Employer Demand
92% of employers say that durable skills, like critical thinking, communication, and collaboration, are more important than hard skills, but 89% say that it's hard to find candidates who have them. To make matters worse, the AI-driven transformation of the workplace is only increasing the demand for these skills. Learners who can prove they have these skills will have a leg up on competing for good paying jobs.
Proven Solution
SkillBuild durable skills courses build on our 20+ years of experience delivering award-winning educational simulations. The courses are self-paced, browser-based, and generally take less than 10 hours to complete. Assessment is automated and the awarded microcredential can be added to your resume, displayed on social media, or stored in a digital wallet.
Learn by Doing
Rather than ask learners quiz questions without context, SkillBuild courses put them into simulated workplace scenarios where they apply their skills to complete authentic challenges. These challenges are adaptively delivered by a virtual coach as the learner works their way to mastery of the course skills. SkillBuild courses are competency-based and deliver "just in time" remediation as needed.
