Machbarkeitsstudie Kompetenz-Kompass

Abstract

"The knowledge about skills required by employers that recruit new workers is an important information basis for all labour market actors. In the 2nd part of the Project "Machbarkeitsstudie Kompetenz-Kompass", we develop a methodology to identify recent hard and soft skill requirements in job ads published on the employment website "BA-Jobbörse" provided by the Federal Employment Agency. We focus on three job groups with job contents that comprise economic activities like mechanical engineering, information services, and human health and social work activities. Based on example analyses, we show that our methodology potentially allows us to identify the development of up-to-date skill requirements in job advertisements broken down by job titles, skill levels and regions. We also develop a methodology for the completion of skill dictionaries with new skill categoris or new search terms. Our methodology is also able to supply the selection of specific skills according to their importance in job ads for education providers and training institutions. We close this report with a short description of the most relevant measures to provide a general access to the detailled results, the access to the further analysis potential and the further improvement of our methodology."
