Creating an Opportunity

Creating an Opportunity in Learn Amp allows you to define meaningful, hands-on development experiences for learners. Opportunities act as structured activities—such as projects, coaching moments, or skill-building tasks—that support real-world growth.

By setting up clear descriptions, linking relevant skills and roles, and choosing how completion is verified, you create a framework that helps learners discover and engage with purposeful development activities.

When creating an opportunity, you'll define several key elements:

• Name – A clear, descriptive title for the opportunity

• Description – A detailed summary of what the opportunity involves and what learners will gain

• Associated Roles – Roles that commonly require or benefit from this opportunity

• Associated Skills – Skills developed or strengthened by completing the opportunity

• Verification Type – How completion is confirmed:

  • Self-verified – Learners confirm their own completion

  • Verified by selected individuals – Designated verifiers approve completion

• Verifiers – When using verification by others, the individuals responsible for confirming completion

💡 Tip: Choose "Verified by selected individuals" when you need quality assurance or manager sign-off on completions.

To create an opportunity, you must have the correct permissions enabled for your role.
