Advanced Learning

The Advanced Learning features enable you to manage many aspects of talent management. Talent Management is a set of holistic and strategic organizational activities that span the employee life cycle from pre-hire through retire. These activities include how you attract, select, train, develop, promote, and move employees through the organization, as well as include in the overall success of a high performance organization. Often talent management initiatives are driven by core organizational goals (and cascading goals), competencies, and skills.

The Advanced Learning menu provides the features needed to do that from within LearnCenter. Major functions within the feature set include Skills Definition, Competency Mapping, Job Profile Definition, Job Profile to Skills Mapping, Individual tracking of Skills, Skills to Course/Class Mapping, and Individual Learning Plans. Using this robust feature set, managers can more efficiently deploy their human capital, thus delivering improved business results.

Setting Up Advanced Learning

The LearnCenter enables you to create relationships or links between items. These links are referred to as mappings. Mappings work together to present training content and other information to Users. Job Profiles are the central feature through which all Advanced Learning mappings are created. For this reason, Taleo Learn recommends you build your inventory of talent management items for Advanced Learning in the following order:

Ratings
Skills
Competencies
Certification Tracks (Optional)
Learning Plans
Goals
Job Profiles

Later, you can measure individual’s progress toward organizational goals and skill achievement by creating Forms (appraisals). You can also monitor progress using reports.
