A skill category involves organizing and grouping related skill types into extensive categories. It serves as a higher-level grouping that helps in organizing and understanding different types of skills within a specific domain or context.

Skill categories provide a systematic way to group and manage various skill types. They offer a clear and organized structure, making it easier to navigate through different skill sets and facilitating better decision-making.

For instance, within the domain of Information Technology (IT), a skill category could be "Programming Languages". Under this category, various skill types such as Technical Skills (Python, Java, JavaScript, C++, and others), and others could be grouped.
