The Skill Signals Page

What are Skill Signals?

Skill Signals are your Degreed-recorded activities related to a specific skill. They can help you (and visitors to your profile) understand and leverage your skill-related expertise for mentorship, subject-matter expertise, Opportunity selection (if enabled for organization), and more.

Skill Signals are a better way to understand how you're using Degreed to grow your skills, and give you the ability to see where you can upskill or reskill to get to where you want to be — both professionally and personally.
