Users can find the learning items recommended specifically for them in the Learn New Skills section.

In this section, users can discover three different recommendation types for learning content:

• Admin Recommendations: These items are recommended through Assignment Profiles and identified by the label of Recommended by Learning Team.
• Peer Recommendations: These items are recommended by peers and identified by the label indicating who recommended them.
• Personalized Recommendations: These items are recommended based on machine learning algorithms.

Users can find the mentors and mentoring programs recommended specifically for them in the Connect with People section.

By reviewing the given information on an item, you can decide whether it is the best fit. If you find it is the right program or mentor, you can ask for mentorship directly on the cards by selecting Submit Request or navigate to the page of the program by selecting Join as Mentor or Join as Mentee.
