Once you, as an academy admin, have enabled the Skills Management feature for your academy, you are ready to find and add the desired academy skills. The skills that you will add will be the ones that will be assessed on each user. So, you need to determine which skills are relevant to your Academy.
In the left navigation, make sure you are in the Academy Workspace.
When in the Academy Workspace, select Development Admin for all Development Administration options.
Select Skills and then select Manage Skills.
Adding Predefined Skills
Schoox provides you with several common skills you can use for your academy. These are found in the Skills Database. The skills provided are of the default type. To see all of the available system-defined skills click on the Add from Database button.
A list of skills will appear. You can filter the results based on the Industry you are interested in, the Tier, and the skills category.
If you want to add one of the system-defined skills to your academy, select it under Actions and click Add to Academy.
Adding Custom Skills
If you cannot find a predefined skill you like, you can add a skill manually.
Select the Skill Type and Category, give the skill a name, and give it a description. After that, scroll down and click Save.
Once the skills have been added to your academy, you can edit them based on your needs, or add a translation in a different language. Just go back to Manage Skills and click on the Edit icon.
Please note: The languages available here are the UI languages you have selected in your Academy's settings. Each user will see the skill titles and descriptions that are saved for their UI language.
Don’t forget to Save your changes when finished!
Grouping Skills
Once you have added all the appropriate skills you can put them into groups for easy distribution.
When in the Academy Workspace, select Development Admin for all Development Administration options.
Select Skills and then select Group Skills.
In the column on the right, there are all the skills that are associated with your Academy. To add skills to a group click the plus symbol. You can remove any skills by clicking on the x.
The next step is associating these skills and skill groups with specific jobs and courses!
