This question is as much about organizing training as it is about content. The goal is to connect skill needs, available training, learners and real progress tracking.
From portfolio to learner
Training available in the portfolio has not yet started. Assignment links it to a specific learner.
Adapt assignments to roles
Not every team member needs the same learning path. Training can be targeted by role and objective.
Give access to the Learning Workspace
Once assigned, the learner can access the Learning Workspace and progress through lessons.
Keep organizational visibility
Assignments remain visible to supervisors so they can distinguish assigned, started and completed training.
Build coherent sequences
Skills paths help prepare complementary training around a professional objective.
