A career path defines a route to a job or position from a different job or position that is lower in the hierarchy. You can base career paths on either job progression or position progression, but not both. A job or position can appear in multiple career paths, but once only in any single career path.
You can identify career paths for a worker in various ways. For example, you can include the names of possible career paths:
In the Overall Rating and Comments or Advancement Potential sections of the worker's appraisal
In appraisal questionnaires
In a document or in comments attached to a worker's record
The career path is a hierarchy of jobs that you build from the top down. For example, for the job Area Sales Manager, you could define the following career path to show possible routes to that job:
For the AAP-Workforce Analysis report, you use career paths based on job progression to define lines of progression.
For career paths based on position progression, you define a standard position hierarchy.
