Adding Job Roles and Skills
ArcLab Skills Passport lets you define Job Roles for your organisation’s learners with Skills and Requisite Learning to track their Individualised Development Plans.
Defining "Skills"
We recommend starting with Defining Skills that fulfil the requirements for Job Roles that you would define later.
Select “Learners” at the top your Dashboard >> Select the “Skills” menu tab >> Click “Add New Skill” green button.
In the “Add New Skill” pop-up window, you can:
- Name your Skill
- Define how long (in months) each Skill’s Credential is valid for
- Set the Skill Pathways (ArcLab modules / folders) that learner can complete to satisfy this Skill
External Courses
You can allow certificates from courses outside the ArcLab platform by toggling on the “Enable Learner upload” button at the top right of the pop-up window.
An alternative way is to Upload External Certificates on behalf of your learners. This can be done by clicking the “Upload” icon at the right of the toggle button.
PDF, PNG and JPG file formats are accepted, and you can upload multiple certificates at one go by Selecting all the files you wish from your computer (Ctrl-A / Cmd-A to select all files in a folder), following this file naming format: <ArcLab learnerID>_<Expiry Date of Certificate>. Note that Expiry dates are optional.
After upload, ArcLab would add each uploaded certificates to their respective Learner’s Skills Passport, using the ArcLab ID in the file name.
ArcLab modules (internal courses)
Selecting “Add Skill Pathways” will open up your list of published ArcLab modules and folders that you can select to meet the Skills critieria.
Select the relevant module(s) or folder(s) using the checkbox column, then click the “Add” green button at the bottom right.
Back in the main “Add New Skill” pop-up window, click “Add Skill” green button at the bottom right.
You’ve now defined a Skill which can be applied to Job Roles.
