De Montfort University.https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14154/76799This thesis presents the design and implementation of a cloud-based artificial intelligence (AI) system for automating skill gap analysis and training recommendations in Human Resource (HR) departments. It applies a decision tree model to compare employee skills with job requirements, identifying areas for development and suggesting personalised training paths. The system achieved an accuracy of 0.86 and demonstrated strong interpretability and usability among HR professionals, offering a scalable and explainable AI solution for workforce development.This dissertation presents the development of a cloud-based artificial intelligence (AI) system designed to automate skill gap analysis and provide personalised training recommendations in Human Resource (HR) departments. The system integrates employee profiles, job role requirements, and training histories to identify competency gaps using a decision tree algorithm. The AI model achieved an accuracy of 0.86 and demonstrated strong interpretability and efficiency in recommending relevant training paths. Usability testing with HR professionals confirmed the system’s practicality and reliability in supporting workforce development and data-driven training strategies. The research contributes to the field of HR analytics by combining Human Capital Theory with Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) to provide an explainable, scalable, and cloud-enabled HR decision-support framework.58enCloud ComputingArtificial IntelligenceHuman ResourcesSkill Gap AnalysisDecision TreeTraining RecommendationMachine LearningHR AnalyticsThesis
