# Skills

**Skills** show the abilities a learner currently holds or is working to develop. Each skill is recorded on the learner’s profile, giving a structured view of their current capabilities and development areas. By linking skills to goals, CPD, and content, you can track progress, support career development, and measure growth across your organisation.

![Thrive Manage menu highlights Skills, showing a skills list with categories, people, content, goals, and creation controls.](https://cdn.document360.io/3a0609fb-d96c-4ce1-aabe-d9338fb1e858/Images/Documentation/image(971).png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-05T15%3A27%3A53Z&se=2026-11-05T16%3A27%3A53Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=sEq1lyeanshFSQw5xAi%2BkP%2BJyiSG0QiHHt60os%2BK9qc%3D)

The **Skills** screen has three tabs: **Skills**, where you create and manage individual skills; **Taxonomy**, where you build the category structure skills sit within; and **Permissions**, where you control who can create and manage skills across the platform.

To create a new skill, see [Create a Skill](/v1/docs/create-a-skill). To view, edit, convert, delete, or organise existing skills, see [Manage a Skill](/v1/docs/manage-a-skill).
