Solution description: 
SaveDopamine is a platform that supports public and private organisations in the skills development of their employees, by matching employees’ skills to projects with the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

In order to succeed, organisations nowadays have to be dynamic, flexible and adaptable and need to strive for constant performance optimisation. Individuals also need to adapt by constantly learning and improving their skills. What is key in this process is that organisations and employees are aligned in their goals and values. For that reason, we came up with a solution that aims at fostering employees’ motivation for upskilling and reskilling. Our aim is to match projects driven by these goals and values with skills needed in the workforce.

SaveDopamine is an AI-based solution that is able to identify skills gaps, track skill development, recognise project challenges and match the employees’ profile with certain tasks. The tool also creates an intra-company marketplace where the demand of skills is driven by the project specifications. A reward system helps support the company's goals and give the employees an incentive to further train themselves and choose a learning path sponsored by the company.
