What is a skills matrix?
A skills matrix (also called a training or competency matrix) maps every employee against every skill their job requires, with a proficiency level, who verified it, and when. It's the document auditors open first to test competence.
Are these resources free?
Yes. The skills matrix template and the career tools are free with no signup. A free Skill Passport saves your work if you want it kept.
