EKOS & IFQ Classification

What is EKOS?

EKOS (European Key Occupation Standards) is a competency taxonomy used to tag LEAST lessons with recognised occupational skills. EKOS tags make lesson content discoverable by employers and connect it to the LEAST career tools.

The platform includes 215 EKOS competency areas. AI enrichment automatically suggests EKOS codes for lessons; administrators and educators review and approve these suggestions.

EKOS Workflow

  1. AI enrichment runs on lessons and proposes EKOS codes
  2. Proposals appear in System → EKOS Awaiting Review (system/ekos_awaiting.php)
  3. Review each proposal: Approve, Edit and Approve, or Reject
  4. Approved codes are applied to the lesson record
