Skills Gap Analysis Template for PowerPoint & Google Slides

Empower teams and organizations to bridge talent gaps effectively with this Skills Gap Analysis Template, fully compatible with PowerPoint and Google Slides. Designed with a clean, structured layout, this template offers a comprehensive framework for assessing employee skill levels and identifying key development opportunities.

This easy-to-use table format includes five essential columns:

• Skill Description
• Current Skill Level
• Skill Desired
• Gap (numeric difference)
• Action Plan (customizable section for growth strategies)

Each row provides a visual comparison between where the individual or team currently stands and where they need to be, using a numerical rating system (e.g., Basic to Expert). This allows HR professionals, team leaders, and training coordinators to identify critical skill gaps—such as in leadership, communication, and analytics—and prioritize them with actionable next steps.

The template supports clear decision-making by simplifying performance analysis and workforce planning. It can be used across departments to build training roadmaps, support performance reviews, and align upskilling initiatives with business goals.

Fully editable, this template can be tailored for different roles, departments, or industries. Whether you’re in human resources, talent development, education, or organizational consulting, this tool enhances strategic planning and professional growth.
