technology based skills or rare talents. While there is some software that assist in the exploration of specific career tracks—nothing exists that is comprehensive and viable to the individual, institution, and employer.

The reporting structure allows leaders to snapshot specific economic data in their software participating population. For instance, if a specific employer is identified, then patterns in skills, work experience, etc. can be described to enhance, target, or even avoid them. In other words, because the data is saved in its smallest unit, active data analysis and even concepts not yet known can be analyzed in the future regarding the workplace, groups, businesses and the economy.

How It Works



Database Architecture

Career GAP uses real-time databases of occupational data, the ability to customize education details via program, the ability to convert military to civilian occupation standards, and the database structure to add individual company model job descriptions based upon the federally standardized nomenclature.

Multiple Views

Three dashboards give different views for individuals, staff, and management/ administration. Reports can be generated by individual, group, demographic, policy or data mining. A system of permissions can be turned on to comply to HIPPA and FERPA requirements, allowing staff with different clearances to operate in the system.

Foundations in O*NET

Career GAP starts with a foundation based on the DOL’s O*NET system, the Occupational Information Network, a unique, comprehensive database of worker competencies, job requirements, and additional resources. O*NET is an open source application developed under the sponsorship of the US Department of Labor/Employment and Training Administration (USDOL/ETA).
