Skillsoft Leads the Shift to Skills Management for Workforce Readiness<\/b><\/p>\n

Skillsoft announces the general availability of its next-generation skills management platform to power enterprise workforce readiness and outcomes<\/i><\/p>\n

BOSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nToday, Skillsoft<\/a> (NYSE: SKIL), the leading AI-native skills management platform built for the human + AI era, announced the general availability of its next-generation Skillsoft Percipio\u00ae<\/sup> Platform. The announcement reflects the growing need among enterprises for a stronger connection between learning, skills development, and business performance.<\/p>\n

\nAI is accelerating change across every industry and role. Skills that mattered a few years ago are no longer enough, and future needs are still being defined. Global research shows that roughly 40% of core workplace skills are expected to change by 2030 as AI and emerging technologies reshape how work gets done. This pace of change is putting new pressure on organizations to understand workforce readiness and impact.<\/p>\n

\nOrganizations continue to invest heavily in learning, yet many struggle to understand whether that investment is building real capability. Leaders often lack clear visibility into the skills they have today, the gaps emerging across roles, how to prioritize and close those gaps, and how learning translates into readiness and performance.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cCustomers are telling us the challenge is bigger than simply access to learning,\u201d said Ron Hovsepian, Chief Executive Officer of Skillsoft. \u201cThe challenge is knowing whether their workforce is ready for what\u2019s next. As work changes faster, organizations need clarity and results. They need to understand which skills matter, where they stand today, and how their talent development connects to real outcomes. That shift is driving the move toward end-to-end skills management.\u201d<\/p>\n

Why Skills Management Matters Now<\/b><\/p>\n

\nCurated, high-quality content remains essential. However, content on its own, without a platform that connects people, skills, and outcomes, often falls short of providing the visibility, proof of proficiency, and direction organizations now need. Learning effort alone does not guarantee results. Activity does not always translate into proficiency, confidence, or performance as roles and expectations continue to evolve.<\/p>\n

\nEmployees and leaders increasingly expect learning that is relevant to the work they do, personalized to specific roles, and applied in real situations. Yet only 10% of HR and L&D surveyed leaders<\/a> said they are fully confident their workforce has the skills needed to meet business goals over the next 12 to 18 months. Fewer than one in four organizations indicated having a consolidated view of workforce skills and capability.<\/p>\n

\nSkills management addresses this gap. By making skills visible and measurable across the learning lifecycle, organizations can align development to business priorities, guide learning with intent, and make better workforce decisions as needs continue to shift.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cLearning creates value when skills are visible and actionable across the business,\u201d said Gavin McQuillan, Head of Learning and Development at NatWest. \u201cThat means understanding the skills we have, the capabilities the work requires, and how learning can close that gap. Skillsoft helps us connect learning to skills development and workforce decisions so we can adapt as needs change.\u201d<\/p>\n
