In today’s evolving job market, lifelong learning is essential for maintaining competitiveness. Workers must adapt to changing roles by identifying skill gaps and finding relevant training, yet this remains a challenge. This paper introduces a novel two-step approach combining generative and symbolic AI to support personalized lifelong learning. Large Language Models (LLMs) annotate résumés, job descriptions, and training offers with standardized vocabulary. A logic-based framework then detects missing skills and recommends appropriate training. Validated through real-world data, this method effectively supports skill gap analysis and tailored learning strategies.
