Add a skill to specific people's profiles, with the level you expect each of them to reach. Use this for skills that aren't covered by someone's job role.
Before you start
You need Admin access. Skills doesn't appear under Manage for other access levels.
The skill must already exist.
Assign the skill
In the sidebar, select Manage › Skills, then select the skill's name. The skill opens in a new browser tab.
Under People, select View All People, then select Add People.
Search for each person and tick them. People who already have the skill show Already added and can't be ticked. You can filter the list by Job Role.
Each person you tick gets Target Level: 3 (Competent). To change it, select Target Level on their row and pick a level from 1 to 5. For example, choose 2 for a new starter who only needs to know the basics, or 4 for a team leader who coaches others.
Select Add People.
Note: Each person (other than you) gets an in-app notification saying their skill list has been updated by you.
You'll see "added to." The person appears in the People list with the source Assigned by Admin, and the skill appears on their Grow page.
Good to know
The person can't remove a skill you assigned from their own profile.
To give a skill to everyone in a job role, map it to the role instead. S
Line managers can add skills to their own team from Manage › Team.
