Abstract
University education is becoming more student-centered and personalized in recent years, whereas connections between professional skills and learning outcomes are recognized vaguely. The article proposes an approach to create relations between skills that students acquire in a higher education process and those required in various careers. The approach makes it possible to trace consistency between course material, educational programs, and professions. Thus, the implementation of skills and interdisciplinary connections allows to build the most relevant individual learning tracks for a specific career and provides students with valuable recommendations. The proposed approach is implemented in ITMO University’s (Russia) web service “Educational Program Maker,” initially designed for education process management. The system ensures the development of educational program elements, provides a platform for describing relations between educational entities, and enables users to choose a curriculum for a specific profession.

Summary
Numerous fields of knowledge develop promptly. skills required in different industries become irrelevant quickly. One set of keywords can define the educational plan’s academic courses, and the other one represents the necessary professional skills. These sets’ inter-section shows which disciplines are most likely to lead to acquiring the skills necessary for the chosen profession. Multilayer model exploration would allow building individual learning pathways within the educational program and recommend them. The paper is composed as follows: section two introduces related work in the field of curriculum design, personalization, and evaluation, section three provides a detailed discussion of the methods for individual learning pathway creation, while section four presents the implementation of the proposed approach. We conclude with an overview of the approach implementation and an outline for future work
