Degreed, the workforce upskilling platform for one-in-three Fortune 50 companies, has acquired Adepto, a Total Talent platform that provides visibility and access to the skill-sets of current, past, and potential workers.
Adepto enables organizations to build private Total Talent networks that intelligently match internal and external workers to project, gig, and job opportunities that fit their skills and career goals. It also provides business leaders with easy-to-use tools to track and access the skill-sets and interests of their entire pool of available talent — current and past employees, as well as contractors, freelancers, consultants, and potential new hires.
“Our clients and users want more than just an engaging learning experience,” said Degreed CEO, Chris McCarthy. “They want to continuously align their capabilities to new growth opportunities. To do that, they need real-time insights about the skills, experiences, and interests of all their workers — not spotty data from performance reviews or inferences from HCM systems. They also need a way to fluidly connect people to the right roles.”
“Adepto and Degreed coming together will empower businesses to meet market demands more efficiently,” said Adepto Founder and CEO, Chris Milligan. “We have always worked with organizations to better mobilize their Total Talent. Now, with Degreed’s LXP and skills measurement capabilities, we can also provide customers with end-to-end solutions for upskilling and transforming their workforces — cost-effectively and at scale.”
Degreed is a workforce learning and skills tracking platform which integrates and curates all the resources people use to learn, all in one place including learning management systems and millions of courses, videos, articles, books, and podcasts from thousands of sources. Then Degreed uses behavioral and data science to analyze everyone’s strengths and opportunities and to automatically personalize development based on their skills, roles, and goals. Founded in 2012, Degreed is headquartered in Pleasanton, California, with additional offices in San Francisco, Salt Lake City, New York, and Amsterdam.
