When you create a worker's training plan, you select a series of competency areas the worker will fulfill. These competencies, which track skills in the Core, Specialized, Related, ODJFS, and Agency-Specific areas, are set up in the system so that they can be selected in worker training plans. Before you add a competency area, you must always search to make sure it does not already exist in the system.
You can edit a competency area record to change the competency area name, number, description, comments, or status.
To record a competency, complete the following steps:
From the Home screen, click the Administration tab.
Click the Training tab.
Click the Competencies link in the light blue menu on the left. The Competency Area Search Criteria screen appears.
Enter the search criteria.
Select the Show Inactive check box to include competencies that are inactive. If the competency exists but is currently inactive, you can activate it rather than create a new record.
Click the Search button. The competencies that met your criteria appear in the Competency Area Search Results area.
Click the Edit link next to a competency you want to update.
Or, click the Add Competency Area button to add a new competency. The Competency Area Details screen appears.
Complete the fields to fully describe this competency area.
If the competency is inactive and you want to reactivate it, clear the check mark in the Inactive check box.
Click the Save button. You are returned to the Competency Area Search Criteria screen.
