Developing AI tools for sharing intelligence on the local labour markets of VET graduates

AIVET aims at co-creating transparent and significant skills intelligence on VET at the local level by articulating local databases (of graduates, internships, jobs), artificial intelligence, social science research on skills ecosystems and the
social construction of technology as well as qualitative data (interviews and focus groups). About 150 participants will contribute. Four universities (UAB- SP, IPS-BAS- BU, UNIVE- AT and VUB- BE) and a chamber of commerce (GCCCC) will be the partners.The project will pilot a tool that helps analysts to inform VET local decision-makers with skills intelligence driven by AI.
Interviews with graduates and focus groups with employers will triangulate this information in Barcelona, Sofia and Vienna.
The conclusions will be discussed in participatory workshops and a training activity. An institute of statistics and several VET providers will pariticipate in design, research and participatory activities as associated partners in the three cities.
The project will deliver a review report, two prototypes of an skills-intelligence AI tool and methodological protocols that will help analysts of VET to make sense of local information. It will also produce two qualitative research reports (including data sets) that assess the scope of local quantitative skills intelligence (triangulation). Best practice reports will showcase examples in the three cities. Participatory workshops and a training activity will disseminate the conclusions.
