Our market-driven skills service offers an extensive database of skills through Lightcast for you to leverage. With this enhancement, your organization will be able to speak a common language of skills, standardizing skills across Bridge. This is available to all customers who have Skills in Learn, Perform, or Develop enabled.
With this feature, you will also get the Bridge Skills Community Page which will include the following:
- The ability to view relevant courses within Skills Communities
- Easier access to Skills Communities through the main navigation
- Dedicated communities for interests and skills
- Improved user experience
In addition to this navigation change, there will also be a minor navigation change for admins. Skills and job titles will now be managed in the ‘Talent Marketplace’ tab in the administrator settings, in order to make the Bridge admin settings more intuitive.
FAQs
What will happen with your current skills?
If administrators have previously added custom skills to Bridge, or if managers have added skills to be assessed, those skills will remain and data will not be lost. Moving forward, only administrators will be able to create custom skills that are not found in the Bridge Skills Library.
How will this change benefit you and your organization?
- You can ensure that your people are speaking a common language of skills, making it easier to form skills communities
- Interests (like watching 90s cult classics, playing the marimba, and other activities) and Skills will now be distinct in Bridge. Interests will continue to be free-text, while skills will be defaulted to our Bridge skills database.
- Standardizing skills nomenclature is critical to reporting and gaining insights on the skills your organization has and wants to improve
How are learning materials determined?
Learning materials are determined by associated skills. Admins and Authors can tag courses with associated skills from within the authoring tool.
