| Abstract | Nowadays, the changing nature of work in the labor market due to technological advancements has put pressure on workers and organizations. Upskilling and reskilling have become common to ensure workers possess the necessary skills. Graduates often find themselves working in fields unrelated to their education, but the availability of digital materials and online education has made it easier to acquire the required qualifications. However, the vast number of online courses makes selecting the right curriculum challenging. Recommender systems have been proposed to assist with course selection but mostly focus on formal education. This study suggests further research on recommender systems for non formal education. The Thailand Professional Qualification Institute (TPQI) has developed the Professional Qualification Framework to assess and certify individuals’ competencies. Integrating this framework with other systems, such as ontology, can facilitate knowledge representation and connection between systems. However, in Thailand, there is a lack of machine-readable representation for the professional qualification framework and occupational standards. Therefore, this study aims to develop a course recommendation system that utilizes the professional qualification framework and occupational standards, using an ontological framework to match occupations with related courses. |
