Description

Essex County Council (ECC) are seeking to create a single 'digital front door' under the project name CO0541 Essex Connector, that will connect residents and businesses with Essex based employment, training, and skills opportunities. Using conventional automation as well as Artificial Intelligence, Essex Connector will deliver Careers Information Advice and Guidance along with personalised recommendations relevant to users' interests and requirements. Essex Connector will also seek to streamline access into employment and skills opportunities by creating talent pools for employers and providers alike. The full specification of the tool is currently being devised but at present the following are aspects that we strive to incorporate within the solution: • AI-led Careers IAG 'careers co-pilot' • Careers Quiz • Skills & qualification Integration/Analysis • Employer Profiles and Spotlights • Development of an Essex Talent Pool It is our current intention that the connector is procured as a fully managed technology solution with a technology provider engaged to develop, implement and provide ongoing hosting and updates/developments of the product. The approach will be to identify the right partner to assist us with running a proof of concept (POC), allowing us to explore and understand what is possible prior to implementing a final lager scale solution. Attached to this Early Engagement Notice, you will find a survey that will help us to understand the shape of the market.
