Pearson’s Workera deal targets a big workplace problem: No time to AI upskill
Pearson has agreed to acquire Workera to help businesses assess employees’ AI skills and target training where it’s needed most.
Pearson has acquired AI-focused skills platform Workera in a move to address the growing need for workforce upskilling in the age of artificial intelligence. The deal, announced on Sept. 29, marks a strategic partnership that combines Workera's technology and talent with Pearson's extensive experience in education and assessment.
Workera's AI-native approach to skills assessment, currently piloted in its Ambient program, aims to measure employees' skills "in the flow of work," offering a more efficient and effective means of upskilling. This integration is expected to enhance Pearson's enterprise offerings, enabling businesses to build AI-ready workforces more swiftly and effectively.
