Shifting to a skills-first approach isn’t something that happens overnight. It’s a long-term journey—one that may evolve over time, involve different stakeholders, and take a few detours along the way. But that doesn’t mean you have to wait years to see results. 

At Enthral, we believe you can start seeing impact early on—if you take it one step at a time.

Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your current approach, here’s a simple step-by-step approach you can take to build a practical, sustainable skills-first model that delivers real outcomes:

Step 1: Start With the Skills That Matter

Use Enthral’s built-in skills framework to get going quickly—or plug in your own to create a more tailored experience. Our platform offers a rich database of industry-specific competencies across technical, functional, and leadership domains. This sets a strong foundation for role clarity, career growth, and future workforce planning.

Step 2: Identify Skill Gaps With Precision

We make it easy to spot where the gaps are. Using intelligent skills taxonomy and AI-powered learning analysis, Enthral maps existing capabilities against what’s needed—helping you align development plans with real business priorities.

Step 3: Personalize Learning at Scale

Once the gaps are clear, personalize the learning journey for each individual. With Enthral, you can link learning paths to roles, goals, and future aspirations. Our AI-powered engine makes smart recommendations that help learners stay on track—and ahead—while also identifying high-potential talent that can be nurtured for critical roles.

Step 4: Give Learners Control

Let employees own their development. Enthral empowers individuals to track their skills, set goals, and explore opportunities—all within one intuitive platform. It’s a proactive, learner-first approach to skilling and a key enabler in building leadership pipelines from within.

Build stronger teams, develop leaders, and close gaps—before they slow you down. This is how skills-based talent development becomes a reality—not just a vision.
