Provided are systems and methods for recommending and prioritizing jobs to pursue, as well as skills, credentials, education, and the like to obtain, targeted to both individuals and consultants, coaches, etc. who may help those individuals. The prioritizing and the recommending may be performed based on a skills graph that includes nodes representing entities, and edges annotated with shared skills information between the entities. Thus, the skills graph can be used to find entities that are similar to each other in terms of skills.

A system and methodology for determining the frontal edge of knowledge of an individual in an efficient manner using a hierarchal knowledge data structure is provided. The process (implemented by the system and/or methods) include navigating the branches of the hierarchal knowledge data structure in a statistically efficient manner to assess or determine the knowledge status and skill set of each concept, and wherein less than all the concepts are tested in the hierarchal knowledge data structure.

A system of and method for facilitating on-device training and creating, updating, and disseminating micro-leaning simulations is provided. The system utilizes a trio of core tools, which are Simulator tool, a Creation tool, and a management and monitoring tool. These tools are utilized to develop tracks, modules, and lessons for users to complete and demonstrate proficiency. The system provides for recreation of native mobile applications from screenshots and utilizing these recreations for the development of sandboxed lessons without need to access the native application during training. The system also includes utilizing mobile device features and peripherals to create a realistic training simulation.

A method of providing reward-type practical training to a practical training participant in a crowdsourcing-based project that enables more actual work practice by providing, as practical training, a practical training participant with tasks that are the same as those performed by a real worker, is provided.

Software tools serve universities and their prospective and enrolled students in the development of clearly understood career pathways, attainment of skills, and transition to employment. Exemplary embodiments are designed to better reveal the connections between chosen majors, required coursework, developed skills, future employment, and regional labor markets, while also providing data to better understand a student's process of making educational and career choices when exposed to this data. An overall goal of the product is to affect increased enrollment and successful outcomes of underserved and non-traditional students through exposure to guaranteed transfer pathways, cost savings, timely matriculation, higher retention, and increased post-graduation job opportunities focused on regional job markets.

A system for career exploration and exposure is provided comprising a computer application stored in the computer that, when executed, receives a first message from a client device, the first message providing at least specifications for a future lifestyle and describing vocational interests of a party interested in the future lifestyle. The system also determines cost of the desired future lifestyle and determines occupations associated with the described vocational interests. The system also determines a subset of the occupations able to afford the desired lifestyle based at least on the determined cost, and sends a second message to the client device, the second message communicating the subset of occupations. The specifications comprise at least one of the party's desired residence location, the user's desired housing arrangements, the user's eating habits, the user's transportation requirements, and the user's preferences for children, pets, and luxuries.

Systems, methods, and computer program products leveraging the use of data collection, analytics and predictive modeling to selectively provide customized career and education counseling based on each individual user's interests, personality, preferences, geographic location, habits and experiences. The collected user data and user-defined parameters define a user profile, providing insight into career or educational options best suited to the user. Further educational and career information may be collected and presented to the user, including enrollment information from one or more colleges and universities, specific educational programs aligned with the user's defined profile, and descriptions of courses and curriculum. The presentation of the career and educational information to the user may be tracked using a recording device and the reaction of the user while viewing the presented content may be used to gauge user interest in the presented materials and as feedback to improve future recommendations and presentations of materials.

In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to monitoring the quality of packages loaded onto delivery vehicles for delivery to customers. In some embodiments, there is provided a system including: a database receiving and storing package quality reports in which each report corresponds to the transport of packages by a delivery vehicle to a customer; at least one package quality report including: delivery route identification information, and package quality feedback information identifying package quality conditions of packages transported by the delivery vehicle from a group of package quality conditions; and a control circuit configured to: allow a first group of users to access the package quality reports received and stored in the database, and allow a second group of users to each transmit and store a new package quality report in the database but not to access the package quality reports previously received and stored.

Embodiments are directed to managing data correlation over a network. Student information may be provided. Position information based on potential employers may be provided. Student profiles may be generated based on translation models and the student information. The student information may be translated into unified facts included in the student profiles. Position profiles may be generated based on the translation models and the position information. The position information may be translated into other unified facts in the position profiles. The student profiles may be correlated with the position profiles based on recommendation models, the unified facts, and the other unified facts. Each student profile and position profile pair may be associated with a score based on a strength of the correlation. Reports may be provided that include each pair of the student profile. A plurality of pairs may be ordered based on the score associated with each pair.

Embodiments for intelligent career planning actions in a computing environment by a processor. A career planning model may be created for a user according to a career goal, a user profile, and one or more alternative user profiles and historical data of alternative users having achieved the career goal. A career plan may be generated for the user according to the career planning model.
