Configuring Job Profiles
A Job Profile is a set of skills, courses and certificates required for a particular role within the organization. The Manage Job Profiles console serves as the user interface to create, manage and obsolete the Job Profiles. The console is accessible by the users with the Resource Manager role.
Like Resource Groups and Competencies, Job Profiles also support various functionalities within the resource management operations. These Job Profiles align with resources to convey that the resources are expected to possess, among other things, the skills, training, and certificates outlined in the corresponding Job Profile.
