  Career type is a feature of SAP Talent Management (PA-TM) that allows an organization to define the career paths of its employees. It is used to define the different types of career paths available to employees, such as technical, managerial, or administrative. It also allows organizations to define the different levels within each career type, such as junior, mid-level, and senior. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Career type can be used to create a career path for each employee. This can be done by assigning a career type to each employee and then defining the different levels within that career type. For example, an employee may be assigned the technical career type and then have levels such as junior, mid-level, and senior defined for them.

This will help ensure that the career path is tailored to their individual needs and goals. Additionally, it is important to keep in mind that career paths can be changed over time as an employee’s skills and experience evolve.
