Our take

Platforms to help employers upskill their people have become more in-demand in recent times. Degreed is a high-calibre name in this space, used by over a third of Fortune 500 companies. Some of their best known clients include Pepsico, Shopify, American Airlines, Boeing, HP and Visa.

Alongside providing courses, books, videos, articles and podcasts for skills development, the company uses the data it gathers to connect learners with suitable projects and job opportunities. This is where Degreed’s best value lies, as employees are more likely to trust and remain loyal to companies where they can see a path for how skills development allows for career growth.

With strong support and funding, Degreed is well-positioned to continue its growth trajectory. As organisations seek to differentiate themselves as workplaces, and use employee benefits to this end, there should be no shortage of potential clients for the company.
