# Adding skills

> How to add and manage skills on a worker profile in Visualcare

Worker skills help you match the right worker to the right shift. Skills assigned to a worker profile are used when searching for workers during rostering, making it easier to find someone with the right capabilities.

## What you'll need

* A worker profile open in VCore
* Skills configured in **Maintenance** → **Workers** → **Skills** (see [Compliance workflows and settings](/worker-management/compliance-workflows-and-settings) for details on managing maintenance lists)

## Instructions

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the skills tab">
    Navigate to the worker's profile and open the **Skills** tab in the lower section of the screen.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a single skill">
    Click **New Skill** to add a skill one at a time. Select the skill from the list and save.

    To edit an existing skill, double-click on the item.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add multiple skills at once">
    Click **Add Multiple Skills** to assign several skills in one go. Select the skills you need and confirm.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>Keep worker skills up to date so that rostering searches return accurate results. When a worker completes new training or gains a new qualification, add the corresponding skill to their profile.</Tip>
