Position Skills

Each position can have Skills defined, that is, the Skills that an incumbent of this position should ideally have attained.

As already mentioned, Skills relate to competencies for which there is no associated cost to the company.

For example, it might be a pre-requisite for a CEO to have an MBA and public speaking skills.
