Bridging Lebanon’s Skill Gap: Introducing JOBSEEQR’s Learning Pathways
Despite an overwhelming 88% of Lebanese companies in tech and digital sectors actively searching for full-time hires, many still can’t find the talent they need.
That’s according to a World Bank study, and it confirms what many of us have been feeling for years:
The gap between education and today’s job market is widening, leaving thousands of talented Lebanese job seekers underqualified for the roles they aspire to.
But instead of just nodding in agreement with the data, we took it personally and decided to build something that would actually make a difference.
Meet Learning Pathways, JOBSEEQR’s latest feature built specifically to help Lebanese talent close that gap and become truly job-ready.
What Is Learning Pathways?
When you click on the Learning Pathways section and fill out your preferences, our system gets to work.
It takes a deep dive into your CV, profile, and the job’s qualifications. Then it analyzes your strengths and pinpoints the exact skills or experiences you need to improve based on your goals. As a result, it builds a personalized learning journey designed to help you close those gaps, step by step.
Basically, learning pathways creates a personalized learning plan tailored just for you, based on your:
- Target role (e.g., Software Engineer, Marketing Specialist)
- Industry focus (e.g., Tech, Pharmaceutical, Finance)
- Course preferences (paid, free, or both)
- Target companies (e.g., Google, Meta, Pfizer)
