Data Story
We explored the possibility of combining two career related datasets to help users make smart career choices tailored to current Australian job market.
Australian Skills Classification Dataset provides the skill mapping to help identify if all other occupations that match a selected Occupation. We have developed this algorithm and included in the Evidence of work.
The Internet Vacancy Index dataset helps to find out the occupation with most number of vacancies in the current month in Australia.
We combined both these information to suggest user the smartest career moves available to them at present.
