Building a Competency Library

Once you've defined your competency categories, you can create and manage a comprehensive library of competencies within the Library section.

Each category (Knowledge, Skills, Behavior, Attitude, and Administration) is displayed on a card, along with the total number of competencies associated with it. To add new competencies to a category, simply click the Add button.

By clicking on a specific category card, the list below filters to show only the competencies within that group. You can then select an individual competency from the list to view its full details in the main panel.

For each selected competency, the platform displays its definition, the Linked Job Families (such as Engineering), and a detailed breakdown of Competency Levels (Level 1 through Level 5) with specific proficiency indicators for each stage.

Note: Access to the Grow module and its features is restricted to users with the appropriate permissions, as defined in the Roles and Permissions section of the Settings.
