Follow these steps to define two segments in the Competence Key Flexfield and to set up the rating scale and competency. Also, follow these steps to enter language skills held by your employees and contingent workers and to apply the values defined to employees and contingent workers. Recording foreign language skills enables you to assign jobs to people who have the required skills.
Define two segments, foreign language name and code, in the Competence Key Flexfield. See: Defining Segments, Oracle Applications Flexfields Guide
Create the rating scale to measure the foreign language skill for the type Proficiency. For example, create a rating scale entitled "Language Scale", whose type is Proficiency, with levels of 1- Reads and translates with vocabulary (basic level), 2 - Reads and can speak (intermediate level), up to the highest level of proficiency, 3- Speaks fluently. See: Defining Rating Scales, Oracle HRMS Workforce Sourcing, Deployment, and Talent Management Guide
Create the competency for each foreign language skill you want to record. Next, attach the rating scale to the competency. For example, create a competency if you want to record "German" as a language skill for employees. Attach the rating scale to record the level of proficiency. See: Defining Competencies, Oracle HRMS Workforce Sourcing, Deployment, and Talent Management Guide
Assign the competency to an employee using the Competency Profile window. For example, select the employee for whom you want to record the foreign language skill and level of proficiency. See: Creating a Competency Profile, Oracle HRMS Workforce Sourcing, Deployment, and Talent Management Guide
