How do I add a goal to a focus skill in my career development plan as an employee?

After selecting a focus skill, you can add a goal to the focus skill. Adding a goal to a focus skill enables you to plan and track your progress in mastering that focus skill as part of your career development plan. You can create a new goal directly from the Career Development Plan page. All newly created goals and changes you make to the goals in your Focus Skill Builder will be reflected in your Goals page and will be visible to your manager.

Note: You cannot associate focus skills with goals that have already been created in your Goals page.
