[HR] What is the difference between HR Training and HR Skills?

Created by Crystal Ann Harvey, Modified on Tue, 26 Aug at 8:22 AM by Crystal Ann Harvey

Vista allows you to record both HR Training and training classes as well as HR Skills.
While similar there are some differences in these two forms.

The HR Codes form has various types of Codes including: Training Codes and Skill Codes.

HR Training is intended to document the training the employee has received.
HR Training Classes are intended to formally schedule and train the employee and document the Training received.

HR Training Class with Training code

Training classes can include a Skill so that the net result of the training is a Skill.

Skills Tab of the HR Training Classes Form

Skills can also be documented separately.

For example, an Operator with Crane Operation experience can be considered a Skill that the employee had upon hire.
If the employee brings these skills upon hire, this can be added to the HR Resource Master as a Skill, independently from Training.
