Development of a Machine Learning Decision Support System for Adapting Educational

Content to Labor Market Requirements

Abstract:

This paper proposes the development of a machine learning decision support system aimed at
enhancing the alignment between educational content and the dynamic demands of the labor
market. The process involves several key steps, beginning with the collection of data from
diverse sources such as job postings, industry reports, and feedback from stakeholders including
employers and educators. Following data preprocessing to clean and standardize the data, feature
engineering techniques are applied to extract relevant features such as skills, knowledge areas,
and geographical locations. Machine learning algorithms, particularly those incorporating natural
language processing, are then employed to build a predictive model mapping educational content
to labor market demand. The performance of the model is evaluated using metrics such as
accuracy, precision, and recall, ensuring robustness and generalizability. Once developed, the
decision support system is integrated into educational platforms or career counseling services,
providing real-time recommendations to users based on current labor market trends. Continuous
monitoring and iteration are essential for the system to adapt to evolving labor market dynamics
and improve accuracy over time. By facilitating the acquisition of skills in demand by
employers, this approach aims to empower students and job seekers in making informed
educational and career decisions. The process begins with comprehensive data collection from
diverse sources, including job postings, industry reports, and stakeholder feedback. Through
meticulous preprocessing, the data is cleaned, standardized, and prepared for analysis. Feature
engineering techniques are then applied to extract pertinent information such as skills,
knowledge domains, and geographical preferences. Utilizing machine learning algorithms,
particularly those integrating natural language processing, a predictive model is constructed to
map educational content to current labor market demands. Rigorous evaluation metrics,
encompassing accuracy, precision, and recall, ensure the model’s reliability and generalizability.
