Learning Paths

1. Overview

Authors and assigns sequenced learning paths inside the LMS. Masters learning_paths; consumes skill_profiles (mastered by SKILLS-MGMT after migration) to recommend paths against skill gaps.

2. Entity summary

Name	data_object	Description
Curricula	curricula	Grouped learning paths and courses targeting a role, function, or compliance scope.
Learning Path Assignments	learning_path_assignments	Assignments of a learning path to a learner, tracking overall path progress and completion percentage.
Learning Path Steps	learning_path_steps	Ordered steps inside a learning path, each pointing to a course, sub-path, or external resource with sequencing rules.
Learning Paths	learning_paths	Curated sequences of courses targeting a role, skill, or certification, driving ordered enrollment and progress tracking.
Learning Plans	learning_plans	Personalized learning plans composed of multiple paths or courses, often manager-curated or recommended against skill gaps.
Learning Recommendations	learning_recommendations	Per-learner content suggestions generated from skill gaps and the learner’s role profile.
Prerequisite Rules	prerequisite_rules	Gating rules that control learning-path progression, requiring completions, scores, certifications, or competencies before the next step.
Skill Targets	skill_targets	Learning-path steps, each binding a skill to a target proficiency threshold to reach.
Certifications	learner_certifications	Credentials issued to a worker (internal, vendor, or regulatory), with issue date, expiry, issuing body, and renewal rules. Drives recertification campaigns.
Course Enrollments	course_enrollments	Per-learner per-course records tracking assigned and due dates, attempts, status, and score.
Employees	employees	Canonical records of people currently or formerly employed, carrying identity, employment metadata, and links to position, manager, and org unit.
Job Profiles	job_profiles	Canonical role definitions in the job catalog: title, family, level, responsibilities, required skills, pay range, and FLSA class. Many positions share one profile.
Org Units	org_units	Nodes in the organizational hierarchy such as divisions, departments, and teams, with manager, cost center alignment, geographic scope, and parent-child links.
Positions	hcm_positions	Approved org slots with role definition, cost center, reporting line, location, and FTE allocation. Each can be open, filled, or eliminated.
Performance Goals	performance_goals	Individual performance goals with owner, period, metric, weight, and status, aligned to organizational objectives and reviewed within performance cycles.
Skill Profiles	skill_profiles	Per-worker collections of skills with self-assessed and validated proficiency, derived from courses, certifications, and performance signals.
Skills Gap Analyses	skills_gap_analyses	Comparisons of current skills inventory against future demand by role, level, and location, guiding build, buy, or borrow decisions.

6. Cross-domain context

6.1 Master consumers (other modules / domains that embed this scope’s masters)

(none: no other module embeds this scope’s masters; the canonical owners do.)

