Skills-Based Scheduling & Planning
One governed view of who can do what — skills, proficiency, and certifications with expiry alerts — so schedulers can staff qualified people and no cert renewal slips by unnoticed.
See Skills & Credentials In Action
See how Skills & Credentials maps people, roles, and skills into a live readiness view, tracks certifications and licenses as dated validity periods with expiry alerts and verification by the people you choose, and feeds shift eligibility so only qualified employees are scheduled.
What Skills & Credentials Helps You Do
Track Skills
Per-employee skill records with configurable proficiency levels, categories, active status, bulk assignment, CSV import, and verification by the people you choose.
Track Certifications
Required certifications, optional credentials, and licenses per role. Issuing body, date issued, expiration, and renewal cycle tracked per record.
Alert On Expiry
Dashboards surface certifications expiring within 30, 60 and 90 days, plus those already expired, with in-app renewal alerts and needs-attention filters.
Analyze Gaps
Compare current skills against role-required skill matrices and career progression paths to identify matched, missing, and improvement-needed skills.
Schedule By Skill
Skill-based scheduling groups auto-refresh from qualification records so schedulers can find employees who meet role or certification requirements.
Feed Training
Skill and certification gaps flow into Training as personalized course recommendations. Completions update the inventory automatically.
Skills & Credentials In Practice
A practical scope check: what the app covers, which controls matter, and the workflows teams usually run first.
Core workflow
Track employee skills with proficiency levels and group them by category for a unified skills inventory.
Controls that matter
The verification workflow sends employee-submitted skills to the verifiers you choose (app administrators by default), and verification resets when a verified skill is updated.
Scope and specs
Useful specs: Proficiency levels: 5 (labels and descriptions admin-customizable); Max certification doc size: 10 MB per file; Accepted document formats: PDF, JPEG, PNG, DOC, DOCX.
Certification renewal tracking
HR monitors certifications expiring within 30, 60 and 90 days, or already expired, and employees and their managers are reminded ahead of each deadline.
Credential verification
An employee adds a new skill or certification and it waits in Pending Verifications, where the people your organization lets verify credentials — app administrators by default — are notified and approve or reject it.
Career path planning
An employee views their career progression panel comparing current skills and proficiency levels against the requirements for the next role in their hierarchy.

REPLACES POINT TOOLS
One skills inventory instead of a credential spreadsheet and a separate skills cloud
Skills data lives in three places at most companies — an LMS export, an HR spreadsheet, and an enterprise "skills cloud" no one trusts. Skills & Credentials puts skill currency, expirations, and scheduler gating in one app that the floor actually depends on.
Skilljar
External-facing certification and credentialing tool
- Credentials gate real operational decisions — schedulers can't assign a safety-critical shift to an expired worker
- Credential renewal tracks against the live HRIS, not a separate Skilljar contact list
- One platform covers both training delivery and operational credential enforcement
Degreed
Skills development and learning platform
- Skill picture stays accurate because completions, peer validation, and review evidence all flow into one inventory
- Frontline workforce included by default — no separate Degreed seat economy for shift employees
- Skills tie to scheduling, performance, and comp in one platform instead of three CSV bridges
Cornerstone Skills Graph
Skills inference layer on top of an LMS
- Skills are validated by recognition, peer endorsements, and completed work — not just AI inference from job titles
- Replaces a heavyweight Cornerstone add-on with a feature your existing platform already runs
- Audit-ready credential expirations with email + chat + push reminders flowing through the existing notification engine
Workday Talent Skills Cloud
Skills module inside Workday HCM
- Schedulers and supervisors check credential currency from the same mobile app — not a Workday Talent license they don't have
- Skill currency gates real shift assignments in real time, not as a quarterly governance report
- Per-employee suite license covers it instead of an enterprise HCM add-on per employee
HR spreadsheet + LMS exports
The DIY skills inventory
- Credentials, expirations, and renewals live in one auditable system instead of three CSVs and a shared drive
- Expiration alerts trigger automatically through the platform's notification engine — no manual reminder calendar
- One source of truth for audits, accreditation reviews, and safety inspections
PLATFORM ADVANTAGE
Skills & Credentials inherits everything else MangoApps already does
A standalone skills cloud has to build, buy, or integrate each of these. Skills & Credentials gets them for free because the platform already runs them.
