How do I link skills to a training program?

Last reviewed 11 October 2026 · Part of Training administration

The Skills tab defines which skills will be awarded to participants when the training is closed.

Adding a Skill

1. Click the Skills tab
2. Fill in the inline form: Skill Type (picklist), Skill Level (picklist), Description
3. Click Add Skill

Skills use the same picklist values as the Employee Skills section, ensuring consistency across the system.

How Skill Assignment Works

When a training program is Closed (status transition from Completed to Closed):

• The system creates or updates skill records for every participant who completed the training
• Each skill record is linked back to the training program via TrainingProgramId
• Fields set: Trained=True, Acquired=True, TrainingDate, TrainingInstitution (program title)

Note: The setting Auto assign skills on close must be True for automatic skill assignment.