6.2 Outbound handoffs (events this scope publishes)

source module	target domain	target module	trigger_event	transition	payload	integration	friction	description
HCM-CORE-WORKER	HRSD	HRSD-CASE-MGMT	employee.terminated	terminated (lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	medium	Termination kicks off offboarding case (exit interview, knowledge transfer, paperwork). Multiple downstream HRSD tasks created.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	IGA	IGA-ACCESS-REQUEST	employee.created	created (lifecycle)	employees	api_call	high	New employee in HCM triggers directory account creation and birthright-role assignment in IGA. High friction because role-to-entitlement mappings drift per business unit, and IGA frequently needs additional context (cost center, manager, location) that arrives later in the journey. Same trigger event as the HCM → Onboarding and HCM → Payroll handoffs.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	IGA	IGA-ACCESS-REQUEST	employee.promoted	(lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	high	Promotion (mover event) requires entitlement re-evaluation: add new role access, revoke prior-role access. SoD risk window during transition.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	IGA	IGA-ACCESS-REQUEST	employee.terminated	terminated (lifecycle)	employees	api_call	high	Termination in HCM must immediately revoke identity access in IGA: disable account, remove group memberships, terminate app-level entitlements. Failure modes: contractor terminations not flowing (different HCM table); rehires confuse the de-provisioning idempotency; access lingers after termination is the canonical audit finding.
HCM-ORG-POSITIONS	IGA	IGA-ACCESS-REQUEST	org_unit.created	(state_change)	org_units	event_stream	medium	New org unit drives IGA group/role provisioning. Group-name conventions and ownership must be encoded; otherwise orphan groups proliferate.
HCM-ORG-POSITIONS	IGA	IGA-ACCESS-REQUEST	org_unit.disbanded	(state_change)	org_units	event_stream	high	Org-unit disbandment requires IGA group cleanup; orphan-group risk if employees re-assigned slowly.
HCM-ORG-POSITIONS	IGA	IGA-ACCESS-REQUEST	org_unit.merged	(state_change)	org_units	event_stream	high	Org-unit merge consolidates IGA groups: members migrate, entitlements deduplicated, SoD revalidated. Often runs as a batch project rather than event.
LMS-CREDENTIALS	IGA	IGA-AUTO-PROVISIONING	learner_certification.expired	(threshold)	learner_certifications	api_call	high	-
LMS-CREDENTIALS	IGA	IGA-AUTO-PROVISIONING	learner_certification.renewed	(lifecycle)	learner_certifications	api_call	medium	-
LMS-CREDENTIALS	IGA	IGA-AUTO-PROVISIONING	learner_certification.revoked	(lifecycle)	learner_certifications	api_call	high	-
HCM-CORE-WORKER	HCM	HCM-LIFECYCLE-WORKFLOWS	employee.created	created (lifecycle)	employees	lifecycle_progression	low	New worker record surfaces in self-service: manager dashboard, new-hire welcome surface, lifecycle task inbox. In-process state read; no message bus.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	HCM	HCM-LIFECYCLE-WORKFLOWS	employee.terminated	terminated (lifecycle)	employees	lifecycle_progression	low	Termination drives the offboarding self-service flow: exit-interview prompt, equipment-return task, knowledge-handoff surfaces in the lifecycle workflow module.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	PAYROLL	PAYROLL-RUN	employee.created	created (lifecycle)	employees	api_call	medium	New employee in HCM triggers comp profile activation in Payroll: gross-to-net rules selected by jurisdiction, deductions initialised, bank account and tax setup collected via Onboarding flow. Same trigger event as the HCM → Onboarding handoff; both subscribe to the employee.created event.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	PAYROLL	PAYROLL-RUN	employee.promoted	(lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	medium	Promotion typically includes salary change. Effective-dated change must flow to PAYROLL with retroactive handling.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	PAYROLL	PAYROLL-RUN	employee.terminated	terminated (lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	high	Termination drives final pay (severance, accrued PTO payout, prorated bonus). Cross-vendor stack when HCM and PAYROLL are different vendors; retro-adjustments are common.
HCM-ORG-POSITIONS	ATS	ATS-RECRUITMENT-PIPELINE	hcm_position.approved	(state_change)	hcm_positions	api_call	medium	-
HCM-ORG-POSITIONS	ATS	ATS-RECRUITMENT-PIPELINE	hcm_position.approved_for_creation	approved_for_creation (lifecycle)	hcm_positions	event_stream	medium	Approved position flows to ATS as the basis for a requisition. Approval state must be in sync to avoid requisitions opened against unapproved positions.

