How Career Development Works with Profiles

In Oracle Fusion Cloud Career Development, you can add active profile item catalogs as target outcomes for a development goal. You add target outcomes to help employees to adapt to the current role or to prepare for a future role.

You use Oracle Fusion Cloud Enhanced Talent Profiles to track employees' skills and competencies. In Oracle Enhanced Talent Profiles, administrators create content templates that represent talent content such as competencies, certificates, skills, and awards. You can use these content templates to create the content sections necessary to capture talent data. You can further define specific skills and credentials called item catalogs for each content section.

What You Need to Do Add Target Outcomes

These conditions must be met to add target outcomes to a development goal.

  • The Target Outcomes feature needs to be enabled for Oracle Career Development.

  • Relevant content sections with item catalogs must be configured in Oracle Enhanced Talent Profiles.

Which Content Templates You Can Use for Target Outcomes of Development Goals

While configuring sections for target outcomes of development goals, you can use only these content templates:

  • Certifications

  • Competencies

  • Education

  • Honors

  • Languages

  • Memberships

  • Special Projects

  • Skills

Remember that you can't use these content templates:

  • Accomplishments

  • Area of Study

  • Career Preferences

  • Career Statement

  • Education Level

  • Highest Education Level

  • Technical Post Details

  • Work History

  • Work Preferences

When You Can Add Target Outcomes to Development Goals

Irrespective of the configured profile content section access, you can add target outcomes to development goals and edit and save the goals. You can add target outcomes to development goals when you perform any of these actions:

  • Add or edit a development goal.

  • Create a development library goal.

  • Mass assign development goals.

How an Employee's Profile is Updated

When a development goal that has target outcomes is completed, the employee's talent profile is updated to include target outcomes.

Did you know that you can add ratings to target outcomes?

  • When approvals are enabled, only the manager can set the rating of a target outcome before it's added to the employee's talent profile.

  • When approvals are bypassed, the employee also can set the rating that's added to the talent profile.

This image shows how Oracle Career Development works with Oracle Enhanced Talent Profiles. As you can see in the image, some competencies are defined in the content library of Oracle Enhanced Talent Profiles. These are available for you to add as target outcomes of development goals for an employee. In the image, the Machine Learning Skills target outcome is added to the Improve proficiency in deep learning development goal of Alex Anders. When Alex Anders completes this goal, the ratings assigned for the Machine Learning Skills target outcome is updated in Alex Anders' Talent profile.

The content library has content templates for competencies. Competencies has two content sections: Leadership and Functional. Machine Learning Skills and System Analysis skills are two item catalogs for Functional competency. The Machine Learning Skills competency is added as a target outcome to the Improve proficiency in deep learning development goal of Alex Anders. The rating for this target outcome is added to Alex Anders' profile after the development goal is completed.
