Welcome to Occumi - Helping you discover your transferable skills.

Experience how Occumi’s powerful skills identifying algorithm can help you to identify and understand your transferable skills, helping you to improve your employability in a matter of minutes.

Employers want to see your transferable skills

Employers are now putting a greater impetus on students showing that they have developed skills that can be transferred to the workplace during their studies. However, many students are not aware of this, meaning they struggle to sell themselves to employers.

Occumi uses a research backed algorithm to identify your transferable skills based on your educational qualifications and work experience. Learn why employers want your transferable skills, and uncover the opportunities that your skills can lead to!
