Launched in April, Talent Exchange uses Eightfold’s matching algorithms to connect individuals, whose jobs have been impacted by COVID-19 with companies looking to hire for hundreds of thousands of open roles. Offering courses from Udemy will address the upskilling needs many workers face in order to qualify for the jobs they want most. More than 700 courses are available for free to people who sign up for Talent Exchange.
“Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic the workforce was already facing a massive need for reskilling, and with tens of millions unemployed in the United States in just the last two months, we are facing the largest job upheaval in modern history,” said Ashutosh Garg, Co-Founder and CEO of Eightfold.ai. “The massive impact on jobs and the economy means we have people who need new jobs, and in many cases new skills, to get the jobs they want most. We are excited to join with Udemy to bring their courses to folks so that they can upskill themselves quickly.”
