    You need to have a new property like SelectedUserSkillId in ViewModel and bind this to select

    public class User: IEntity
{
    [Key]
    public int id { get; set; }
    ...
    public IList<UserSkill> UserSkills { get; set; }
    public List<string> SelectedUserSkillIds { get; set; } //--> Add a new property
}

    Also, you need to indicate that to select

    <div class="form-group col-md-6">
     <label>User Skills</label>
     <select name="SelectedUserSkillIds" asp-for="SelectedUserSkillIds" asp-items="@(new SelectList(ViewBag.Skills,"Value", "Text"))" class="form-control select2" multiple="multiple" data-placeholder="Select a Skills" style="width: 100%;"></select>
</div>

    Try to add a List<int> type property type data to User to bind the selected skillids.

    public class User : IEntity
{
    ...
    public List<int> SelectedSkillIds { get; set; }
}

    And then try to change the name of <select></select> to SelectedSkillIds.Because .net core bind data with name attribute.

    <div class="form-group col-md-6">
     <label>User Skills</label>
     <select name="SelectedSkillIds" asp-items="@(new SelectList(ViewBag.Skills,"Value", "Text"))" class="form-control select2" multiple="multiple" data-placeholder="Select a Skills" style="width: 100%;"></select>
</div>
