# New Program

## <mark style="color:green;">What are Programs?</mark>

Programs in Skolarli are used to organize and manage training courses or learning paths delivered to participants.

Each Program can contain multiple Topics, and each Topic can contain multiple Lessons or Sub-topics as well, they are called Program curriculum. We'll cover curriculum in detail under 'Program Contents'. To directly explore Program Curriculum management, refer to the Program Curriculum section, [click here](https://app.gitbook.com/o/MpwpdS7ddBcUfF6SyfSw/s/hbvtR5t4Lx9A580F0Dea/~/edit/~/changes/86/program-management/all-programs/curriculum)

## <mark style="color:green;">How to Create a Program?</mark>

To create a new program, you can use the navigation menu on the left side of your Skolarli application, upon clicking the link called **‘Programs ⇒ New Program’**, a program creation form is displayed to enter details about the program you wish to offer.

**For example,** the following workflow demonstrates the creation of a **Personality Development Program.**

Enter the required program information in the form and click the **New Program** butto&#x6E;*.*

This screen displays the basic program setup section, where administrators can enter the program name, configure the program status (Draft or Inactive), and select the appropriate Program Category. Administrators can define the key skills and competencies participants will gain from the program, helping classify, define, and manage the program before publishing.

In addition to the details provided in the form, you also have the option to enhance the presentation of your program by adding a cover image. Remember the saying "A picture speaks a thousand words":smile:

“**Enable Drip Content**” releases learning content sequentially based on Participant progress, after participants complete topics and sub-topics in the configured sequence.

## <mark style="color:green;">What happens once a program is created?</mark>

Newly created programs remain in Draft status until they are published. This means that only Skolarli instance administrators within your organization can view the program on the dashboard. In order for the program to become accessible to learners and the wider audience, you must publish it.

You have the flexibility to continue making edits and adding additional content to the program as needed or until you are satisfied with the program contents. Once you feel the program is fully prepared, you can proceed to publish it, making it available for learners to access.

**Note:** Programs can be published only after curriculum content has been added. Until published, the program remains in Draft status.&#x20;

**Draft ⇒ Curriculum Added ⇒ Published**

**Pro Tip:** Opt for program titles that are concise, engaging, and easily understandable.
