Workforce Services Apps

A new Generative AI enabled app has been created to make it easier to match Job Seekers with available Job Opportunities. The app makes it easier for Employers to describe, in terms of required competencies, the jobs they want to fill and for Job Seekers to include within their Resumes the competencies they have acquired. Finally the app enables both Job Seekers and Employers to find the best matches between the Job Seekers and the Job Opportunities. Initially this Workforce app has been designed to support the Navajo People.

Our ultimate objective is to place 1,000-1,500 Native American Peoples (building upon our relationship with the Navajo and Blackfeet Tribes) into net-new quality ‘Thriving Wage Jobs’ or better paying jobs in the period 2025-2027, and for this number to increase annually as the range of jobs with validated competency maps and the number of Native American job seekers complete guided upskilling plans increases. Traditional methods for creating job competency maps, job-seeker profiles and learning plans are labor-intensive. Usage of Generative-AI, large job-related data stores and online digital learning materials will accelerate the gathering of data about jobs, job seekers and learning opportunities for job seekers. We will scale and localize job candidate data with novel, AI-driven “interview” tools. We now anticipate a factor of 100 increase in the number of job maps and job seeker profiles created for the Navajo, Blackfeet and other Native American Peoples.
