A single word for "competences I want to acquire"

I am looking for a single word or term that describes "competences I want to acquire" or "skills I want to learn".

This stands opposite to "things I already know or can do", as in "my competences" and "my skills"; which are things I already learned. Opposite to that, are the things I still want to learn.

Objectives, and Goals come to mind, but to me (being a non-native English speaker) those don't entirely fit, I might be wrong. Goal seems more of a target, a 'place' where I want to end up. And objective is far broader, it can be used for "skills I want to learn" but also for "today's objective is to finish before 5".

Solution 1:

This had been a comment, but I'm adding it as an answer, since, after clarification, it satisfies the question.

Competencies that you want to acquire, objectives and goals in a subjectively positive sense, are aspirations:

[Merriam-Webster]
1 a : a strong desire to achieve something high or great
       // an aspiration to become famous
—usually plural
       // a young man with political/literary aspirations
2 b : an object of such desire
       // An acting career is her aspiration.
