You can’t hire your way out of the global talent crisisTo remain competitive and agile, you need people with the right skills to get the job done effectively. That can be a challenge in today’s economy where there’s a clear shortage of talent. According to The McKinsey Global Institute, “By 2020, the global labor market faces a shortage of 38-40 million college educated workers.”2 To respond to change and satisfy skill gaps, you need to build and foster internal talent with learning opportunities that are accessible and targeted.

Skillsoft helps organizations lay the foundation for a learning culture that fosters continuous learning and engagement by delivering and tailoring superior performance-based learning and development solutions. Our unique combination of content, service and experience impacts critical areas of performance

and generates powerful business outcomes for organizations spanning across industries and the globe.

ContentSkillsoft is one of the most comprehensive providers of elearning products and services in the world.

Skillsoft solutions can help your employees to reach their full potential, empowering them to enhance their skills, advance their careers and advance your business. Blend Skillsoft content into your corporate learning programs or use the resources to create a standalone program.
