Placement Matching

Category: Prescriptivec Analytics

Though not specifically a learning application, the potential to employ placement matching services is of direct interest to students. These are applications that would match students with potential co-op placements, internships or job recruitment opportunities. These analytics are also of interest to recruiters and employers. Examples include services like Ziprecruiter (Lunden, 2018) and the Government of Canada Talent Cloud. (OECD, 2018) The Treasury Board of Canada is piloting Micro-missions, which use AI matching to support “short-term, voluntary opportunities for employees to showcase and develop their skills, and to build networks by contributing to different projects while remaining in their work units and substantive positions. Micro-missions are an informal way for employees to gain experience and for managers to get support for projects that require specific knowledge or skills. They also help foster an agile workplace and workforce.” (Secretariat, TBS, 2016)
