Abstract

In modern society, competent employees are an important asset for any organization to be competitive. Employees can be competent in their jobs when they have required skills imposed by the organization to which they belong. Providing necessary skill sets to each employee can be cumbersome because their background and existing skill sets are different; so any uniform training attempt may be inefficient and costly. So in order to provide necessary skills to each employee effectively, the training must be customized. In our approach, we analyze employees' existing skill sets using their learner profile and determine necessary training by comparing organizations' required skill sets. We utilize European Skills, Competences and Occupations classification (ESCO) and Dublin Core to store available Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) courses using the concept of learning object and learning object repository. We then present required training in terms of a study plan that includes a list of MOOC courses.
