Understanding Skills Center

Skills Center helps employees to align with the business and cultural needs of the organization through adaptive and continuous management of their skills. Building the skill set in your profile lets you access opportunities that match your skill development needs and showcase your capabilities.

The Skills Center for employees:

• Utilizes Oracle HCM Skills Advisor to present system-generated skill suggestions based on the employee’s job, careers of interest, peer skills, and existing skill set, enabling the employee to add skills to their profile in a well-informed and consistent manner.
• Presents suggestions to drive connections and skill development opportunities to fuel the employee’s growth.
• Supports validation of individual skills through co-worker endorsements and development activities, thereby fostering a sense of community and engagement.
• Is accessible on the employee’s device of choice, including desktop and mobile.

You can highlight your current skills by adding them to your profile. Once they are added, you can mark them as skills you already have or skills to develop. You can also access a co-worker’s Skills Center and add skills they should be developing or endorse skills they already have.
