Prerequisites
Perform the following tasks before setting up the Plan Careers business process in HR:
Set up HCM basic data, such as department codes, business units and geographic locations.
Set up HR job data for employees.
(optional) Set up job and employee profiles.
(optional) Set up training programs for employees.
Employee job data must exist in the Workforce Administration tables before you work with the Plan Careers pages. If you've implemented multiple business units and setIDs, the information that you use and create is determined by how business unit and setID functionality is set up for your user ID. You must define the job codes that you use in default career paths to populate identifying information from the Job Code table into the Career Path table.
To enable you to easily view employee's prior work experience, the Succession Planning-Prior Work page is accessible from the Plan Careers business process.
Use the Manage Profiles business process to create profiles for your organization's jobs and employees. A significant part of planning careers is identifying worker strengths and developmental areas and establishing goals to help workers improve in their developmental areas. You can copy competencies from employees' profiles to their career plans or from the career plan to their profiles.
Use the Manage Profiles business process to specify a person's current location, location preferences, geographic preferences, international preferences, and travel
Profiles are discussed in PeopleSoft Manage Profiles.
Use the Administer Training business process to help workers develop the skills they need for their current position, to acquire the knowledge they need for their next position, and to develop alternate career paths. Training programs are discussed in PeopleSoft HR Administer Training.
See Setting Up Courses.
You can link one or more training programs to a job code to establish default training programs for employees who have this job code. Courses can also be defaulted into employee career plans, enabling you to tailor training to the individual needs of each worker.
