Skills Information

You can define skill types to record the qualifications, knowledge and experience provided by training activities.

You have considerable freedom in how you hold skills information in Oracle Training Administration. You can define each skill type as a Special Information Type using the Personal Analysis key flexfield. This means that you can define different data entry fields for each skill type if you want to vary the information that you hold or the way it is recorded. You can also determine how each field (or segment of the flexfield) is validated.

For example, you might set up a skill type called Management with the following segments:

competence (with a list of valid values such as Project Planning, Negotiation and Budgeting)

level (with a list of valid values such as A.1, B.1, B.2, and so on.)

You can record skills against training activities, as expected outcomes. You can also use skills as selection criteria when you are searching for events that match a particular profile.

If you use Oracle Human Resources, you can record the skills held by employees, applicants, external students, trainers,and other people held in your system. You can also select skills as requirements for particular jobs and positions in your enterprise, and use this information for skills matching.
