Team Upskill

<p>Team Upskill investigated effective upskilling strategies for engineers at Chalmers, focusing on overcoming challenges like identifying where to begin, the constraints of available tools, and processing large datasets. They adopted an iterative approach—starting with broad exploration before narrowing their focus—and highlighted the importance of rapid prototyping and adapting tools as needs evolve. This ensures a flexible, responsive path to skill development.</p>
<h4>Key takeaways:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Start broad, then refine focus.</li>
<li>ddress tool limitations proactively.</li>
<li>Rapid prototyping accelerates learning.</li>
<li>Adapt approaches to handle large data.</li>
<li>Stay flexible when choosing tools.</li>
</ul>

<p>The video introduces Team Upskill’s projects aimed at closing the skills gap for engineers through AI-driven tools. Viewers learn about Skills Compass for identifying knowledge needs, an AI-supported upskilling platform integrated with Canvas, systems for managing skill credits and communities, and forecasting methods for anticipating future training needs.</p>
<p>The team emphasizes the importance of ongoing education for engineers and shares prototypes and insights into digital solutions for effective upskilling.</p>
<h4>Key takeaways:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Skills Compass matches current and needed skills using AI.</li>
<li>The upskilling platform helps engineers find relevant short courses.</li>
<li>Skill credits and communities foster professional growth.</li>
<li>Forecasting tools help predict future training demands.</li>
</ul>

<p>The Upskill team introduced the "Skills Compass," an AI-based tool designed to match individual skills with job requirements. Users upload their CVs, and the AI identifies their skills, aligns them with job ads, and recommends suitable training courses, ultimately generating a digital skills passport.</p>
<p>The tool addresses challenges like varying skill taxonomies and inconsistent descriptions by using AI for standardization, though human input and enhanced course metadata remain essential for best results. </p>
<h4>Key takeaways:</h4>
<ul>
<li>AI automates skill extraction and matching to jobs.</li>
<li>The system recommends targeted learning opportunities.</li>
<li>Accurate results depend on both AI and quality input data.</li>
<li>Users receive a digital skills passport as a learning record.</li>
</ul>

<p>The video introduces Team Upskill’s work on using knowledge graphs to map and visualize the skills that individuals acquire, showing relationships and dependencies among them. Unlike traditional tables, knowledge graphs use nodes and links to represent how skills build on each other, helping users identify gaps and plan learning paths. This approach can enhance skills matching, guide educational growth, and provides a powerful tool for AI-driven analysis in education.</p>
<h4>Key takeaways:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Knowledge graphs show skills and their interrelations</li>
<li>Graph databases use nodes and links for deeper insights than tables</li>
<li>Useful for skills gap analysis and personalized learning paths</li>
<li>Enables AI applications to answer complex educational queries</li>
</ul>

<p>The video introduces Team Upskill's project aimed at improving the tracking, validation, and sharing of skills and competencies through a platform integrating AI and community features. Viewers learn about skill credits, microcredentials, and the importance of credible certification (e.g., through universities and platforms like Credly). Existing and envisioned platform tools include dashboards, AI-powered skill extraction from documents, mentor matching, and trend prediction.</p>
<p>The team discusses the role of AI versus engineering in building effective talent communities and supporting industry upskilling, emphasizing the value of alumni participation. They conclude that while AI can enhance experiences, much of the solution relies on robust engineering and institutional credibility.</p>
<h4>Key takeaways:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Skill credits make learning achievements visible and portable.</li>
<li>Microcredentials address specific industry skill gaps.</li>
<li>Credible certification and alumni engagement enhance platform value.</li>
<li>AI can support matching and trend analysis but is not always essential.</li>
<li>Strong engineering and community features are vital for success.</li>
</ul>

<p>The video by Team Upskill explains how AI-enhanced forecasting and tech radars can guide educational institutions like Chalmers in adapting to future skill demands, especially as fewer young people enter the workforce. By analyzing data from patents, research applications, job ads, and course offerings, they identify current and emerging technology trends and skill gaps. They also aggregate external forecasts and create interactive briefings to summarize key findings.</p>
<p>The video highlights challenges in adapting curricula swiftly and suggests deeper expert involvement through methods like the Delphi process. Ultimately, these AI-driven tools help ensure that educational programs remain aligned with industry needs, supporting both upskilling for professionals and training of new graduates.</p>
<h4>Key takeaways:</h4>
<ul>
<li>AI tools analyze diverse data to predict future skill needs.</li>
<li>Combining internal and external forecasts sharpens educational planning.</li>
<li>Regular industry and expert input ensures curriculum relevance.</li>
<li>Current university processes can lag behind industry trends.</li>
<li>Interactive summaries and expert panels enhance decision-making.</li>
</ul>

<p>The video introduces Team Upskill's mission to create an AI-supported platform that streamlines upskilling in industry, particularly for engineers. The platform allows teachers to easily upload and structure course material, generate syllabi and quizzes with the help of AI, and upload content directly to Canvas or company LMS systems. It supports the creation of micro-courses (1–4 credits) and aims to unify and tag course structures, facilitating modular and personalized learning.</p>
<p>Additionally, the development focuses on reducing teacher workload and enhancing course accessibility, with future goals to fully integrate the tool into Canvas and improve skill matching through better tagging.</p>
<h4>Key takeaways:</h4>
<ul>
<li>AI assistance simplifies course creation and management.</li>
<li>Direct integration with Canvas and LMS systems boosts efficiency.</li>
<li>Micro-courses and tagging support flexible, personalized learning.</li>
<li>Structured content enables easier skill matching and modular education.</li>
</ul>

<p>The Upskilling Industry project introduces an AI-supported platform designed to help engineers access targeted professional development courses. Integrated with Canvas and tailored for both corporate and academic needs, it streamlines access to hundreds of short courses, teacher support tools, user profiles, skills tracking, event modules, and a social-like community.</p>
<p>The platform aims to simplify upskilling, reduce onboarding barriers, and make professional growth more accessible to industry professionals and teachers alike. Future enhancements include improved onboarding via AI and deeper Canvas integration.</p>
<h4>Key takeaways:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Integrated with Canvas for seamless course access</li>
<li>Skills Passport tracks personal progress</li>
<li>Includes events and community features beyond Canvas</li>
<li>Focus on easy onboarding and user experience</li>
<li>Plans for further AI-driven guidance and testing</li>
