# Careers and Promotions

Chamilo includes a career management system that lets you define training paths and track learner progression through structured programs.

## Careers

![The careers list showing defined career paths with name and description](/files/CwD07UYYkcMthHKEwOKv)

A **career** represents a structured training path — a sequence of training steps that a learner follows to achieve a professional goal.

### Creating a Career

1. From the administration panel, navigate to **Careers**
2. Click **Create a career**
3. Enter a **name** and **description**
4. Save

## Promotions

A **promotion** represents a cohort or batch of learners progressing through a career. Think of it as a group of people going through the same career path at the same time.

### Linking to Sessions

After creating a promotion, you link sessions to it. This defines the sequence of training a learner must complete.

You can later replicate promotions to help creating the next promotion with copies of the same sessions, so your next promotion can be built in an instant.

### Creating a Promotion

1. Navigate to **Promotions**
2. Click **Create a promotion**
3. Enter a **name** and **description**
4. Link it to a **career**
5. Assign **sessions** to the promotion
6. Save

## How It Fits Together

* A **career** defines the path (e.g., "Junior Developer Certification")
* A **promotion** represents a cohort (e.g., "Class of March 2026")
* **Sessions** within the promotion deliver the actual training content

## Tips

* **Use for structured programs** — Careers and promotions are most useful for multi-stage training programs where learners progress through a defined sequence
* **Track completion** — Use the reporting tools to monitor how promotions are progressing through their career paths
