Enhanced Opportunity Project Workspace

[jrineakter]

Mentorship and helping people evaluate their career path is very important to me and led me to start a MBA Applicant Mentoring program through the Sponsors for Educational Opportunity organization. With this as background, it’s not surprising that I think very highly of this tool. JobSeeker uses the Department of Labor’s OpenSkills API to help people find jobs in which they are likely to succeed based on their skills and experiences. Individuals fill out a survey — informed by decades of research — which provides a behavioral match to any position. The tool also identifies the requisite skills to be successful in jobs that users identify. The Department of Labor has invested considerably in developing its APIs (stay tuned, there’s more to come here) and it’s exciting to see Pairin take advantage of this important groundwork.




I’m proud that data.world supported the Opportunity Project and has committed to maintaining and enhancing the data workspace that we prepared in our data catalog. The workspace includes Federal india whatsapp number data Agency Problem statements, data from 11 federal agencies as well as 12 cities, and allows technologists to leverage our social and collaboration tools. Here are two hypothetical examples of the kinds of projects this workspace can power and facilitate:

A web app that helps new immigrants find the best market for their sills or small businesses

A policy research effort that compares law enforcement and community data across localities, determines which factors help the most effective law enforcement models succeed, and based on these factors, identifies other cities likely to benefit by adopting similar models

If you are a professor, data bootcamp instructor, hackathon organizer, or civic technologist looking for real-world data problems in sectors ranging from housing to transportation to education to healthcare as well as others and are also accompanied by a curated repository of nearly 400 datasets as a resource for a project, we hope the workspace helps you and would love to hear your thoughts.
