Skill development is mission-critical for today\u2019s enterprises to keep up with the rapid pace of change. But, unclear role expectations are slowing down skill development and leaving employees with questions. For example, What skills do I need to be successful at my role? How do I know if I\u2019m meeting expectations? Where do I need to improve and how should I go about it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To answer these questions and streamline skill development, L&D and HR leaders must focus on three things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With new Degreed functionality, you\u2019re equipped to accomplish this, guiding employees to develop the skills needed to be successful in their roles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s use Cynthia, a fictitious Software Engineer, as an example. Cynthia just started at Acme, Inc. She held a similar engineering role at her previous company, but she\u2019s curious how expectations differ at Acme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When Cynthia logs into Degreed, her profile automatically includes the skills that Acme prioritized for her role, along with the target proficiency level for each skill. There\u2019s also a description for each skill and proficiency level, so she can understand the behaviors she should exhibit to reach the target level. She can then use this information, along with a Maestro Skill Review Coach<\/a>, to identify and set her current proficiency level in her profile.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once she establishes this baseline, Cynthia can focus her development on filling any gaps. Degreed makes this process straightforward by creating a dynamic skill plans for Cynthia which is automatically populated with content targeting skill gaps for her priority skills. The plan is unique to her current proficiency levels and displays content that will help her progress to the next skill level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n And when she searches for additional resources, she won\u2019t lose any more time sifting through content that is too basic or too advanced. Instead, she will quickly find content that matches her specific proficiency level and where she is in her development journey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As a result of this process, Cynthia now knows what skills are expected of her, where she needs to improve, and what resources will help her grow the skills that matter most. This certainty and access to right-sized development resources will accelerate her skill development and increase engagement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Personalized learning experiences used to be an exclusively manual process that was too time-consuming to scale. Now, AI handles the manual work so L&D and HR leaders can focus on more strategic work, like defining which, role-based skills are required to align to business objectives<\/p>\n\n\n\n In Degreed Learning, the admins can upload a list of organizational roles, which skills are associated with those roles, and what target proficiency levels are for each. They can also set the priority skills they want to appear on employees\u2019 profiles to target skill development.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow Admins Can<\/strong> Automate at Scale<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
