HCLTech and Pearson have announced a multi-year strategic partnership aimed at accelerating AI-led upskilling across enterprises, government bodies, and higher education institutions.

The collaboration seeks to equip individuals and organizations with the tools needed to adapt to rapid technological changes, particularly those driven by artificial intelligence.

The partnership will focus on co-developing AI-powered learning products, assessments, and workforce analytics.

HCLTech and Pearson will design these offerings to support career advancement, talent development, and strategic workforce planning.

Core Components of the Partnership Between HCLTech and Pearson

The initiative is structured around three strategic pillars:

  • Go-to-Market Acceleration: HCLTech and Pearson will jointly develop and deliver AI-powered learning and assessment solutions tailored to enterprise clients. HCLTech and Pearson will target high-demand sectors with these solutions and scale them through digital engineering capabilities.
  • AI Innovation Lab: A dedicated AI Tech Lab will serve as the hub for co-innovation. The lab will focus on building next-generation learning products using HCLTech’s Career Shaper™ platform and GenAI technologies, enabling personalized and scalable learning experiences.
  • Strategic Talent Design: The partnership will leverage Pearson’s Faethm AI platform and Credly credentialing tools to provide actionable workforce insights. These insights will help organizations align learning investments with business goals, reduce skill gaps, and future-proof their talent pipelines.

Integration Within HCLTech’s Ecosystem

HCLTech will embed Pearson’s AI-powered learning and assessment tools across its internal HR ecosystem.

This includes structured learning pathways, verified digital credentials, and career progression frameworks.

The integration aims to enhance internal workforce capabilities and serve as a model for external clients.

C Vijayakumar, CEO & Managing Director of HCLTech, emphasized the transformative potential of the partnership.

He said, “As GenAI and digital engineering redefine what’s possible in education and workforce development, we are thrilled to expand this collaboration globally.”

Vijayakumar added, “Together, we have a unique opportunity to create transformative learning experiences and unlock competitive advantages for learners and institutions around the world”.

HCLTech and Pearson Partnership Addressing the Global Skills Gap

The partnership responds to growing concerns about the impact of AI on employment and skill requirements.

Omar Abbosh, CEO of Pearson, noted, “Workers and employers around the world continue to be challenged by the rise of AI in the workplace.”

He added, “This is causing a growing skills gap that needs our attention quickly.”

Omar stated, “Together with HCLTech, we will equip people with the AI-driven learning tools and the skills that help them navigate continuous change and build successful, resilient careers”.

By combining Pearson’s global expertise in learning and assessment with HCLTech’s strengths in digital transformation and AI, the initiative aims to deliver scalable, data-driven solutions that support inclusive workforce development.

Implications for Enterprises and Government

The partnership will benefit a wide range of stakeholders, including:

  • Enterprises seeking to reskill employees for AI-integrated roles
  • Government agencies aiming to build future-ready public sector workforces
  • Educational institutions looking to align curricula with emerging industry needs

The collaboration also reinforces Pearson’s commitment to integrating AI across its product portfolio and advancing its enterprise skilling strategy.
