English translation:skills inventory
Explanation:
Hi Tina. I looked at the from in question and came up with this possibility. I'm not sure it's the best choice. I used to fill these out as a manager, but it's been several years and I can't recall the HR-speak term for them right now. I'll keep trying. ;-)

"Recruiting. Tracking the skills and abilities of your current employee population can focus your recruiting efforts. Skills inventories provide an accounting of the abilities, skills, training and experience of its current employees and can help identify skills gaps. These inventories can help guide hiring decisions that will ensure employers have the manpower necessary to meet the current and future needs of the organization.

Training. Skills inventories can identify skills gaps for employees and allow employers to budget for and determine appropriate training programs."

Explanation:
We need more context (see Discussion), but meanwhile I offer this option.
Aircraft maintainers need to keep their skills updated and this is covered in their Aviation Technician Certificate

Example sentence(s):
  • Aicraft technicians must keep their certification up-to-date
