The Skills Foundation platform uses AI Search to process your industry skills data. Learn how Skills Foundation can help transform your organization to build a workforce that is based on skills.

## Overview of Skills Foundation {#exploring-skills-intelligence__section_qqk_dxg_1yb}

The core capability of the platform is the underlying technology that resides in the Skills Foundation engine.

## Skills Foundation for Talent Development {#exploring-skills-intelligence__section_w3b_qld_vyb}

The Skills Foundation engine acts as the foundational layer that powers all the capabilities within Talent Development. Talent Development applications use skills at its core to guide managers and employees through their career plans. This approach not only supports individual development but also contributes to achieving better business
outcomes. For more information, see [Growth Experiences](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/oi2eo2CNKf4fhdL41JsABA "The ServiceNow Growth Experiences applications use a suite of products to help employees develop, grow and deliver on critical business outcomes.").  
Nota:  
Skills Foundation is only integrated with Talent Development applications.

## Skill Validation in Manager Hub {#exploring-skills-intelligence__section_czs_n5f_cyb}

As a manager, you can review and validate the skill proficiency levels updated by your employees by opening the conversations scheduled with them. Within Conversations there's a dedicated section that offers details about skills
that require validation. For more information, see [Validate skills in Manager Hub](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/sMtkEVnCoqJt7cCU6yFLkQ "Affirm the skills that your employee claims to have by reviewing and validating them in Manager Hub.").

## Skills-driven Learning recommendations {#exploring-skills-intelligence__section_il5_nlh_cyb}

Talent Development uses Skills Foundation to deliver learning recommendations for employees and their managers, keeping them engaged and productive. For more information, see [Learning overview](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/oEtQhdOioKNN7dW7rA7Xgg "Identify, manage, and complete all your learning goals from the Learning tab in Talent Development."). The Skills Foundation application integrates with Learning to introduce skills-driven learning search results that your managers can use to recommend courses based on the skills of your employees. For more
information, see [Learning integration with Skills Foundation](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/AQJwe1~yW1wPmm2n3EZZww "Skills Foundation integrates with Learning to introduce skills-driven learning search results; recommend and suggest courses based on a learner's skills.").

## Proactive Prompts integrated with Skills Foundation {#exploring-skills-intelligence__section_ntj_2mh_cyb}

Proactive Prompts enable contextual and proactive engagement for your managers and employees by bringing actionable insights as prompts into their flow of work. You can use these prompts in multiple engagement
channels, such as Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Outlook, Zoom, and the short messaging service (SMS). For more information, see [Proactive Prompts for Skills Foundation](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/4Sq0kpKUoS6L7xcpKNR6gQ "Recommend roles, skills, and missing proficiencies to the employees and get approval from managers in their flow of work using Proactive Prompts.").

## Support for multiple languages in Skills Foundation {#exploring-skills-intelligence__section_tfw_ydj_ncc}

Employees can view the skill names and their descriptions translated when they change their preferred language to a non-English language. For information on the languages supported by AI Search, see [Activate a language](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=t_ActivateALanguage&version=australia&pubname=australia-platform-administration&ft:locale=en-US).  
Nota:  
* Make sure that the respective language plugins are installed to ensure that the skill translations are also downloaded for those languages.
* If you have custom skills, you must get the custom skills translated and upload them separately.
* When searching for skills using the Search option, use only your preferred language. For example, if your preferred language is Dutch, you search in Dutch.
