Dear Ranjitha,
You have not mentioned the industry that you work in or your designation. Skill mapping is a little old hat. The current trend is competency mapping. To learn this concept, first, you need to read books on this subject and later work in a company where competency mapping is done. Replying to a query can be broad, and you cannot gain in-depth knowledge on the subject in this forum.
Thanks,

Dear Ranjitha,
Earlier, I had provided an exhaustive reply on the subject of employee training. Please click the following link to refer to it: https://www.citehr.com/523786-traini...ml#post2222367
Instead of focusing on building skills or competencies, you may want to concentrate on the results. For further details on which results to refer to, please check the above link.

Competency Mapping as an Alternative to Skill Mapping
Instead of skill mapping, you can opt for competency mapping. It is prepared for all employees individually based on the job description (JD). Identify all the possible skills based on the JD. For example, one of the JDs for an HR executive is to develop and execute a recruitment plan. The skills identified will include knowledge of recruitment and selection, manpower planning, interviewing skills, communication skills, etc.
Then, prepare a skill frame and fit the identified skills into the prepared skill frame. Once it is done, give a score to each skill frame (ranging from 5 to 1). Based on the employee’s current performance or knowledge, you can assign the score. If the score is average or below average, the gap between actual and desired performance calls for training need identification. Address the gap with proper training.
I hope this will help you.
