Can Data-Powered Digital Badges Bridge the Skills Gap

49 minutes

Communities and learning providers invest millions into skills development, yet nearly three-quarters of companies faced skills shortages in 2022, according to the British Chambers of Commerce and the Open University.

How can this gap be bridged? Part of the answer is to make better connections between educational experiences and potential career prospects, Lightcast invited us along to present how the platform has integrated Lightcast’s Open Skills Taxonomy in order to connect informal learning and real job opportunities based on skills.
