Meet “Sage” from Workera, the First AI Mentor For Workforce Skills Development

Sage Produces Verified Skills Data of Every Employee via Personalized Skills Assessments and Accelerated Learning Pathways Powering Every Step of the Hire-to-Retire Journey

Workera, the leading AI-powered skills technology platform, today announced the launch of Sage, the first-ever AI mentor designed to transform enterprise learning and development. Sage represents a leap forward in verified skills intelligence by powering conversational skill assessments and personalized learning pathways to deliver a supportive mentorship experience that bridges the gap between learning and application.

“The corporate training industry is flooded with billions of dollars of legacy content,” said Josh Bersin, Global Industry Analyst. “Employees and organizations desperately want personalized solutions to tailor content to their needs, to help save money, time, and make upskilling a productive experience.”

Sage, named for its resemblance to a wise or helpful individual, works by applying the latest large language models (LLMs) in a multi-agent capability to create tailored experiences that continuously evolve through active conversations with both learners and admins. For learners, Sage adapts to their unique needs – including their role, personal goals, and skill levels over time, acting as a supportive, empathetic guide. For managers and admins, Sage offers seamless onboarding, actionable insights, talent analytics, and data-driven recommendations across the employee lifecycle from pre-hire-to-retire.
