This study demonstrates how ESCO can be used to enrich the European e-Competence Framework by linking it to a broader set of skills and knowledge concepts. Using semantic technologies and text mining, the authors enhance the practical usability of competence frameworks for education and labour market applications.
This paper combines text mining techniques with ESCO to extract and standardise skills from EU policy documents. By building a network of co-occurring skills, the study identifies key competences and clusters emerging across policies, providing valuable insights for education and training design.
This research explores how digital and green skills intersect within Europe’s workforce. Using ESCO’s taxonomy of green skills, the study identifies how sustainability-related competences are distributed across AI professionals. It highlights skill gaps and geographical concentrations, underlining the need for targeted training and workforce planning.
