Preparation plan

Know exactly what to learn next — in order, with a finish line.

What it is

The preparation plan is your personalized learning path. Upskiller analyzes your profile, career goals, and the skill gaps from your job matches, then lays out a multi-week plan: phases, goals, concrete tasks with time estimates and resources, and milestones to aim for. Tick tasks off as you go and watch your progress climb.

Availability: Available on all plans. Progress tracking is part of the Starter and Pro plans.

When to use it

When you know your target role but not the path to it — or when a job match keeps surfacing the same gaps. Generate it early in a search and work through it alongside your applications.

How to use it

1. Open Preparation plan and click Generate plan. It analyzes your profile and skill gaps — this takes a moment.
2. Review what it produces:
   • a short summary and an overall progress bar
   • Milestones — checkpoints by week
   • Phases — click a phase to expand it and see its goals and tasks
3. Each task shows a category (learning, project, networking, or certification), a rough time estimate, a description, and resource links.
4. Click the circle on a task to mark it complete — your progress updates as you go.
5. Click Regenerate anytime to rebuild the plan, for example after your target role or profile changes.

Tips & best practices

• Generate it after a match or two. Real skill gaps from the job matcher make the plan sharper than profile data alone.
• Work one phase at a time. The order is deliberate — earlier phases set up later ones.
• Tick tasks as you finish. Visible progress keeps momentum, and the plan reflects how far you've come.
• Regenerate when your target shifts. A new desired role should mean a new plan — don't grind through a stale one.

Troubleshooting / FAQ

• Nothing happens when I click generate. Plan generation can take up to a minute — wait for the Generating your plan… state to finish.
• The plan feels generic. Complete your profile, run a job match to surface real gaps, then regenerate.
• Will regenerating reset my progress? Yes — regenerating builds a fresh plan and replaces the current one, including completed tasks. Regenerate only when you want to start over.
• Can I have more than one plan? The page shows your latest plan; regenerating replaces it.
