Career Worksheet Overview
The Career Worksheet is a planning tool for users as they work on Career Development Planning tasks. It allows employees to manage their current and target roles and the associated skills and attributes to gain an understanding of the development efforts required to move into target roles. The Latest Career Worksheet is a redesigned experience to make it easier for users to explore their career opportunities within the organization.

Career Worksheet Features
The Latest Career Worksheet begins with the Growth Portfolio, where employees can preview the information about their current role and any target roles they've chosen. The image below shows Aanya Singh's Growth Portfolio landing page and the different navigation options and actions available.

If you are not seeing the same Growth Portfolio landing page shown in the screen above, the redesigned Growth Portfolio landing page needs to be enabled in Career Development Planning Feature Settings.
The following features are available with the Career Worksheet:
- Managers have a Team View available to track their team's career development in a summary view, including career aspirations and skill growth.
- Skills and Attributes: Employees can view their skills and attributes, add new attributes, and add proficiency ratings for their skills and attributes. The available skills and attributes come from the Talent Intelligence Hub.
