Introduction

Depending on your platform settings, you may be asked to identify your skills on the basis of your job role, and to carry out a self-evaluation on them. Take some time to select your skills and to self-evaluate 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 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 uploaded by other users and associated to the skills you have identified

More information about identifying and self-evaluating your skills on the desktop platform

Identifying and Self-Evaluating Your Skills

Every time the Admin of your platform assigns you to a set of skills, upon logging into your mobile app you will see a pop-up informing you that you can manage and improve your skills. You may see the pop-up several times, depending on when your Admin activates new sets of skills, and associates them to you.

If it’s the first time you configure your skills, and you have never done this activity on the desktop version of the platform before, tap on Get Started in the pop-up 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. 

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

Select now up to 10 skills among those suggested. You may have the possibility to look for other skills manually, using the search box. You will be able to select more skills later in the My Skills section of your profile or in your Skills Dashboard, up to 50 skills in total. Tap on Next and self-evaluate yourself on the skills you have selected. When finished, tap on Done to complete the process. 

You can change the selection of your skills at any time by accessing the My Profile area of your app from the main menu and moving to the My Skills section. Read the chapter below for more information.

Managing Your Skills

If you have already configured your skills on the mobile app or on the desktop 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 main menu of the app, tap on the arrow icon on the right of your profile picture, name and surname (at the bottom of the menu), then tap on the My Profile item.

On the My Skills page, you will view the job that you have previously selected, but you can change it by tapping on the pen icon, 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 rating you set during your self-evaluation. You can update the rating or delete the skills. Tap on the ellipsis icon in the skill’s row in the list to find the two options. 

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 you can set a maximum of 50 skills on your My Skills or Skills Dashboard page.

The My Skills Channel

Once you have completed your self-evaluation, reach the My Skills page from the main menu of the app.

The main page of the My Skills channel is already populated with content (formal courses or informal assets) related to the skills you have selected. 

Use the Filters panel to filter the displayed content according to one or more of your skills or to the content publication period. 

In order to see the content on the page, tap on the content’s card.

Please note that you can reach this channel at any time also from the All Channels page, and that you can view and 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.
