At Degreed, we\u2019ve spent countless hours talking to our customers and partners about the challenges and opportunities<\/em> of using skill data to drive positive business outcomes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If there\u2019s one thing we\u2019ve learned, it’s that running a skills-based organization<\/a> requires more than insights from content vendors and learning programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putting skills first to power talent decisions requires skill validation\u2014often in multiple ways<\/strong>. Identifying skill gaps, building accurate baselines, and making the right decision means assessing and confirming the skills your people have<\/em> and the skills they need<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why we\u2019re thrilled about our new and enhanced Skill Validation Partnerships with HackerEarth<\/a>, iMocha<\/a>, Workera<\/a>, and Skillable<\/a>, which join a number of existing assessment and badging integrations including Pluralsight<\/a>, CredSpark<\/a>, and Credly<\/a>. These partnerships are designed to seamlessly integrate verified skill data into the Degreed platform\u2014from multiple sources and in multiple ways\u2014bringing the assessment data you rely on into the learning environment you\u2019re using to make valuable talent decisions and drive change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expand your range of skill validation.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Businesses will need a major skills upgrade<\/a>, according to industry analysts at the McKinsey Global Institute. \u201cDemand for technological skills could see substantial growth in Europe and in the United States (increases of 25 percent and 29 percent, respectively, in hours worked by 2030 compared to 2022). . . Demand for social and emotional skills could rise by 11 percent in Europe and by 14 percent in the United States. Underlying this increase is higher demand for roles requiring interpersonal empathy and leadership skills.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
