A Competency Similarity Detection for Generating Career Path

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a method to detect a similarity of competency to generate a career path. Career path is important for students and workers for their planning in career. In this work, data of competencies from Thailand Professional Qualification Institute are used for generating a relation among units of competency (UoC) as a crossable path for career transfer. Similarity Score using ngram precision is exploited to find the commonness in UoC context to indicate the possibility in career relation. From an experiment, the proposed method gained 80% accuracy. As a result, career path is generated as a map for a person in career planning for both promotional path and crossable path.
