Abstract: A system performing guided user training includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a memory storing a software code including a training recommendation engine. The hardware processor executes the software code to receive a login input from a user, identify, using the login input, a role type including the user, and determine, using the role type, one or more core competencies for the user. The software code further identifies, using the training recommendation engine, training resources for use in attaining the one or more core competencies, and generates, using the training recommendation engine and the user training profile, one or more learning playlists for attaining each of the core competencies using at least some of the identified training resources.
