DISCLAIMER: Some content in this article outlines how to use functionalities that will be publicly released to all clients at the end of October 2021. If you see differences between this article and your platform, check back at that time for updated content.

Introduction

Depending on your platform settings, you may be asked to identify your skills on the basis of your job, and to carry out a self-assessment on them. Take some time to select your skills and to self-assess them, so that your platform will then help you in filling your gaps and deepen your knowledge on the areas you are already familiar with. 

Once you have identified and self-evaluated your skills, your platform then will then populate the My Skills channel with different types of content, depending on how the platform Admin set up the platform:

• formal courses associated with the skills you have identified for yourself
• assets and contributions loaded by other users and associated to the skills you have identified
• fresh aggregated content from around the world related to your skills

Identifying and Self-Assessing Your Skills

Every time the Admin of your platform assigns you to a set of skills, upon logging in you will see a pop-up informing you that you can select your skills out of the set, and perform a self-evaluation on them. You may see the pop-up several times, depending on when your Admin activates new sets of skills, and associate them to you.

Click Get Started if you want to take some time for this activity, or Not Now to postpone it. There is no time limitation for this activity, but we suggest you start your upskilling process as soon as possible. 

After clicking Get Started, the skills selection process will ask you to identify your job in the company, so that the platform will propose you the skills in line with your position. Start typing your job description, select one of the available options proposed by the autocomplete function and press Next to proceed. 

Select now up to 10 skills among those suggested. Depending on the platform configuration, you may have the possibility to look for other skills manually. Press Next and self-evaluate yourself on the skills you have selected. When done, click on Save to complete the process. 

You can change the selection of your skills at any time by accessing the My Profile area of your platform from your main menu and moving to the Skills section.

Managing Your Skills

If you have already configured your skills in your platform and you want to make some changes, go to the My Skills section of the My Profile area. To reach the My skills section, open the drop-down menu, go to the bottom of the page and click on My Profile.

On the My Skills page, you will view the job that you have previously selected, but you can change it by clicking on Change Job, so that we can recommend some skills in line with your new position.

On the page, you will also see the list of skills that you selected, and the level you set during your self-evaluation. You can Update Rating or Delete the skills. Tap on the ellipsis icon in the skill’s row in the list to find the two options. Please note that if you delete a skill, you will no longer receive updates on the content related to that skill.

If you want to add new skills, tap on the plus button on the bottom right corner of the My Skills page, then select one or more skills among those suggested. You may have the possibility to look for other skills manually, using the search box. Tap on Next and self-evaluate yourself on the skills you have selected. When finished, tap on Done to complete the process. 

Remember that the you can set a maximum of 10 skills on your My Skills page

Please note: if you have selected a skill within a skill set, and your admin has deleted that skill from the skill set, you will continue to see it associated with your profile.

The My Skills Channel

Once you have completed your self-assessment, you will be automatically redirected to the main page of the My Skills channel, already populated with content related to the skills you have selected. 

Please note: the channel can also be called in another way, depending on your Superadmin configuration.

Remember that the content related to the Skills you have selected may be divided into multiple channels.

Use the Filters panel to filter the displayed content according to one or more of your skills or to the content publication period. You can reach this channel at any time either from the main menu, either from the All Channels page or from the My Skills page. 

You can manage the content of the My Skills channel as you do for any other channel. Find out more on how to manage channels and their content and on how to share content.

Managing Content in the My Skills Channel

The content populating this channel is collected by the artificial intelligence of your platform every few hours. If a piece of content is not relevant to you, mark it as Not Interesting by clicking on the menu icon of the content card, and selecting Not Interesting. This action will also help the platform to track unwanted content and to improve its future content suggestions.

Please note that based on the Administrator configuration you may see content in the My Skills channel and only for the external content you can select the Not Interesting option.
