If Career Paths are enabled and set up in your Academy, you are able to follow specific Career Paths. Career Paths are connected to skills, and will guide you through the skills required for a specific job.
Navigation
In the left navigation, make sure you are in the Learner Workspace.
When in the Learner Workspace, select Development and then select Career.
The Career Map
The Career Map shows all possible jobs you can follow, and how close they are to your current job. The distance takes the overlapping skills, as well as where the job is on the organizational structure, into account.
The percentage in the middle of each job shows your current job score.
Job Overview
On the right you can see more information about the jobs you can follow in list view. It shows you your current job, the jobs you follow, and the jobs you might be interested in.
Viewing Your Progress for Followed Jobs
If you select a job, you will be brought to an overview that can help you better understand how you are doing and where you can improve:
- Skill Strength Gap: Your current skill strength in the skills connected to this job, compared to the required strength.
- Skill Strength over Time: How your skill score has been improving in the chosen time frame.
- Job Strength: Your current job strength. This is based on your skill scores for the skills in this job, which is a mix of manager assessments and online assessments - it is possible that one is taken into account more than the other.
- Learning Overview: Training with skills that are required for this job. Click on View Job Training to see which courses you can take to improve your job strength
Following a Career Path
If you are looking at a job you do not follow at the moment, you can easily follow it by clicking Follow Job in the top-right.
Note: If a user has successfully completed all the courses included in a specific job’s Career Path and there are no additional suggested courses available, but their average score for Online Training remains low, then this indicates that the skills linked to the Career Path are weighted towards manual assessments. Users would need to receive a manual assessment for this skill to improve their skill, and thus job score.
To ensure an accurate representation of the user’s progress, an assessment - whether it is manual or online - must be completed for each skill associated with the job. If no assessments have been taken, the system will automatically consider the user’s proficiency in those skills as 0%, which can impact the overall score.
Note: Learners only receive automated scores in a career path after completing an exam connected to the skills relevant to this career path. The rest of the scores are based on manual assessments.
