U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation

Since 2018, HR Open Standards has been partnered with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation on the T3 Innovation Network and the Job Data Exchange (JDX). These closely related projects align to the mission of HR Open Standards, which enables innovation in the HR Technology Industry by providing a turnkey solution to the problem of data exchange.

The T3 Innovation Network embodies HR Open Foundation’s mission of fostering education within the global HR technology industry to improve career pathways and achieve better and more equitable employment outcomes. Through our collaborations, we’re able to bring technical solutions to the dual challenge of the Skills Gap and the Talent Gap that is facing America. These gaps are making it difficult for employers to fill many positions and have made the need for efficient and effective technical solutions all the more urgent.

An extension of the T3 Innovation Network, the JDX is a real-world technical solution to the communication barriers that exist between employers, government, and educational institutions. Rather than introduce an additional standard into the industry, the JDX aims to leverage the standards already in order to provide a cooperative environment where data can be exchanged easily between multiple organizations. This will allow State, Federal, Education, and Private Sector forces to communicate effectively and focus their development resources on solving the employment challenges that face America.

“In today’s talent marketplace, data is king. However, in order to organize, manage, and share data effectively we need a solid foundation of interoperable data standards starting with data on jobs. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation is excited to partner with HR Open Standards to update and improve the JobPosting Schema, leverage it as part of the Job Data Exchange (JDX), and make the data that results from it more shareable with a credentialing organization and learners through the T3 Innovation Network”
