Check my readiness for a role

Looking for one named skill rather than a subject? Every competency employers name has its own page, and every role on the map lists the ones its seat asks for.

Questions

What is a focus area?
A focus area is the subject a piece of AI governance work belongs to. The 65 areas below are the controlled vocabulary the whole map is filed under: every competency names one or more of them, and so does every graded topic.
How is a focus area different from a skill?
A skill is one competency an employer names in a posting; a focus area gathers the competencies that belong to the same subject. There are 57 competencies across the 65 areas, so most areas hold several.
Where do I start?
Pick the area closest to the work you want, then open the competencies under it to see which roles ask for each one and where it is taught. The readiness check does the same in one pass for a whole role.
