SkillsMap AI: Turning Invisible Work into Recognized Skills
A community-governed system that turns women's lived experience into skills recognized by hiring and workforce systems, supporting fair decisions and economic opportunity.
Hiring algorithms often overlook women's informal work, reinforcing inequality. SkillsMap AI translates caregiving, community leadership, and other lived experience into skills recognized by hiring and workforce systems, organized into three clear pathways: stability, growth, and autonomy. Partners use this infrastructure to support up to 10,000 people in making stronger career decisions. The community-governed approach reduces bias by validating skills before they enter hiring systems.
