Last week, Skillsoft announced it was partnering with Coursera. This would give Skillsoft’s customers, using the company’s Percipio platform, access to Coursera for Business content; approximately over 5,000 courses. 

“This integration will bring even more choices of high-quality content to learners and deliver increased value as employers seek to resell and upskill talent to overcome critical skills and talent shortages,” said Apratim Purakayastha, chief product and technology office at Skillsoft as reported by IBL News. 

Many employees and employers are focused on addressing workplace skills gaps by boosting retention. Burnout is a real problem that employers need to address, and Skillsoft and Coursera would provide accessible certifications, 300 skill sets, and 10,000 bite-sized clips directly within Skillsoft Percipio, that would reduce the need for multiple learning platforms. 

Higher ED Dive reports that Coursera’s revenue increased by 55% to $43.7 million in the second quarter last year. 

The partnership will only facilitate accessibility for employers, employees, and professionals wishing to improve their skill set.
