Pearson has agreed to acquire Workera, a platform designed to assess employees' AI skills. The move is aimed at helping businesses tackle a widespread workplace challenge: finding time to upskill staff in artificial intelligence.
Workera's assessments allow companies to identify specific skill gaps among their workers. Instead of applying a one-size-fits-all training program, employers can use the results to target training where it is needed most, making more efficient use of limited time.
The acquisition reflects growing pressure on organizations to build AI proficiency across their workforces. By combining Pearson's educational resources with Workera's assessment tools, the company hopes to offer a more practical path from evaluation to targeted learning.
