Overview

Track employee skills, certifications, and licenses. Features include expiry tracking with automated alerts, competency gap analysis, training record management, and integration with scheduling for qualification-based shift assignment.

Highlights

Build a live workforce readiness graph that maps people, roles, skills, and coverage gaps at a glance.
Track certifications and licenses as dated validity periods with guided renewal and point-in-time compliance.
Alert employees, managers, and admins before credentials expire — by email and in-app — on configurable lead times.
Ask AI about skills, gaps, and renewals, or paste a project brief and let it propose a team from your workforce.
Verify employee-submitted skills through a manager approval workflow that re-checks whenever a credential changes.
Feed shift and role eligibility so only qualified employees can be scheduled against skill-gated work.

Use cases

Certification renewal tracking
HR watches dashboards of certifications expiring within 7, 30, and 90 days; the system emails and notifies the employee, their manager, and admins on a configurable lead time before each deadline.
Role coverage and readiness
A manager opens Team Readiness to see which role-required skills are under-covered, who can cover each gap, and which at-risk employees also carry skill gaps — then assigns the missing qualifications.
Staffing a project from a brief
A manager pastes a project description or RFP into Team Builder; the AI extracts the required skills, proposes a team from the existing workforce, and lists the gaps the project would expose.
Manager skill verification
An employee adds a skill or certification and it stays unverified until their manager reviews it from the team view; updating a verified credential automatically resets it for re-approval.
Point-in-time compliance audit
After an incident, an admin runs the reports 'as-of' a date to confirm exactly which employees held a current, valid certification on that day using the period history.
Compliance document capture
An employee uploads a safety license or professional credential (PDF, image, or Word, up to 10 MB); required-document skills can be blocked from counting until the file is attached.

FAQ

It requires a license and is opt-in per tenant — an administrator enables it for your business from the Apps Marketplace, and it is disabled by default until then. Contact your MangoApps administrator about turning it on for your organization.

Each certification is stored as a dated validity period with a start and expiration date. As the expiration approaches, employees, managers, and admins are alerted by email and in-app on a configurable lead time. Renewals are recorded manually: the renewal flow supersedes the old period, opens a fresh one, and re-enters it into verification — so you keep a full history rather than overwriting the record.

Yes. Managers get a Team Skills view of their reports' skills and proficiency, plus a Workforce Readiness Graph with a People Graph explorer and a Team Readiness dashboard that shows role coverage, who can cover each under-covered skill, and where skill gaps overlap with at-risk employees. Admins also get organization-wide reports and expiry dashboards.

An Ask AI agent answers questions about skills, certifications, expiring credentials, role requirements, gap analysis, and renewal timing in chat. Team Builder takes a written project brief or RFP and proposes a team from your existing workforce while flagging the gaps it exposes. The app can also run an autonomous loop that proposes expiry and gap-closure actions every 15 minutes, which require approval by default.

You can attach supporting documents to a certification in PDF, JPEG, PNG, DOC, or DOCX format, up to 10 MB per file. Uploading a new document for an already-verified skill does not reset its verification status.

When an employee adds or updates a skill it is marked unverified and the manager is notified. The manager verifies it from the team view; updating a verified skill resets verification, while uploading a document does not. For employee-proposed new skills, a reviewer can map the proposal to an existing catalog entry or create a new one. Compliance-sensitive tenants can hide submissions from the profile until they are approved.

Skills & Credentials is the system of record — the catalog, the skills matrix, certification lifecycle, and readiness graph. Training (LMS) delivers courses, and Practice Hub runs skill practice and assessments; when an employee completes a course or passes a practice check, those apps write the resulting skill or certification back into Skills & Credentials automatically. You manage the credentials here; you earn them there.

Skills Tracking, Certification Management, Competency Assessment (which powers the readiness graph and manager surfaces), Training Records, and the 'hide submissions until approved' verification gate can each be enabled or disabled independently per business from the app settings.
