Why You Need a Skills Architecture Framework

Draup’s Skills Architecture Framework offers a robust, AI-driven methodology to help enterprises transition from rigid job-based models to dynamic, skills-based architectures, tailored for the AI era. Traditional roles are no longer sufficient to manage the rapid changes brought by generative AI, which has disrupted workloads, created skill gaps, and made it difficult for companies to find “AI-ready” talent.

The framework focuses on deconstructing jobs into granular workloads and tasks, then mapping them to Root Skills , Core Skills , Soft Skills , and Tech Stacks . Using insights from over 850 million job descriptions and 17,500+ curated skills, Draup enables companies to understand workforce capability gaps, forecast future skills, and enable precision talent planning
