Questions and answers

A clearer way to understand the pathway.

Learn what happens after a CV upload, how matching works, and what SkillsGap.gy can and cannot promise.

Getting started

What does SkillsGap.gy do?

SkillsGap.gy helps you connect the experience you already have to realistic opportunities in Guyana’s local-content economy. It shows which skills may transfer, what you still need, and what training could help close the gap.

Who is SkillsGap.gy for?

It is for Guyanese workers, career changers, and people exploring a route into the oil-and-gas value chain. You do not need to know the exact job title before you begin.

Do I need to upload a CV?

No. You can explore public positions, training, or build a career route from your interests and CSEC/CXC starting point. Uploading a CV gives the applicant pathway more information to work with.

Your CV and matches

What happens after I upload my CV?

First, your PDF is uploaded privately. We then read it for skills and work history. When reading is complete, you review and confirm the suggestions before they affect your matches.

How long does CV reading take?

It depends on the document and current processing time. The dashboard updates automatically while your CV is being read, and it tells you when there is something you need to do.

Does the system decide whether I am qualified?

No. CV reading produces suggestions supported by evidence. You confirm what belongs on your profile, and the matching rules compare your confirmed skills with the published role requirements.

Are the matches a promise of employment?

No. A match is a guide to where your confirmed experience may fit and which requirements may still need attention. Employers make their own hiring decisions, and vacancies can change.

Privacy and trust

Who can see my CV?

Your uploaded CV and extracted profile stay private to your applicant account. An employer only receives candidate information when you choose to share your profile for a role.

Can I correct what the CV reader found?

Yes. You can confirm, dismiss, correct, add, or remove skills and update work-history details. Only the information you confirm is used for your applicant pathway.

How current are the training and vacancy details?

Training dates, fees, entry requirements, medical checks, offshore safety rules, and vacancies can change. Always confirm current details directly with the provider or employer before spending money or making a move.

Training and employers

How does SkillsGap.gy recommend training?

The platform connects missing role requirements to training pathways in the catalogue. The goal is to help you choose the next useful step instead of sending you to a long list of unrelated courses.

Can training providers add their programs?

Yes. Training providers can manage their profile and programs, including the skills or qualifications each program supports. New providers can prepare their listing while verification is pending; only verified providers appear in public recommendations.

Create a training provider account
Can companies use SkillsGap.gy?

Yes. A company owner creates a personal employer account and requests a company workspace. After administrator approval, the owner can publish roles, review applicants who have consented to share, and invite recruiters through private links. Recruiters join using a company account and an owner invitation.

What should I do if I am not sure which route fits me?