HCM-CORE-WORKER	TALENT-MGMT	TALENT-PERFORMANCE-MGMT	employee.created	created (lifecycle)	employees	api_call	low	New employee triggers talent-profile initialisation in Talent Management: career aspirations, mobility preferences, skills profile stubs. Same employee.created trigger as Onboarding / Payroll / IGA handoffs.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	TALENT-MGMT	TALENT-PERFORMANCE-MGMT	employee.promoted	(lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	low	Promotion updates succession-plan slots and 9-box placement context.
LMS-COURSE-DELIVERY	TALENT-MGMT	TALENT-SUCCESSION-CAREER	course_enrollment.completed	(lifecycle)	course_enrollments	event_stream	low	Course completion updates skill-profile; TALENT-MGMT reflects in dev-plans and succession.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	WFM	(domain-level)	employee.created	created (lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	low	New employee provisioned in HCM becomes a schedulable resource in WFM - identity, position, base FTE. Mid-shift onboarding and badge-binding are typical edge cases.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	COMP-MGMT	COMP-PLANNING	employee.created	created (lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	low	New-hire creation provides compensation basis. Bands and grades attach via job profile.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	COMP-MGMT	COMP-PLANNING	employee.promoted	(lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	low	Promotion event triggers off-cycle compensation review (eligibility, band placement, increase recommendation) in COMP-MGMT.
HCM-ORG-POSITIONS	COMP-MGMT	COMP-PLANNING	hcm_position.approved_for_creation	approved_for_creation (lifecycle)	hcm_positions	event_stream	low	Approved position carries grade/band, anchoring offer-comp generation.
HCM-ORG-POSITIONS	COMP-MGMT	COMP-BENCHMARKING	job_profile.published	(state_change)	job_profiles	event_stream	low	Job profile links to salary bands; COMP-MGMT mapping authoritative.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	BEN-ADMIN	BEN-ENROLLMENT	employee.created	created (lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	medium	New-hire creation seeds benefits eligibility (waiting periods, default elections). Drives carrier feed setup at end of new-hire window.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	BEN-ADMIN	BEN-ENROLLMENT	employee.terminated	terminated (lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	high	Termination triggers benefits termination, COBRA / equivalent notices, and dependent coverage decisions. Late notifications cause coverage gaps.
HCM-ORG-POSITIONS	FIN	(domain-level)	org_unit.created	(state_change)	org_units	api_call	medium	New org unit usually maps to cost-center; ERP-FIN must reflect the structure for budgeting and labor allocation.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	EXPENSE	(domain-level)	employee.terminated	terminated (lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	medium	Termination triggers EXPENSE corporate-card deactivation and outstanding-report close-out.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	PSA	PSA-PROJECT-DELIVERY	employee.terminated	terminated (lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	medium	Terminated employee may be the assignee on open project_tasks. PROJECT-DELIVERY needs to surface affected tasks for reassignment or completion handover.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	PSA	PSA-RESOURCE-MGMT	attrition_risk.high	(state_change)	employees	event_stream	high	ML attrition score crosses high threshold. PSA resource managers may proactively rebalance assignments away from at-risk consultants on critical engagements. High friction: probabilistic→deterministic pattern (score requires judgment call), false-positive volume can swamp the staffing queue.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	PSA	PSA-RESOURCE-MGMT	employee.created	created (lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	low	New consultant hired. PSA resource pool adds the employee as available capacity; skill inventory record is seeded for downstream certifications.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	PSA	PSA-RESOURCE-MGMT	employee.promoted	(lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	low	Consultant promoted (level / job profile change). PSA reevaluates billable rate band and skill inventory; existing project_assignments may need rate revision.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	PSA	PSA-RESOURCE-MGMT	employee.terminated	terminated (lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	medium	Consultant terminated. PSA must release any active project_assignments, return capacity to bench and re-allocate forecast. Medium friction: leaver-event timing varies (immediate vs notice period) and active assignments may need urgent rebalancing.
HCM-ORG-POSITIONS	PSA	PSA-RESOURCE-MGMT	job_profile.activated	(state_change)	job_profiles	event_stream	low	Job profile activated for production. PSA makes the role assignable on new project_assignments and project_resource_allocations.
HCM-ORG-POSITIONS	PSA	PSA-RESOURCE-MGMT	job_profile.published	(state_change)	job_profiles	event_stream	low	New job profile published. PSA picks up the role definition (competencies, level) as a new shape for skill-based demand modeling and resource_skill_inventories matching.
HCM-ORG-POSITIONS	PSA	PSA-RESOURCE-MGMT	job_profile.retired	(state_change)	job_profiles	event_stream	low	Job profile retired. PSA blocks new assignments to the role and surfaces a migration list for any existing project_assignments still referencing it.
HCM-ORG-POSITIONS	PSA	PSA-RESOURCE-MGMT	job_profile.updated	(state_change)	job_profiles	event_stream	low	Job profile updated (competencies, level, responsibilities). PSA revalidates the resource pool’s skill matches and surfaces gaps via existing resource_skill_inventory.gap_identified signal.

HCM-CORE-WORKER	ATS	ATS-CANDIDATE-CRM	candidate.hired	hired (lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	medium	Candidate-to-employee conversion: hired candidate from ATS triggers employee-record creation in HCM. Field mapping (candidate → employee) is rarely perfect; missing fields (legal name spelling, work-eligibility detail, tax IDs) get collected in the Onboarding journey and back-filled into HCM.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	COMP-MGMT	COMP-PLANNING	merit_cycle.approved	approved (state_change)	employees	event_stream	low	Cycle-close pay-rate changes post to the worker record (base salary, bonus target, equity guideline).

Probabilistic-signal → deterministic-action pattern: a risk score is not a directive; intervention is gated by manager judgment, data-privacy rules (anonymity floor), and DEI-bias concerns.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	PA	PA-PREDICTIVE-MODELS	attrition_risk.high	(state_change)	employees	event_stream	high	Flight-risk score flagged on employee; HR-business-partner motion required. Probabilistic-signal-to-deterministic-action friction shape; false-positive volume drives mistrust.
