Learning leaders at a North America-based tech company<\/a> found success using Degreed to advance workforce development, powering and scaling an internal learning network globally, but their L&D journey didn\u2019t end there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our latest case study<\/a>, we explore how the organization began to see value in helping people advance their careers by matching them to on-the-job development opportunities outside their current roles or teams. They wanted to give managers tools to make this possible. To share talent. To help people practice new skills. To help them stretch and engage new mentors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have an opportunity, you too could post it, and maybe you get someone who’s even more skilled in that area. The message was that it’s a win-win for everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Workers who participated built new skills by breaking out of their comfort zones and applying new knowledge. Managers benefitted too. And the L&D team gained new insights it can use for future programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Degreed experiential learning helps those workers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
