When a current workforce's skill set doesn't align with the skills required by their job or a role, we have a skill gap. Despite the negative connotation associated with the meaning of a "gap," this is a good thing. This mismatch opens an opportunity for individuals, as well as companies, to improve.

Skill data can become an important source of insight to empower individuals as they map their career path and goals. It is also a boon to decision makers who need to make sure they have the right people in the right roles to deliver on their organization’s goals.
