Free Skills Matrix Template
Know Who Can Run Every Job, on Every Shift.
One absence shouldn't shut down a line, but without a clear view of who's trained on what, gaps stay hidden until someone calls in sick.
This Excel skills matrix rates each employee from 1 (No Knowledge) to 5 (Trainer) across up to 12 skills, color-codes the grid, and calculates coverage against your requirements. Gaps flag automatically, and a summary tab rolls everything up across teams.
Use it to plan cross-training, staff shifts with confidence, and show auditors your training records are current.

Build a Team That Can Cover Any Gap.
Turnover, retirements, and new equipment constantly change who can do what on the floor.
A skills matrix keeps that picture current: where you're one person away from a gap, who's ready to step up, and who can train others.
It's the foundation of a skill development program, connecting training plans to the work that actually needs to get done.
