Skills: Create and edit a Skill profile

In this article, we'll explain what a Skill profile is and how to create/edit one. 

A skills profile is a way to group and organise skills, allowing you to assign them flexibly without being restricted to specific job titles. This approach enables a more dynamic and scalable way of managing skills across your organisation. For example, you might create a skills profile that includes:

  • 8 core skills relevant to all employees
  • 15 department-specific skills applicable to an entire team
  • 10 job-specific skills tailored to a particular role
  • 8 leadership skills for managers and aspiring leaders

This flexibility allows you to map skills efficiently without getting lost in the complexities of defining skills for every individual job title. However, if you prefer a more detailed, role-specific approach, that option is always available.

We'll cover how to:

Create a skills profile

  1. Browse to Learn admin
  2. From the Skills menu, select Profiles:
  3. Select Add profile:
  4. Enter a name for your profile:
  5. Select Add skill
  6. Select the Skills you want to add
  7. Select Add skill to confirm your selection:

Note: There is no limit on how many profiles you can create or on the number of skills that belong to each profile.

Edit a Skill profile

  1. Browse to Learn admin
  2. From the Skills menu, select Profiles:
  3. Select the name of the Profile you wish to edit

Available options are:
