Skills-Based Scheduling & Planning
Skills & Certifications gives HR, managers, and schedulers one governed view of workforce capability: admin-managed skill catalogs, five-level proficiency, required certifications, document uploads, manager verification, expiring-cert dashboards, role-required skill matrices, career progression gaps, and skill-based scheduling groups.
What Skills & Certifications Helps You Do
Track Skills
Per-employee skill records with configurable proficiency levels, categories, active status, bulk assignment, CSV import, and manager verification.
Track Certifications
Required certifications, optional credentials, and licenses per role. Issuing body, date issued, expiration, and renewal cycle tracked per record.
Alert On Expiry
Dashboards surface certifications expiring in 7, 30, and 90 days, with in-app renewal alerts and needs-attention filters.
Analyze Gaps
Compare current skills against role-required skill matrices and career progression paths to identify matched, missing, and improvement-needed skills.
Schedule By Skill
Skill-based scheduling groups auto-refresh from qualification records so schedulers can find employees who meet role or certification requirements.
Feed Training
Skill and certification gaps flow into Training as personalized course recommendations. Completions update the inventory automatically.
Skills & Certifications In Practice
A practical scope check: what the app covers, which controls matter, and the workflows teams usually run first.
Core workflow
Track employee skills with proficiency levels and group them by category for a unified skills inventory.
Controls that matter
Verification Workflow includes Manager verification of employee-submitted skills and Verification resets when a verified skill is updated.
Scope and specs
Useful specs: Proficiency levels: 5 (labels and descriptions admin-customizable); Max certification doc size: 10 MB per file; Accepted document formats: PDF, JPEG, PNG, DOC, DOCX.
Certification renewal tracking
HR monitors a dashboard of certifications expiring within 7, 30, and 90 days and sends renewal reminders to affected employees before deadlines.
Manager skill verification
An employee adds a new skill or certification, triggering a notification to their manager who reviews and verifies the qualification from the team skills view.
Career path planning
An employee views their career progression panel comparing current skills and proficiency levels against the requirements for the next role in their hierarchy.

One skills inventory instead of a credential spreadsheet and a separate skills cloud
Skills data lives in three places at most companies — an LMS export, an HR spreadsheet, and an enterprise "skills cloud" no one trusts. Skills & Certifications puts skill currency, expirations, and scheduler gating in one app that the floor actually depends on.
Skilljar
External-facing certification and credentialing tool
- Credentials gate real operational decisions — schedulers can't assign a safety-critical shift to an expired worker
- Credential renewal tracks against the live HRIS, not a separate Skilljar contact list
- One platform covers both training delivery and operational credential enforcement
Degreed
Skills development and learning platform
- Skill picture stays accurate because completions, peer validation, and review evidence all flow into one inventory
- Frontline workforce included by default — no separate Degreed seat economy for shift employees
- Skills tie to scheduling, performance, and comp in one platform instead of three CSV bridges
Cornerstone Skills Graph
Skills inference layer on top of an LMS
- Skills are validated by recognition, peer endorsements, and completed work — not just AI inference from job titles
- Replaces a heavyweight Cornerstone add-on with a feature your existing platform already runs
- Audit-ready credential expirations with email + chat + push reminders flowing through the existing notification engine
Workday Talent Skills Cloud
Skills module inside Workday HCM
- Schedulers and supervisors check credential currency from the same mobile app — not a Workday Talent license they don't have
- Skill currency gates real shift assignments in real time, not as a quarterly governance report
- Per-employee suite license covers it instead of an enterprise HCM add-on per employee
HR spreadsheet + LMS exports
The DIY skills inventory
- Credentials, expirations, and renewals live in one auditable system instead of three CSVs and a shared drive
- Expiration alerts trigger automatically through the platform's notification engine — no manual reminder calendar
- One source of truth for audits, accreditation reviews, and safety inspections
PLATFORM LEVERAGE
Skills & Certifications inherits everything else MangoApps already does
A standalone skills cloud has to build, buy, or integrate each of these. Skills & Certifications gets them for free because the platform already runs them.
Identity & SSO
SAML/OIDC SSO, MFA, and SCIM provisioning already cover every credentialed worker. New hires get credential profiles on day one — no separate setup.
HRIS-synced workforce
Role, location, hire date, and termination flow from the live HRIS — credential tracking follows people through transfers automatically.
Scheduler & ops gating
Shift schedulers and supervisors see credential currency inline while assigning work — not as a quarterly compliance report after the fact.
Audit log & retention
Every credential grant, renewal, and expiration lands in the same audit log accreditation reviews and safety auditors already use.
Mobile app & notifications
Workers see their certs and renewal dates from the same branded app they open for shifts and pay. Reminders arrive where they actually read.
Workflow & automation
An expiring credential can trigger a training assignment, a manager reminder, a shift-eligibility update, and an HR ticket — one engine.
INDUSTRY FIT
Built for industries where credential currency is a real operational risk
Skills & Certifications matters most where an expired credential means a missed shift, a regulatory finding, or a safety incident.
Healthcare
RN, RT, BLS/ACLS, and unit-specific certifications track to expiration with scheduler gating that meets Joint Commission documentation review.
Manufacturing
Forklift, lockout/tagout, confined-space, and equipment-specific certs gate real shift assignments — not just a binder on the supervisor's desk.
Field Service
Trade licenses, manufacturer certifications, and vehicle endorsements track per technician with mobile-first renewal reminders.
Public Sector
Sworn-officer training, hazmat, and role-specific certifications track with the retention and audit trail public-sector accreditors require.
Aviation & Transportation
FAA, DOT medical, and equipment-type certifications gate dispatch decisions and crew assignments with the audit history regulators expect.
Financial Services
Series 7/63/65/66, continuing-education hours, and state-by-state licenses track per advisor with renewal alerts before lapse.
WHY MANGOAPPS WINS
One platform beats a stack of point solutions on every axis
The argument finance, security, ops, and compliance all share — and the one a skills point tool structurally cannot answer.
Cheaper than the stack
One per-employee suite license replaces Degreed, Cornerstone Skills, or a Workday add-on plus the spreadsheets and reminder tools around them.
More secure
One identity perimeter, one audit log, one retention policy across every credential record. Nothing for security or compliance to re-certify.
Easier to deploy
Already deployed if you have MangoApps. Import a credential matrix, map it to the HRIS, and your first expiration alerts fire the same week.
Easier to use
Workers see their own credential status from the mobile app they already open for shifts and pay. Managers gate assignments inline, not after.
Easier to manage
Skills admins configure credential types, expirations, and renewal flows from one console — using the live HRIS as the workforce of record.
Easier to extend
An expiring cert can trigger training, a scheduler block, a manager notification, or an HR ticket through the same workflow engine.
AI is actually better
Skills AI reads real completions, peer validations, and scheduling history to keep the inventory honest — governed by the same permission model that protects every other people record.

MangoApps has enabled us to better engage with our employees, which is crucial. People today are very quick to move if a company’s culture doesn’t suit them. You have to understand who your staff are and what they want, otherwise you’re going to battle to retain them.
