What is a goal?
A goal in Juno is a structured development objective with action items, target skills, a timeline, and optional mentor support. Goals help you track professional growth — whether learning a new skill, preparing for a role change, or hitting a business target.

Action items
Each goal contains action items — the specific tasks you need to complete. Action items fall into three categories:
Action items can link to:
- Internal content — courses from your Company Academy
- External content — courses from the On-Demand Catalog
- External links — any URL
- General tasks — freeform to-do items
Skills and competencies
Goals can include skills and competencies you’re working to develop. Each skill has a target level (1–5). As you progress, update your skill level to track growth over time. Skills in your goals connect to your organization’s competency framework — see Competencies & Skills.Mentors and learning buddies
Goals support two types of support relationships: Expert / Mentor:- You select a mentor when creating the goal
- The mentor receives a notification and can accept or decline
- Once accepted, they can view your goal, track your progress, and leave notes
- Mentors see all goals they’re mentoring in a dedicated Expert view
- A peer who supports your development
- They can see and collaborate on your goal
