TEXT MINING OF JOB PROFILES: FINDING RELEVANT JOB SKILLS IN DIFFERENT INDUSTRIES

Abstract

Pandemic and rapid technological changes in the era of Industry 4.0 have unleashed new job opportunities making some obsolete. Young professionals are not skilled enough to take up these jobs resulting in increasing unemployment. A lot is being written about the skills requirements in various industries. However, none of the study talks about the recent skills mentioned in the new job profiles created for entry-level positions by companies of various industries. This study examines (through text mining) job profiles of several companies operating in different industries to identify the skills that are most sought after in these sectors. This will help young professionals to know and acquire necessary skills required to work in industry of their choice. Educational Institutions can revamp their curriculum or design new courses/programs keeping in view the industry requirements, thus, filling in the skill gap.
