    • T3 Guidelines were update March 2022.
    • OCFC Network Charter is up for review and feedback.
    • The T3 OCFC Network Wiki provides information about this network, its workgroups, and is the place to find shared materials.  https://wiki.t3networkhub.org/wiki/OCF_Collab_Network.
  2. Requirements Workgroup on Skills - Naomi Boyer, Chair; Jeanne Kitchens, Facilitator
  3. Competencies and Technical Advisory Group - Steve Gance, Chair; Phil Barker, Facilitator
    • Met per the OCFC Calendar
      • Held 10 meetings between September 2021 and May 11, 2022.
      • Finalized the Data Ecosystem Schema Mapper (DESM)Tool Project Plan and development of the DESM tool Configuration Dashboard is underway. 
      • Working on expanding upon the use cases developed by RWSC to define requirements for the OCFC Search Service Project plan to include piloting. Visit the Use Cases Wikispace to view the use cases OCF Collab Network:rwscUCanalysis.
      • Next Steps
        • Review the TAW Charter for potential updates.
        • Complete and pilot the DESM tool.
        • Complete the OCFC Search Service Use Cases/Requirements.
        • Develop the Search Service Project Plan.
        • Build off the existing search and pilot the Search Service.
  4. Discussion: AI’s Role in Scaling Competency Data
    • Visit the AI use cases Wikispace AI Use Case Scoping: Discussion Resources.
    • Themes from the discussion, AI will play a vital role in scaling competency data that is important to all T3 Networks.  Each T3 network need reliable sources for competency data for numerous use cases and actors. Scaling Competency Alignments and Mapping
      • generating semantically-based competency alignments between competencies and other resources (e.g., credentials, assessments, learning opportunities, jobs, work roles, tasks, etc..) Scaling Competency Analysis
      • accelerating currency of competency trends
      • drilling down to micro or up to macro details such as geographic significance
      • protecting identity (companies and individuals)
      • providing measures of competency alignment
      • removing bias and increasing equity Scaling Competency Data Search Sources
      • extracting competencies with context from documents (e.g., competencies from job postings and job descriptions with the context of the job specialty)
      • improving cross-competency searching (e.g., automating alignment for competency disambiguation)
      • living representations of competencies (rather than static one-time information)
      • providing curated data for research and benchmarking

Next Steps:

  1. New T3 Guidelines are available, take a look.
  2. Complete the search name ideas survey.
  3. Prior to the next OCFC Network meeting, we’ll provide suggestions for any potential OCFC Charter updates for member’s to review and provide feedback.
  4. RWSC will collaborate across T3 Networks to develop a summary for T3 supporting the growth of AI solutions for scaling competency data.
  5. Participate with the bi-monthly OCFC update meetings.
