Employees want opportunities to grow, and cite career progression as the number-one motivator for learning, according to findings in one report.
When organizations invest in employee development, they’re more likely to see higher rates of internal mobility and promotions to management and leadership positions. They’re also 1.2 times more likely to attract and 1.3 times more likely to retain employees.
Providing employees with meaningful growth and development opportunities is essential. And that means you need to understand the roles they want to move into and the skills they need to get there.
Bridge’s Career Pathing feature empowers employees to take a more proactive role in this growth by visualizing and developing within the organization.

Career Pathing in Bridge: 3 Features That Enable Employee Advancement and Growth
Bridge Talent Suite provides a single destination for employee development and upskilling. With ongoing enhancements to Career Pathing, your people can play a more hands-on role in building business-critical skills.
1) Discovering Future Job Roles
The Skills Community in Bridge now includes a dedicated Future Roles page. Here, learners can explore job roles that align with their skills and career interests, and see what area of the organization these roles exist in.
Employees can also explore current roles in your Talent Marketplace and save the ones they’re interested in within their Career Vision, along with personal goals and descriptions.
Giving learners access to these insights helps them define long-term career goals by understanding the opportunities available to them and how they can leverage their skills within the organization. This can also empower managers with the insight they need to support direct reports in their goals.
Bridge makes development actionable for learners by showing them the skills required for each job role, their current competencies, and any skills gaps.
2) Highlighting Skills Gaps
Bridge makes development actionable for learners by showing them the skills required for each job role, highlighting their existing competencies in green, and any gaps in their skillsets in red. This feature makes it easier for people to visualize the steps they need to take to achieve their career goals and where to focus their learning and development.
When used with Bridge’s existing Talent Suite capabilities, such as skills feedback and AI-powered learning recommendations, your people get a comprehensive view of their progression and a clear understanding of how to improve and advance within your organization.
Ongoing enhancements to Bridge’s Career Pathing will enable admins to define skill proficiency levels and map them to job roles, helping learners better understand their strengths and areas for improvement and explore more relevant training and career tracks.
Bridge’s Career Pathing features connect employees with personalized learning and people recommendations to close skills gaps and achieve their career goals.
3) Providing Learning Content and Mentorship Recommendations
Bridge’s Career Pathing features connect employees with personalized learning and people recommendations to close skills gaps and achieve their career goals.
Learners can explore and enroll in targeted training recommendations tailored to their goals and tagged with the relevant skills. They can also see individuals within your organization who possess the skill they want to develop, and build connections with peers who can support their career goals.
