Goals Overview

While many organizations invest in developing their cybersecurity team’s skills, most struggle to measure the impact of training. How do you know your approach to training is producing meaningful results for your organization?

We created Goals to help you map what your team learns to tangible outcomes to demonstrate the ROI of training more easily. With our Goals feature, you can:

• Choose the desired outcome;
• Assign to your entire team, specific groups, or individuals;
• Prescribe relevant content or let your team choose;
• Set a deadline or keep it open-ended; and
• Monitor learning progress along the way

Goals allows you to choose from any of the following outcomes:

• Complete a minimum number of learning hours
• Earn CEUs
• Prepare for a certification exam
• Onboard a new team member
• Other

You can't look over your team's shoulders to ensure they are putting in the time to develop their skills, so Goals helps you hold your team accountable. Each team member will receive an email notifying them of their goal on its scheduled start date. Once they've started, they will receive periodic reminders encouraging them to continue making progress. Goals enables you to visualize your team's progress on Cybrary; you will even receive a weekly progress report for all active goals you own.

You can also use Goals to motivate your team by aligning the goals you set to any professional development plans or career pathing process at your organization.

Update: Recent Enhancements

Based on customer feedback, we’ve made some enhancements to our Goals feature to help save you time and effort in creating and managing goals for your team. Now when you create a new goal, you can schedule it to start on a future date or set it to recur at custom weekly or monthly intervals. 

Future and recurring goals will appear in the Upcoming tab in your team's My Learning. Your team will receive an email informing them of their new goal on its scheduled start date. Once they've started, they will receive periodic reminders encouraging them to continue making progress.

These new capabilities enable you to quickly set goals across your entire team or organization, plan training around significant projects or initiatives and drive engagement by ensuring there's always something in the queue.

We encourage you to check out these capabilities and let us know what you think. Please reach out to your Customer Success Manager if you have any questions.
