Employee Skills can be entered in Employee Management to track training, education, certifications, licenses, etc. Employee Skills are listed by default on the bottom-right of the Employee Management -> Details tab.  However, the System Parameter “Enable the Skills Tab in Employee Management”, when given a value of Y, moves the Skills section onto its own tab in Employee Management. 

This enables additional visibility and columns.
