Putting Alberta's labour market data to work
Running from 2019-2025, the goal of this project was to show how advanced data science methodologies could provide a more innovative view of the modern labour market in Alberta.
Built by Cybera, with funding from the Government of Alberta, the SkillUp platform focused on current and future labour force skills gaps (and opportunities) in the province.
It enabled users to explore in-demand jobs — mapped against their interests and experience — and plan a pathway for their career development.
