Knowledge Base
Browse documents (role profiles, roadmaps, trainings, capability docs), search, and categories.
The Knowledge Base is your place to browse and search organizational knowledge: role profiles, roadmaps, trainings, and capability documents. Use it to understand expectations, plan learning, and find official guidance.
What’s in the Knowledge Base
| Content type | What it is | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Role profiles | Skills and expectations for a role (e.g. “Senior Frontend Developer”) | See what’s required, compare with your skills |
| Roadmaps | Structured learning paths (e.g. “Frontend Developer,” “Data Fundamentals”) | Choose and track learning journeys |
| Trainings | Courses, modules, or learning units | Complete assigned or self-selected learning |
| Capability docs | Descriptions of capabilities and related skills | Understand how skills group and what “good” looks like |
Exact types and names depend on how your organization has configured SkillHouse.
Browsing by Category
- Go to Knowledge Base (from the main nav or search).
- Use categories or sections (e.g. “Roles,” “Learning,” “Capabilities”) to narrow the list.
- Click a category to see documents in that group.
- Open a document to read or, for roadmaps and trainings, to start or continue.
Categories help when you’re exploring rather than searching for something specific.
Searching
- On the Knowledge Base page, use the search box.
- Enter keywords — e.g. “React,” “frontend,” “data analyst role,” “API training.”
- Results may include role profiles, roadmaps, trainings, and capability docs.
- Click a result to open it. From there you can enroll in a roadmap, start a training, or read the doc.
Search is especially useful when you know the topic or name of what you want.
Role Profiles
Role profiles describe what’s expected in a role: skills, levels, and sometimes behaviors. Use them to:
- See what skills and levels you need for your current role.
- Plan growth toward a target role.
- Compare your self-assessments to the profile and identify gaps.
Open a role profile from the Knowledge Base, then use Skills Self-Assessment and Interests & Growth to close gaps.
Roadmaps
Roadmaps are multi-step learning paths. From the Knowledge Base you can:
- Browse available roadmaps by name or category.
- Open a roadmap to see its steps (trainings, assessments, etc.).
- Enroll or Start to add it to your Learning and track progress.
Details on using roadmaps are in Learning and Interests & Growth.
Trainings
Trainings are individual courses or modules. From the Knowledge Base you can:
- Find trainings by search or category.
- Open a training to see description and structure.
- Start or Continue if it’s assigned to you or open for self-enrollment.
Completion is tracked in Learning.
Capability Documents
Capability docs explain capability areas (e.g. “Frontend development,” “Data engineering”) and how skills fit in. Use them to:
- Understand how skills are grouped.
- See what “good” looks like for a capability.
- Choose skills to assess or interests to declare.
Tip: Bookmark the Knowledge Base and search when you’re setting goals, starting a new role, or looking for the next learning step.
