The Profession Path tool enhances career development for professional learners. This solution integrates self-assessment and learning recommendations for learners to benchmark themselves against standards, identify their skill gaps, and create a personalized plan for professional development.
|
Note: The Profession Path tool is available in English only. |
Administrators set up and manage the following components for learners within the Profession Path Admin:
- Job levels
- Areas of focus
- Questions for learner self assessment
- Recommendations for professional development activities
Additionally, administrators can export learner data to a CSV file.
|
Tip:The Profession Path tool is particularly effective for organizations and associations with an established competency or standards framework and a content library that includes Brightspace courses, documents, seminars, conferences, or actionable resources. Profession Path utilizes a 4-point Likert scale in the self assessments so you can direct learners to the best resource recommendations based on their response level. |
