Learning new skills empowers people to achieve their goals more effectively. TalentLMS helps you provide opportunities for your users to learn new skills or improve their existing skills so they can grow within your organization or increase their performance in their current roles while boosting their engagement and motivation throughout their training.
Skills in TalentLMS is a feature that allows you to create new skills on your portal for your Learners to pursue and develop. Use our AI-powered tool to generate brand-new skills on your portal based on your industry’s requirements.
Learners can advance their skills to the next level through an assessment, and they’ll also be able to access a number of potential complementary courses and external resources.
First, let’s take a look at the Skills tab under Account & Settings.
| Note: Skills is still in beta and is available to Pro and new Enterprise plans. If you’re on one of these plans and you would like to test it out, please contact our support team. |
To activate Skills on your TalentLMS domain:
1. Sign in to your portal as an Administrator and go to Account & Settings > Skills (1).
2. Toggle the Skills switch (2).
