Concept: Work Experience and Training Types

Work Experience

You can add different types of work experiences and associate levels with the experiences in:

Job profiles.

Talent reviews.

Worker profiles.

You can use the

Maintain Work Experience

task to create, edit, and delete work experiences. For each work experience, create different experience

Levels

. Levels can track years of experience, level of proficiency, or other tiered measurement you want to associate with the experience. You can optionally specify a

Talent Card Sort Order

to control the priority of the experience as it displays on the talent card.

Training Types

Training types are available to add to worker and job profiles. Examples:

Classroom.

Online.

Textbook.

On-the-job.

Add

Training

to worker or job profiles using the

Configure Profile Group

task. You can add this section to the:

Overview

Career

, or

Performance

profile group on worker profiles.

Qualifications

profile group on job profiles.

When you convert contingent workers to employees, or when you rehire former employees, Workday carries over their previous training to the new role.

Delete or Inactivate Work Experience or Training Types

Select the

Inactive

check box to remove a work experience, experience level, or training type from selection lists. Though inactive, these items remain valid for employees who have already selected them.

Delete a work experience, experience level, or training type by removing its row from the setup table. You can only delete items that aren't in use.

When you inactivate an experience level or training type, you may need to update job profiles or other objects to reflect a valid experience level or training type. When you submit changes to a job profile that includes an inactive work experience, you must remove the inactive entry.
