Abstract: A system is described for providing roadmaps for building proficiencies in skill areas. The system may include a memory, interface, and processor. The memory may store skill area and skill level identifiers, and associated job experience data items describing tasks of a user within the skill area and skill level, formal learning data items describing learning activities of a user within the skill area and skill level, and collaborative data items describing collaborative roles of a user within the skill area and skill level. The processor may receive the skill area and skill level identifiers. The processor may retrieve the job experience, formal learning and collaborative data items associated with the skill area and the skill level identifiers. The processor may transform the data items into a roadmap describing the job experience, formal learning and collaborative data items recommended to reach the skill level, and provide the roadmap to the user.

Abstract: A method for creating an educational product, or training experience, is herein described. The training experience includes a learning experience to impart knowledge on training experience participants, a networking experience to allow training experience participants to interact with a relevant peer group during training, a guest experience providing a defined level of interest and focus by participants during the training experience, and an enculturation experience to integrate training experience participants into the culture of the sponsoring organization. The training experience may be created through an assessment phase, a planning phase, a design phase, and an implementation stage, with subsequent product evaluation and revisions. Various milestones and checkpoints may be used to ensure that a level of phenomenality is achieved by the final training experience.
