# Build your unique skills profile

> How to populate and refine your skills.

After defining your role, the next step is to build your skills profile. This allows the platform to understand your capabilities and generate personalised role and learning recommendations.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Retrieve Your Skills">
    You can populate your skills in two ways:

    </Frame>

    * **Option A: Upload Your CV**: Upload your CV to automatically extract and populate your existing skills.
    * **Option B: Connect to Certified Skills**: For Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents, you can retrieve verified skills from your SingPass account.

    Once retrieved, your skills will appear in your skills profile.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review Retrieved Skills">
    After retrieval, you will be able to:

    * View the number of skills extracted
    * See all populated skills in your profile
    * Remove any skills that are not relevant (click the “×” icon)

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Refine Your Skills">
    If you did not upload a CV or connect certified skills, this section will initially be empty. **You must add at least one skill to proceed.**

    You can refine your profile by:

    * Confirming skills retrieved from your CV or certified records
    * Adding recommended skills based on your selected role
    * Adding skills manually

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add Recommended Skills">
    The platform will suggest skills relevant to your selected role. You can click on a suggested skill to add it, or select **“View all skills”** to see more.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add Skills Manually">
    If a specific skill is not listed, you can search and add it manually. Start typing the skill name and select the match from the list.
