Description

A skills-evidence and opportunity-matching prototype for reintegration after incarceration, focused on the skills a person chooses to share rather than their history.

This is a prototype. The results below describe its evaluation.

My contribution

  • Built a user-selected skills passport using a bounded synthetic catalog
  • Used TF-IDF retrieval to rank fictional opportunities and simulated pathways
  • Kept incarceration as the problem context rather than a model input

Outcomes & evidence

  • A prototype for exploring skill-to-opportunity matches and supporting evidence
  • User-selected skills drive the experience, not a prediction about a person's past or future
  • Demonstration opportunities and pathways, not verified placements or issued qualifications