Identity & SSO
SAML/OIDC SSO, MFA, and SCIM provisioning already cover every credentialed worker. New hires get credential profiles on day one — no separate setup.
HRIS-synced workforce
Role, location, hire date, and termination flow from the live HRIS — credential tracking follows people through transfers automatically.
Scheduler & ops gating
Shift schedulers and supervisors see credential currency inline while assigning work — not as a quarterly compliance report after the fact.
Audit history
Every change to a credential record keeps a version history (the latest 50 versions) with who changed it and when.
Mobile app & notifications
Workers see their certs and renewal dates from the same branded app they open for shifts and pay. Reminders arrive where they actually read.
Workflow & automation
An expiring credential reminds the holder and their manager, can enroll the holder in its renewal course in Training, and stops counting for shifts once it lapses — or, with the shift-date rule on, for any shift after it lapses.
INDUSTRY FIT
Built for industries where credential currency is a real operational risk
Skills & Credentials matters most where an expired credential means a missed shift, a regulatory finding, or a safety incident.
Healthcare
RN, RT, BLS/ACLS, and unit-specific certifications track to expiration with scheduler gating that meets Joint Commission documentation review.
Manufacturing
Forklift, lockout/tagout, confined-space, and equipment-specific certs gate real shift assignments — not just a binder on the supervisor's desk.
Field Service
Trade licenses, manufacturer certifications, and vehicle endorsements track per technician with frontline-ready renewal reminders.
Public Sector
Sworn-officer training, hazmat, and role-specific certifications track with a version history of every change to the credential record.
Aviation & Transportation
FAA, DOT medical, and equipment-type certifications gate dispatch decisions and crew assignments with the audit history regulators expect.
Financial Services
Series 7/63/65/66, continuing-education hours, and state-by-state licenses track per advisor with renewal alerts before lapse.
WHY MANGOAPPS WINS
One platform beats a stack of point solutions on every axis
The argument finance, security, ops, and compliance all share — and the one a skills point tool structurally cannot answer.
Cheaper than the stack
One per-employee suite license replaces Degreed, Cornerstone Skills, or a Workday add-on plus the spreadsheets and reminder tools around them.
More secure
One identity perimeter and one set of roles and permissions across every credential record. Nothing for security or compliance to re-certify.
Easier to deploy
Already deployed if you have MangoApps. Import a credential matrix, map it to the HRIS, and your first expiration alerts fire the same week.
Easier to use
Workers see their own credential status from the mobile app they already open for shifts and pay. Managers gate assignments inline, not after.
Easier to manage
Skills admins configure credential types, expirations, and renewal flows from one console — using the live HRIS as the workforce of record.
Easier to extend
An expiring cert can enroll its holder in the renewal course, warn the holder and the shift's managers before a rostered shift, and stop counting for scheduling once it lapses.
AI is actually better
Skills AI reads real completions, peer validations, and scheduling history to keep the inventory honest — governed by the same permission model that protects every other people record.

Frequently Asked Questions
Skills can be self-reported, assigned by a manager or admin, and verified by the people your organization chooses. Course completions in Training and passed Practice Hub checks write credentials back automatically, and skill detection suggests skills from shifts worked, competency ratings and completed Skill Swap partnerships — each marked Detected, for a person to confirm or dispute.
Each certification has issuing body, date issued, expiration date, and renewal cycle. Configurable lead-time alerts notify employees, managers, and HR before expiration — by email, mobile push, and in-app. Renewal workflows handle the refresh.
Shifts can require specific certifications or skills. Shifts & Scheduling checks eligibility before assignment. Coverage gaps flag in real time so schedulers can swap in qualified employees or trigger training.
Skill and certification gaps surface in Training as personalized course recommendations. Completions update the inventory automatically — close the loop without manual entry.
Yes. Custom certification types per industry — healthcare (RN, BLS, ACLS), construction (OSHA, forklift, hazmat), manufacturing (Six Sigma, lean), IT (CISSP, AWS, Azure), and any others your organization needs.
