NEW PORT RICHEY, FL, UNITED STATES, December 12, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Skillable, the pioneer in performance-based learning and skill validation, has partnered with Degreed, the leading technology suite for lifelong learning and data-driven development. Skillable’s hands-on learning experience will be available in the Degreed suite, plus its performance-based skill validation will provide further confidence in the skill signals delivered to learners and managers in Degreed.

“The ability to validate an individual’s skills with high-fidelity evidence is foundational to building trust in the skills-based organization (SBO) concept many organizations are exploring,” said Dave Reed, Senior Vice President of Corporate and Business Development at Skillable. “We’re delighted to bring performance-based learning to Degreed and provide confidence in skill proficiency and job readiness to their extensive learning ecosystem.”

David Platt, Vice President of Product at Degreed said,

“With more organizations leveraging skills as the deciding factor in work and learning opportunities, validation of skill proficiency is more powerful than ever. Skillable’s hands-on learning solution helps to accelerate and validate skill level, a crucial step for any organization wishing to become skills first. We are excited to see what this partnership will bring both companies by simplifying access to the most effective types of learning with our complementary solutions.”
