Skill communities are groups organized around Bridge skills that facilitate mentoring opportunities. Skill communities show your peers which skills you are interested in learning more about and which skills you are willing to help your peers develop. You can access skill communities by searching for skills in the Bridge directory or by clicking the skills listed in an employee's profile.
To view a list of default Bridge skills, visit the Bridge Default Skills PDF.
