Project Beacon: Competency Intelligence Engine

---

Project Beacon is Third Coast Learning’s initiative to develop and field-test an emerging Competency Intelligence Engine, an AWS-funded and powered system for competency framework development, alignment, and expert review. 

The Competency Intelligence Engine is designed to help organizations work with existing materials—training documents, job descriptions, standards, curriculum, literature, whitepapers, draft competencies, or framework artifacts—to produce structured, traceable, and machine-readable competency outputs. 

Following the initial AWS Partner Program-funded Proof of Concept (POC), Third Coast Learning plans to select pilot partners for POC validation testing, structured feedback, and documented use cases that may support future Minimum Viable Product development, Small Business Innovation Research funding, and similar extended commercialization pathways.
