Coordinator – Manage Skills, Competencies

(00:01)
Hello and welcome to eLeaP. In this quick tutorial, we want to take a look at the skills and competency system in the eLeaP platform. Once an account has skills enabled, you will see the main skills tab there. Please note that this is a renamable menu item, so your organization might rename it to something else. It might be competency, but simply just be alert and contact your admin if you’re not sure. But once you do have that enabled, you can click on the skills module there or tab there, and you’ll see the current listing of users that you manage and whatever skills that they have, you simply click on the user’s name and you’ll be able to see the details for that particular user.

So for example, James has seven skills. Six of them are advanced, one is intermediate. There’s a zero beginner skill. You would see the details of the skills as well as the current level and the attribution. How did they earn the scale? Well, I see a percentage, 15% from a course. We do have an option to earn scales from OJTs as well as a manual entry. So let me talk about these two options, the OJT as well as the manual entry.

So essentially what happens is, imagine the James performs on the job training session and earns a skill. It could be a CNC skill, it could be a lab tech skill, it could be a quality associates, it doesn’t matter. And you want to be able to associate that with this individual. You simply can go to the OJT section and you’ll be able to add a skill for this particular user. Right? So let’s say that James here earned a skill on the fourth, it was a 30 minute session, and because of that, they were able to earn a product knowledge skill.

I’ll give them a 25% attribution for that and I’ll basically save the record. And so what happens now is that once you go into the skills area for this particular individual, you’ll be able to see that this individual has that particular attribution that we just added in here for, I believe it was for product knowledge. Here we go. And there it is under the OJT option. So see how easy and powerful this is? It lets you capture essentially the entire training scope of your users.

The other thing you can do is if, let’s say James went to a conference, attended a webinar, a seminar, and they came back with proof that they earned additional skills, you literally can utilize the manual entry option here to be able to attribute that to them. So let’s say they went to a project management webinar or conference, they came back with what a document, a certificate that said earned a certificate from a PM conference. Well, you just go ahead and upload that certificate right here and you can hit save item. There are additional advanced options. Feel free to explore that. But again, this is how the eLeaP system allows you to be able to really drill down and provide a complete and accurate picture of somebody’s skills and competencies within your organization.

As usual, if you have any questions about this or any of the features in the system, please do not hesitate to contact us.
