Based on the belief that it is knowledge, skills and experience, rather than a piece of paper, which defines people's futures, Degreed's mission is to help users to achieve their own personal educational missions.
Degreed is a high calibre name in the employee upskilling space and is used by over a third of Fortune 500 companies. Some of their best known clients include Pepsico, Shopify, American Airlines, Boeing, HP and Visa.
As well as providing a learning platform with courses, books, videos, articles and podcasts for skills development, the company also uses the data it gathers to connect learners with suitable projects and job opportunities, even within their own company. 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 just enough investor backing and funding to expand beyond their offices in the USA, the Netherlands, the UK and Australia, Degreed is well positioned to grow even more in the future, especially as organisations in these countries seek to use employee benefits to differentiate themselves.
