This lesson explains how to add a Skill Category. Skill categories are the highlest level in the skill schema, and cover aspects such as role level, experience and heavy hitters (heavy hitters are skills that cover a large amount of variations but amount to one thing).
A great example of a Category could be Experience, with a sub-category (or "Area") of Marketnig, containing specific skills such as: SEO, Digital Marketing, etc.
