Our take
Companies are struggling to find a learning platform that can upskill and reskill their talent quickly, in accordance with the fast development of the technology used in different key roles such as data science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.
Workera is an upskilling startup that helps companies evaluate their data and AI capabilities and provide their employees with personalized learning plans to keep them updated on the latest technologies and practices. The company uses AI and machine learning to evaluate the current skillset's within a company and to design a learning plan that will help businesses' workforce reach a particular level of understanding of new technology.
Recently, the company strengthened its enterprise footprint through a partnership with Udemy. The collaboration brings together Workera's AI-powered skills assessment with Udemy's global learning marketplace, creating an end-to-end solution that allows organizations to identify capability gaps and deliver more targeted training.
As demand for GenAI and advanced technical skills continues to grow, this partnership puts Workera at the centre of a more integrated, data-driven approach to workforce development, helping enterprise move beyond just one-off courses and toward continuous upskilling.
