Open Data in Labour Market Facilitation
Cognizone plays a pivotal role as the “technical arm” behind the European classification of Skills, Competences, Qualifications, and Occupations (ESCO). This classification serves as a reference language for employment and education, fostering a shared comprehension of skills, learning, and occupations across diverse borders and languages.
Connecting People with Opportunities
ESCO acts as a catalyst in connecting individuals to job prospects and aligning education with employment. It stands as a powerful tool for analyzing information on skills demand within the labor market.
