Building a Regional Skills Matching Engine for Talent Development

Introduction

A local council aimed to combat unemployment by creating a centralized platform to connect job seekers, employers, and training providers. The solution needed to address regional skill gaps, improve workforce participation, and enable businesses to find qualified candidates efficiently.
