Explanation:

A skill inventory is a list of an individual’s professional competencies or skills. Such an inventory might also include education and professional experience. An employer might request a skills inventory from a current employee or potential employee to gauge how well that individual is likely able to meet company goals. What’s more is a company can use skills inventories to improve strategic planning efforts. Besides recruiting and training, skills inventories can also be used for succession planning. Should a key employee leave a company, there needs to be an individual or several individuals who are able to fill the talent gap.
