This presentation explores a strategic approach to redefining career pathing and employee development using a comprehensive internal architecture system. Participants will learn how a pilot program utilizes a centralized platform to map roles, identify skill overlaps, and align career paths in a personalized way. The session emphasizes the importance of leveraging existing career frameworks (e.g., career bands and families), calibrating skill levels, and mapping overlapping skills to build clear career roadmaps. Additionally, the discussion will touch on the role of new technologies, such as web scraping, that can be used to create new career paths, as well as how technology can serve as an enabler to provide a user-friendly experience for employees. Key takeaways will also include the value of integrating career pathing into broader HR processes and aligning it with organizational initiatives like Total Rewards to ensure long-term success for both employees and the organization. 

In this session, you will learn:

• How to build a structured career pathing system using existing frameworks (bands, families) and how to effectively map roles and skills to create clear career paths.
• The importance of calibrating skill levels and organizing skills into meaningful groups to align with organizational goals.
• How to map overlapping skills and create actionable career paths through systematic skill calibration and role mapping.
• How to incorporate technology like AI and web scraping in a way that supports personalized employee development, while recognizing the unique challenges of organizations with specific systemic contexts (e.g., small markets, recent crises).
• The significance of integrating career pathing with broader HR processes to create a seamless experience for employees and generate meaningful value for the organization.
