Commentary: A Data‐Driven Analysis of Recent Job Posts to Evaluate the Foundational Competencies

Abstract

AbstractThe Focal Article (Ackerman et al., 2023) provides a comprehensive framework and detailed guidelines to faculty, students, and measurement professionals. We used a data‐driven approach that examines recent job posts (including full‐time positions at academic institutions, nonprofit organizations, and for‐profit companies, as well as internship positions) to evaluate the match between the skills required by the jobs and the Foundational Competencies and provide summaries and recommendations thereof.
