• Resumen

  • Non cognitive skills (NCS) are considered a specific subset of the so- called soft skills focused on behaviours and attitudes. Employers and HR experts agree on their importance for employability, prioritizing this type of skills versus specific knowledge or skills for an occupation. Albeit its importance, the present scenario is hindered by the lack of homogeneity in terminology and concepts as well as the absence of widely used standards. The Skills Match project has contributed to solve this situation, firstly creating a solid NCS framework which, in the end, enables a new approach to analyse the demand of skills in specific occupations with open data from big EU initiatives like ESCO or OVATE. This new approach and the results of data analysis are presented in this contribution.
