THE PROBLEM

Content library subscriptions are expensive

Your HR and L&D teams are expected to:

  • Deliver hyper-personalized learning experiences
  • Build an agile workforce that’s ready to innovate and implement AI
  • Ensure employees grow in the right direction—without redundant training or wasted resources

But here’s the reality:

  • Large scale transformation is needed: 59% of the world’s workforce will need skill transformation by 2030.
  • Businesses aren’t prepared: 42% of C-Suite leaders think their business isn’t prepared for the pace of change.
  • Organizations struggle to keep pace with the rapid rate of change: 90% of HR leaders cannot effectively anticipate the skills their workforce needs with the processes and systems they have now.
  • Today’s solutions aren’t enough to transform your talent: Many content library subscriptions are redundant, out-of-date, and underutilized.

That’s where Degreed Open Library comes in.

THE SOLUTION

Degreed Open Library

Too often, learning content is underused, duplicated within multiple sources, or are out of date. Degreed Open Library uses AI agents built for learning to curate pathways aligned to the most in-demand skills, supported by human experts for quality control. 

Whether it’s podcasts, videos, books, or articles, your employees get engaging, actionable content that helps them build the skills they need for the future. If your employees don’t have time to read a full book or watch a 30 minute training session, AI summaries are available so they can learn on the fly. Employees also have access to AI coaching within the learning path, ensuring they have a tutor if they need additional support or want to dive deeper into topics.
