Implementation and Onboarding

SkillNex onboarding is a structured, supported process — not a self-service sign-up. We configure the platform to your institution's workflows, migrate existing data where applicable, and train your team before your first programme cycle goes live.

What Implementation Looks Like

Most institutions are fully operational within 2–4 weeks. The process is divided into five structured stages.

  1. 1

    Scoping and configuration planning

    Week 1

    We work with your team to understand the modules required, programme structures, user types, and workflow requirements. This produces a configuration plan specific to your institution.

  2. 2

    Platform configuration

    Week 1–2

    SkillNex configures your instance — user roles, workflow stages, grant settings (where applicable), course catalogue structure, and portal branding. We handle the setup; you review and approve.

  3. 3

    Data migration

    Week 2–3

    Where you have existing data to migrate — learner lists, employer records, course histories — we work through the migration process to get your instance populated before go-live.

  4. 4

    User training

    Week 2–3

    Role-specific training sessions for administrators, coordinators, and other platform users. We train your team on the workflows they will use, not the full platform in the abstract.

  5. 5

    Review and go-live

    Week 3–4

    A structured review session confirms the configuration meets your requirements. After sign-off, the platform goes live for your first programme cycle with SkillNex support on standby.

What's Included in Onboarding

  • Dedicated implementation contact throughout the process
  • Platform configuration to your workflow and programme requirements
  • Role-specific training for administrators, coordinators, and users
  • Data migration from existing systems where applicable
  • Configuration review and sign-off before go-live
  • Post-launch support during the first programme cycle

What We Need From You

  • Key contacts: administrator, programme leads, technical point of contact
  • Programme structures, user lists, and course catalogue information
  • Participation in configuration review sessions
  • Access to existing data for migration (where applicable)
  • Decision-making authority for workflow configuration approvals

Implementation FAQ

Most institutions complete onboarding within 2–4 weeks, depending on the scope of deployment and configuration requirements. Institutions deploying all three modules (internship management, TMS, and corporate learning) may take slightly longer. SkillNex provides a dedicated implementation contact throughout the process.

The institution needs to provide: key contacts (administrator, technical, programme leads), relevant data for configuration (user lists, programme structures, course catalogues), and participation in configuration review sessions. SkillNex handles platform setup, workflow configuration, and initial training.

Where institutions have structured data in existing systems or spreadsheets, SkillNex can work through a data migration process during onboarding. The feasibility and timeline depend on the data format and volume. [TODO: confirm migration capability details with engineering]

SkillNex provides role-specific training for administrators, coordinators, and other platform users as part of onboarding. Training is conducted through live sessions and supported with documentation. [TODO: confirm training format details with product team]
