Project Description


Aussie Career Map helps to make smart career decisions based on realtime Australian job market data. Did you know that even after the COVID-19 pandemic, job vacancies have gone up by 38% in Australia compared to pre-COVID? This means although some industries like Hospitality, Beauty are affected by pandemic, some might have actually blossomed or sustained. Our app combine Australian Skill Mapping dataset with Australian Internet Vacancies Index Metrics to find out the best career transition pathways for a user that suits the current Australian job market trend.

Use Case 1: Find In-Demand Careers that Require Same Skillset (Experienced)

Discover occupations with same skill requirements but have more vacancies in Australian job market.

Example: Hair dressers are out of job due to the NSW Lockdown in 2021. But there are other 8 occupations that require exactly same skills but have currently more vacancies in the market.

Use Case 2: Find Easy Career Upgrade Paths (Experienced)

Discover occupations that require less than 3 or less skill improvement and have highest number of job openings.

Example: If Bill (Hair Dressing) improves 3 Skills he can qualify to over 8 new Occupations.

Use Case 3: Find Easy Career Upgrade Paths (New Workers/Youth)

  • Select an occupation to see the required skill sets
  • Bonus: See other occupations that match the exact skill sets but have more vacancies in Australian job market. Hence makes you make the smart choice!

Example: Matt is interested to pursue a career in *Sales and Marketing** and he uses Aussie Career Map to find which skills he has to acquire for that. In addition to the skill list, he also sees a suggestion that the General Manager occupation requires the same skill sets but have more vacancies in current Australian Job Market*

Data Story


We explored the possibility of combining two career related datasets to help users make smart career choices tailored to current Australian job market.

Australian Skills Classification Dataset provides the skill mapping to help identify if all other occupations that match a selected Occupation. We have developed this algorithm and included in the Evidence of work.

The Internet Vacancy Index dataset helps to find out the occupation with most number of vacancies in the current month in Australia.

We combined both these information to suggest user the smartest career moves available to them at present.
