TIRANA, May 29/ATA/ The National Agency for Information Society (AKSHI), through contractor Communication Progress, has recently developed the National Employment Portal, for the Albanian National Employment and Skills Agency (AKPA), which uses ESCO to support the Albanian labour market leveraging on information such as work experience and skills of candidates.
The portal is free to use for a variety of actors, such as enterprises, associations, public and private employment organisations, and jobseekers. The portal has been designed in a flexible way, so that new functionalities can be added or improved in the future based on current needs of the national labour market.
The use of ESCO helps generating more accurate results when mapping job seekers and vacancies. The portal has the goal to collect, assign weights, and map information concerning: categories of occupations (at different level of granularity), national occupations, categories of skills, skills, and links between the occupations and skills categories. As a result, suggestions are based on evaluation points that indicate the level of compatibility between demand and supply of work.
Since its launch in 2017, ESCO’s uptake as a terminological standard for the digital labour market has been growing in Europe. //a.i/
