Skills Taxonomy & Hierarchy

Every skill in Thrive previously lived in a flat, undifferentiated list, making large skills libraries hard to navigate and manage. Skills Taxonomy introduces a structured hierarchy that reflects how skills actually relate to each other.

• A four-level taxonomy, domain, category, sub-category and leaf skill
• Skill descriptions that surface to learners on their skills profile
• Automatic translation of skill names and descriptions into all available platform languages

• Organisations managing thousands of skills can finally group and navigate them meaningfully
• Descriptions and proficiency levels turn skills from labels into something learners and managers can act on
• Automatic translation means the taxonomy works for every learner regardless of language

• All existing skills automatically become leaf skills, with no data lost and nothing changed
• Admins build the hierarchy from the top down, creating categories and assigning skills beneath them
• A skill can sit under more than one parent category
• Translations can be generated automatically and overridden per language when needed

• An admin with thousands of skills and no way to navigate them builds a domain structure and assigns existing skills beneath it, making the library navigable overnight.
• A platform running in a dozen languages gets skill names and descriptions auto-translated on creation.

• L&D admins build and manage the taxonomy and keep the skills library healthy
• Learners see skills and descriptions on their profile in their own language
• Managers get a more meaningful view of team skills to support development conversations
