SkillGraph: Are You Ready for Your Tech Role? 🚀

how many of you have faced this problem?

You are a student, you have done a few projects, you have learned a few things but you don't necessarily know if you're ready for a role or not.

And even bigger problem is sometimes you don't even know if you are meant for that role.

So we have built this tool called skillgraph that solves that problem for us.

Now this is not something that's just created by me.

I am part of a five team project that was assigned under Chittaranjan Pradhan, one of the best teachers that I have had pleasure of studying under.

And what I have done is built out this tool that will help us with exactly the problem that every student who is about to graduate is facing.

I have learned a few skills, I know a few skills that I'm really good at.

But am I ready for the job that I want?

And sometimes even I don't really know what role is best for me but maybe I'm focusing towards one thing.

What what other skills do I need to be ready for this particular role?

So here I have an example.

This is a tool that we have built.

Let's for example I have picked up a few skills.

I'm good at React, JavaScript, SQL, fast, API and Java.

Let's see for example I want to see if I would be good at backend for example right?

And let's just go and see my skill map and this will be load getting loaded and based on this I am just 15% ready based on the three skills that it has now what it also tell me that I am actually 53% ready for full stack and also before we try to jump into full stack and see what other skills we could learn now, it would also tell me that the next few things that I could learn to increase my points to like about 14 points that spring boot or microservices or hibernate, if I can learn these skills.

These are the most occurring skills that have come in all the postings that we have done.

We a quick study.

actually we actually started with about 99,000 pieces of data which included every job posting in the Indian market.

We normalized that, we cleaned up the data removing every non tech related job, we'd normalized it, we removed all the duplicates and now we are Left with about 12,000 to 13,000 Indian tech jobs that were relevant to us for training our data now the training part is done by Aditya.

And all of these calculation that you see here, everything from readiness score, the calculation of it, finding what is the best score done through a Priory algorithm and what we have done is something really interesting is now what you can do is actually find out based on skills that you've already chosen and the role that you're going for.

These these are few skills that you need to learn and to get better for that role.

Or what you can do is you can quickly just move on to for example Full Stack.

Maybe you want to now be more ready for Full Stack.

Then you get to see what else other skills you should be actually preparing for to be ready for your Full Stack role and the job interviews that you give.

What else this skill graph does is also gives you the top 20 skills that for example for Full stack came from 901postings for full Stack.

So this is one of the few projects that I've learned a lot from.

Now I'm going to also give you few mentions of my other team members.

Archit Kumar, he built out the whole FAST API connection system that is some of the hardest thing to do especially when you have a three member team who is building out the whole backend and now that needs to be connected to front end.

So he helped us build all the API connections that now actually show us all the data with perfect accuracy.

And finally a lot of credit to Shashank.

I'm gonna mention everyone in my LinkedIn post hopefully.

And he helped us create this beautiful front end and yeah that's about it.

This is skill graph that we have built over the last two weeks and yeah we love it.

I hope this actually helps students figure out the next skills that they need to learn for their internships and placements.
