Case Study: Office of Personnel Management Achieves Personalized Career Growth with SkillsEngine

Office of Personnel Management serves 42,000 users with SkillsEngine's skills-based job marketplace

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) faced the challenge of creating a more personal and simplified job search experience for its workforce, as federal role descriptions often contained complex jargon. To solve this, OPM partnered with SkillsEngine and utilized its Data Services/APIs to beta test solutions on the USAJOBS Open Opportunities platform.

SkillsEngine implemented a solution that translated free-form job and skills descriptions into a standardized, jargon-free lexicon using its data library. This provided real-time upskilling opportunity suggestions for current employees and measured their percentage fit for roles. The partnership with SkillsEngine helped OPM proactively serve its workforce, resulting in a platform with over 42,000 users and nearly 15,000 active users in the past year.
