Liquid workforce platform

A system comprising:

• one or more computers and one or more storage devices storing instructions that are operable, when executed by the one or more computers, to cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
• obtaining data from internal sources that describes internal roles and skills corresponding to each of the internal roles;
• obtaining data from external sources that describes external roles and skills corresponding to each of the external roles;
• generating a skill relationship model that represents relationships between the internal roles, external roles, and the skills;
• for each of the skills:
• determining whether a difference between a degree of relationship, indicated by the skill relationship model, between the skill and an external role, and the degree of relationship, indicated by the skill relationship model, between the skill and an internal role matching the external role, satisfies a relationship threshold;
• in response to determining that the difference between the degree of relationship between the skill and the external role and the degree of relationship between the skill and the internal role matching the external role satisfies the relationship threshold, determining whether internal future supply for the skill satisfies internal future demand for the skill;
• in response to determining that the internal future supply for the skill does not satisfy the internal future demand for the skill, determining whether to train current employees in the skill;
• and
• in response to determining to train current employees in the skill, providing the current employees resources for training in the skill.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing software comprising instructions executable by one or more computers which, upon such execution, cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:

• obtaining data from internal sources that describes internal roles and skills corresponding to each of the internal roles;
• obtaining data from external sources that describes external roles and skills corresponding to each of the external roles;
• generating a skill relationship model that represents relationships between the internal roles, external roles, and the skills;
• for each of the skills:
• determining whether a difference between a degree of relationship, indicated by the skill relationship model, between the skill and an external role, and the degree of relationship, indicated by the skill relationship model, between the skill and an internal role matching the external role, satisfies a relationship threshold;
• in response to determining that the difference between the degree of relationship between the skill and the external role and the degree of relationship between the skill and the internal role matching the external role satisfies the relationship threshold, determining whether internal future supply for the skill satisfies internal future demand for the skill;
• in response to determining that the internal future supply for the skill does not satisfy the internal future demand for the skill, determining whether to train current employees in the skill;
• and
• in response to determining to train current employees in the skill, providing the current employees resources for training in the skill.
