Skills Builder – Before You Begin Checklist
Just getting started with your skills development initiative? Make sure you’ve checked off the essentials before you dive in.
Skills shortages
With 91% of Australian employers struggling with skills shortages and 40% of workers planning to leave their jobs, organisations must become increasingly proactive towards retention and skills development strategies.
Boost Performance
Cultivate a learning environment that encourages excellence through robust skills tracking and data-driven decision-making.
Retain Talent
Support your employees to diversify their skills and experience, and enjoy higher job satisfaction, greater internal mobility, and stronger retention.
Stay Relevant
Attract the best people and empower them to develop the skills needed in their role — keeping your organisation competitive and relevant.
What’s Your Plan for Skill Development?
With the business landscape shifting rapidly, we don’t need to tell you how important career progression and skill development are to your current and future employees.
Will you embark on skills building for… critical thinking, leadership, digital, soft skills, communication, management, AI, coaching, or something else? The list of possibilities is endless. The problem is — without a clear plan for skill development, it’s impossible to know what roles or skills to focus on so that you can be strategic and effective.
Every organisation needs a plan for identifying skills gaps, providing meaningful learning and development opportunities, and ensuring employee engagement and motivation.
And that’s where Skills
Builder
comes in.

The LearningTribe Skills Builder Process
No matter where you are in your skills journey, this structured, strategic approach will enable you to build skills so that both your employees and your organisation can grow and achieve goals.
Phase
Co-design a Custom Skills Framework
Set a clear purpose for your skills framework. Determine the scope of the skills approach that aligns with your business — this could be enterprise critical skills, job family, or role-based. Next, co-design and review the framework with your teams.
Phase
Implement the Framework
Determine a suitable testing method, plan how your employees will use the skills framework, then test the framework with your employees. Ensure you iterate and adjust the framework based on feedback.
Phase
Develop a Skills Toolkit
Build out your skills toolkit and templates according to your purpose, organisation’s needs, ecosystem, and scope of your skills approach. This skills development toolkit will equip your employees to develop the skills identified in your skills framework.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer custom skills solutions?
Yes. We know that the context of every organisation and its learning needs can vary. We’ll always start with a free consultation to discuss your current and future needs so that we can tailor a learning solution to suit.
What kinds of organisations do you work with?
No matter the size of your organisation or the industry you’re in, you need to continually invest in skills development. That’s why we work with all kinds of organisations around the globe, with clients in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, the U.S., and beyond. You don’t need to be in the same geographical location as your LearningTribe consultant, as all work can be completed remotely. Plus, our Skills Builder process easily scales to teams of all sizes, as well as multiple teams within an enterprise.
How long does Skills Builder take to implement?
Our timing depends on the scale and pace of your organisation — but in general, phase 1 (skills framework) takes around 3-4 weeks to complete, while phase 2 (implementation) can take anywhere from 2-4 weeks. Finally, phase 3 (skills toolkit) typically takes an additional 4-5 weeks. On top of this, you should expect to revisit the phases from time to time, iterating and adjusting as needed.
We have the practical solutions you need, no matter your organisation’s sector or scale.
