Skills Mapping & Assessment Agents: Precision Learning Paths and Adaptive Testing

Unlock targeted, measurable skills growth across your workforce. Turbine's Skills Mapping & Assessment Agents—purpose-built in alignment with the Turbine Agent Framework and activated via LearningOps—deliver tailored learning experiences, adaptive testing, and data-driven credentials. The result: faster onboarding, built-in compliance, and provable upskilling at scale.

Why Traditional Training Falls Short

Legacy systems often:

• Deliver generic content that does not fit real skill needs
• Lack clear, job-connected learning paths
• Provide static, non-adaptive assessments
• Miss and fail to remediate critical skills gaps
• Issue credentials that are not portable or evidence-based

Turbine Agent-Driven Skills Development: How It Works

Skills Mapper Turbine Agent: Competency Clarity

The Skills Mapper Turbine Agent builds dynamic, industry-aligned skill taxonomies—mapping every learning module to real job competencies (powered by O*NET and national frameworks).

• Keeps skill maps current with market changes
• Delivers organization-specific and industry-standard skill matrices
• Enables rapid audit-readiness with transparent skills frameworks

Example

A construction firm quickly mapped 47 unique electrical skills across 8 core competency areas, using the Skills Mapper Turbine Agent linked to structured learning modules and adaptive assessments.

Competency Pathway Turbine Agent: Personalized Roadmaps

The Competency Pathway Turbine Agent guides every learner along career-specific, customizable journeys:

• Aligns progression with business goals and promotions
• Dynamically sequences prerequisites for each target role
• Supports alternative upskilling paths for workforce flexibility

Sample Pathways: Technician → Lead Technician; CNA → RN; Laborer → Project Manager

Gap Analysis Turbine Agent: Targeted Upskilling

The Gap Analysis Turbine Agent compares each team member's current profile with job requirements, instantly surfacing and prioritizing upskilling needs:

• Runs individual and cohort-wide skills gap analyses
• Ranks development priorities for highest business impact
• Supports actionable, trackable growth plans through LearningOps workflows

Example Output:

Target: Lead Technician Skills Needed: Advanced Troubleshooting (Gap: 40%), Team Leadership (Gap: 60%) Recommendation: Complete advanced modules and leadership training via LearningOps

Credential Alignment Turbine Agent: Portable Proof

The Credential Alignment Turbine Agent automatically converts learning achievements into recognized, transferable credentials:

• Issues digital badges, micro-credentials, and certification pathways
• Connects to MSOs and industry credentials for third-party validation
• Ensures every credential is portable and audit-verifiable

Adaptive Assessment & Feedback Turbine Agents

Assessment Generator Turbine Agent

Creates robust, multi-format assessments (multiple-choice, scenario, practical):

• Calibrates item difficulty to module and skill level
• Measures real, on-the-job capability—not just theory
• Provides instant scoring and actionable feedback

Simulation Turbine Agent

Lets users learn and prove skills risk-free in virtual environments:

• CNC setup, safety simulations, customer service—all digitally replicated
• Tracks performance for accurate, unbiased progression

Adaptive Testing Turbine Agent

Personalizes evaluation:

• Dynamically adjusts complexity based on learner performance
• Matches formats to individual learning styles and pacing
• Delivers immediate feedback for continuous improvement

Feedback Loop Turbine Agent

Drives ongoing content and outcome refinement:

• Gathers user and manager input
• Runs sentiment and engagement analysis
• Feeds results back to LearningOps teams for monthly/quarterly updates
