The goal of phase one of the Job Data Exchange™ (JDX) was to develop a data standard for job descriptions and postings, supported by open data tools, to improve how quickly and clearly employers communicate in-demand jobs, skills, credentials, and other hiring requirements to education partners, learners, and job seekers. The goal of phase one was developed and achieved through five strategies.
The JDX phase one pilot started in October 2018 and ended in December 2019. At the end of the JDX pilot, seven pilot partner teams were created across eight states that involved 19 employers (only 13 employers participated in the JDX pilot test and evaluation) and 12 talent sourcing providers (e.g. educational institutions, training providers, and staffing organizations).
