One foundation. Seven connected apps. Powered by LER.me.
EBSCOed's flagship Talent Marketplace ties together every front door of the workforce ecosystem — citizen-owned records, credential registries, hyper-personalized recommendations, consumer-choice training, federal & state aid eligibility, coordinated case management, and the Pathsmith Durable Skills Marketplace — into one open, citizen-owned platform. Like Amazon Marketplace, but for talent.
Why one platform, seven front doors
Most workforce technology tries to be everything in one interface, and ends up serving no one well. EBSCOed's LER Talent Marketplace takes the opposite approach. It's seven purpose-built apps — each tuned for a specific user, job-to-be-done, and decision moment — all sharing a single back end: the same Credential Registry, the same citizen-owned LER, the same open standards, and the same identity layer.
A learner using the wallet sees the same credential a state administrator approved through case management, that an employer published as an opportunity, that a college issued through the registry. One source of truth. Many lenses on it.
What's in the marketplace
Credential Registries — the open catalog of programs, occupations, opportunities, and wraparound services. Standards-aligned and AI-parsed.
Learning & Employment Records (My LER) — the citizen-owned wallet. Programs, skills, experiences in one verifiable, portable record. Nine ways to add credentials.
Hyper-personalized Recommendations — four lanes: Opportunities, Learning Paths, Careers, Wraparound Services. Ranked against the LER. Every rec backed by a real registry record.
Learner Career Services — voice & chat-first program comparison with proprietary scoring (Value, Employability, ROI, Blended). Embeds Consumer Choice Training.
Workforce Eligibility — 40+ federal & state aid eligibility calculators incl. Workforce Pell (institution + student tests).
Workforce Care Team — coordinated case management modeled on clinical care. AI-assisted WIOA workflows, native scheduling & chat, ambient case notes, R1–R14 reporting. Price-match.
Durable Skills Marketplace — exclusive Pathsmith Marketplace subscription. 10 domains, 74 skills, 4 proficiency levels. Context-aware + simulation assessments.
Plus two embedded companion apps: ConsumerChoiceTraining.com (voice & chat front door for "find me training that actually pays") and RightFitFirstTry.com (interest, strength and fit-to-LER career matching).
The marketplace model
- like Amazon, for talent
EBSCOed's first-party apps are the reference implementation of every standard in the LER.me ecosystem. They are excellent, integrated, citizen-free, and ship with the registry, wallet, and identity layer.
But the platform is also open to partners. Like Amazon Marketplace, third parties build their own apps — state-branded talent marketplaces, employer hiring & apprenticeship apps, EdTech learning experience platforms, community workforce navigators, veteran & military spouse pathways, justice-impacted re-entry tools, industry-specific assessments — that plug into the same registry, wallet, and standards. One ecosystem. Every door.
Pricing
- price-match guarantee
The full platform is offered as an annual SaaS subscription. EBSCOed will price-match any local, regional, or state workforce board's current annual contract pricing with a competing platform. Same dollars. Modern platform. Everything included.
