You mean skill, weapon, armor, and tool proficiencies? You can get them from race, class, backgrounds, and feats. You can also get them from training during downtime.
Yes, to be technically accurate your Proficiency Bonus is the number you add to attacks and skill checks and starts at 2 for the first 5 levels of your character, then upgrades to 3 at level 5, then again at another couple times up to level 20. Gaining proficiency, so you can add your proficiency bonus to checks from the list of skills on the character sheet is another matter and has been answered already by others.

Your proficiency bonus increases as you level up.
