DEGREED OPEN LIBRARY

Grow Learning While Spending Less on Content

The New Approach Can Save Millions

AI is redefining how L&D and HR teams design, deliver, and fund learning. Enterprises waste millions of dollars every year on overlapping, under-used content libraries. Learning budgets are evolving to do more with less—shifting from content-heavy spending to strategic investments that build real workforce capabilities.

HR and L&D leaders need to:

  • Cut costs without cutting capability
  • Reduce redundancy and learning fatigue
  • Build adaptable, AI-ready workforces
L&D Budgets Are Evolving
