About this template
A job skills map links roles to the skills they require, organised by job family and skill cluster. Hover a job to see the skills it needs; hover a skill to see which jobs require it. It turns a workforce or sector into a navigable network of roles and competencies.
For educators, this is how you connect a program to the labour market: line up the skills a curriculum develops against the skills real jobs demand, and gaps or over-emphasis become obvious. For workforce and careers teams, it maps pathways from roles to the capabilities behind them.
Fork it, rename the job families to your sector, add the jobs and skills, and connect each job to the skills it requires.
When to use it
- You are aligning a curriculum or program to real job-market skill demand.
- You work in workforce development, careers, or employer engagement.
- You want to show career pathways from roles to the skills behind them.
- You need evidence for program-market fit or an industry advisory board.

Frequently asked questions
- How does a job skills map help with curriculum?
- It lets you compare the skills your program develops against the skills real jobs demand. Skills with high job demand but no curriculum coverage are gaps; heavily covered skills with little demand may be over-weighted.
- How is this different from a curriculum map?
- A curriculum map is about courses and outcomes inside a program. A job skills map is about the external labour market — roles and the skills they require. They’re most powerful used together to show program-market fit.
- Where can I get skills data for real roles?
- Public frameworks like O*NET (US), ESCO (EU), or your national skills taxonomy provide role-to-skill data you can import. You can also build it from job postings or employer input.
