Adding education specializations

The education specialization is a field on the education record of a candidate or resource. This field is not required.

The education specializations are displayed when a resource or candidate, their proxy manager, or recruiter adds an education record. If the specialization is not in the list, they specify the name of the specialization in the Other field. You can then add all the other specializations to the list so that they are selectable in the future.

  1. Select Administrator > Qualifications > Education.
  2. Select the Education Specializations tab.
  3. Click Create, and specify this information:
