Understanding your current abilities is the first step to growth. Our module allows you to measure and formally validate your knowledge.

  • How it works: Take skill assessments, complete coding challenges, and submit projects to test your expertise. Passing these evaluations earns you a verified skill badge, proving your competency to employers. For example, a data science assessment might test your understanding of models like linear regression.

3. Identify and Bridge Your Skills Gap πŸ’‘

Once you've chosen a target role and assessed your current skills, we connect the dots for you. The Skills Gap Analysis is your personalized roadmap for what to learn next.

  • How it works: We compare your verified skills against the requirements of your desired role. You'll get a clear, visual report showing which skills you have mastered and which ones you need to develop. We'll even suggest relevant courses and projects to help you close the gap.

4. Build a Shareable Skills Profile πŸ§‘β€πŸ’»

Your resume lists your experience, but your Skills Profile proves your capabilities. This is a dynamic, credible showcase of your verified talents.
