Do you want to know what to study to access better job opportunities? Do you already have a job but feel you need to update your skills or change direction?

Today, there are platforms that help identify the most in-demand occupations, the skills they require, and the training programs that facilitate access to them. These tools rely on data science, which makes it possible to process large volumes of information from job vacancies, sector studies, surveys, and other sources.

In this blog post, we briefly explain what they are, why it is important to promote their development in Latin America and the Caribbean, and how the IDB supports countries in the region in designing and implementing them, adapted to their productive realities.
