In today's rapidly changing professional landscape, retaining a current skill set and planning ahead for advancement opportunities both require continuous learning and skill development. For Cornell employees, Skillsoft's Role Advisor and LinkedIn Learning's My Career Journey are two easy-to-use tools that can support individuals as they navigate their career paths. 

Skillsoft's Role Advisor is designed to create a personalized professional development plan tailored to an individual's current role. This tool helps each person identify the specific skills they need to excel at work, and it offers role-based content recommendations. Role Advisor provides the guidance and resources employees need to grow in their current position or explore a new role.

LinkedIn Learning's My Career Journey takes a goal-oriented approach to career development. Enter a current career goal as a starting point and let the tool identify appropriate content and opportunities, or choose a focus to unlock a personalized learning plan to support career aspirations.  My Career Journey allows participants to explore potential new roles, offering recommendations based on economic graph data for members with similar titles.

Both tools empower individual employees to take control of their career, providing the insights and resources necessary to thrive in an evolving job market. As always, professionals who prefer not to adhere to a specific plan can choose individual courses of interest from either plan.
