Select the button to begin the Get Started wizard. This wizard guides you through the process of selecting which skills you currently have, which skills you want to develop, and which skills you do not want to develop. See Skills Profile - Get Started Wizard.
Critical Skills
If you belong to an organizational unit (OU) with an associated capability model, a Your Critical Skills table is displayed on your Skills Profile. This table outlines your critical skills, predicted proficiency ratings, targets, and status for the proficiency target. If you are aligned to multiple competency models with different proficiency targets for the same skills, the highest proficiency target is displayed. If a skill does not have a proficiency target, then it is not displayed in this section.
Your predicted proficiency rating is an amalgamation of all declared ratings for you (Self, Manager, and Peers) and your skill level that can be inferred from your job history and job title.
