Making Your Skills, Automation, and AI Vision a Reality

You don’t have to choose between personalization and scale. 

You don’t have to choose between connectivity and functionality. 

You don’t have to choose between efficiency and impact. 

And you definitely don’t have to choose between what’s good for the employee and what’s good for the business. 

Today at Degreed Vision, we demonstrated this new reality—centered around skills, automations, and AI. Personalized learning that’s fast and at scale is more possible than ever with:

  • Better workforce skill data that powers business decisions 
  • Easy-to-use automations that deliver learning to the right people at the right time
  • AI coaching that makes career development accessible for every employee

Join us for a look at the highlights…

Let’s start with some visuals to get you in the right headspace. Made entirely using AI, this video illustrates the potential of new technology to change the way we work, learn, and operate—in the best ways:

We’re adding new product features to develop your workforce.

To transform your workforce to meet the changing needs of your industry, you need the latest and greatest ways to pinpoint skill needs, personalize development, and measure growth. 

Our innovations in skills, automations, and AI are uniquely positioned to deliver on those needs:

  • Degreed Skills+
    • What it is: New functionality that helps you better manage and infer skills, then connect skills to content to ensure the most valuable and impactful skill data.
    • Status: Pre-releasing to clients in December.
  • Degreed Automations:
    • What it is: A tool to create customized set-it-and-forget-it learning reminders and nudges to boost engagement and better tailor learning.

  • Degreed Maestro
    • What it is: An AI-driven virtual voice and text coach for personalized skill assessments, executive coaching, learning application, and reflection.
    • Status: Limited access coming soon in our Oct. 22 product release.

We’re adding more partnerships to our ecosystem.

Today, Degreed is connected to more than 3,500 sources of learning content, providing access to 39 million learning resources in 35 languages. 

We’ve always been committed to an open technology ecosystem that connects your organization with all the best content, assessment tools, and skill data, no matter the operating system or platform. It’s why we set up Degreed the way we did. Learners—and businesses—benefit when we take an open approach. It fosters innovation for L&D, tech stack interoperability, and better learning outcomes for every worker. 

In the spirit of further pushing the industry forward, we’re launching a new “AI-Ready” partner category to our ecosystem with Simplilearn, Pluralsight, TED@Work, and edX being the first partners to join. These will be the first partners to co-innovate with Degreed to improve the data feeds that inform search and learning pathway curation, so it’s easier for users to discover the content they need.

We’re also welcoming new and enhanced Skill Validation Partners to bring the assessment data you rely on to the learning environment you leverage to drive change. These include HackerEarth, iMocha, Skillable, and Workera. (You’ll want to watch a 10-minute interview with the Workera Founder and CEO, starting at the 56-minute mark of the Vision event, which is available on demand. Thank me later!)

Finally, we also have an enhanced partnership for industry skill data: Degreed + Pearson.

You might already be using the Degreed + Pearson integration to issue digital credentials through the Pearson Credly platform. Now, this partnership will bring Pearson market intelligence data directly into Degreed, so you can get an unparalleled view of industry skill data.

Our Vision for the future of learning wasn’t created in isolation, and it won’t be achieved in isolation either. That’s why we continue to grow our partnerships—to benefit you, our users.

That’s also why, when it came to our core pillars of skills, automation, and AI, we gathered input from all kinds of industry experts—especially practitioners, leaders, and researchers.

The experts at Vision had great things to say…

… About Skills

“If you don’t understand your skills then you can’t make the right talent decisions. You’re essentially shooting in the dark. You can’t develop your people effectively. You can’t match them to the right projects. You can’t identify opportunities internally for them.” – Kian Katanforoosh, CEO and Founder at Workera

About Automations

“We know who our users are. We know where they are. We know what they’re interested in, and Automations can deliver that personal experience that promotes the content that’s right for them at the right time.” – Andrew Seddon, Learning Experience Platform Specialist at BT

About AI

“I do think that AI will enable us to have more time to think more critically about what we’re doing, to ask better questions, to connect with other people more and better, and to hopefully be able to meet other people where they are because we’re not so distracted by some of these other things around us.” – Stacia Garr, Co-Founder & Principal Analyst at RedThread
