Together, they will enable enterprises and employees to adapt their workforce skills among evolving technologies and market dynamics, ensuring long-term business resilience.
The Degreed Skills dashboard will integrate Faethm by Pearson data sets, offering real-time insights into the most relevant skills across industries.

This combined solution helps enterprises drive productivity and innovation through focused training programs that align with their strategic goals, ensuring they maintain a competitive edge in an evolving marketplace.

“We are thrilled to extend our partnership with Pearson to embed Faethm into the core Degreed platform. Every one of our clients is challenged to keep up with the pace of change. This new integration will provide L&D professionals with actionable, up-to-date insight into demand for workforce skills so they can deliver more personalized learning to their teams,” said Max Wessel, co-CEO of Degreed. “This builds upon Degreed’s innovations in skills, automation, and AI. Today, clients don’t need to choose between scaling learning programs to reach more employees and personalizing those programs so they can drive workforce outcomes with pinpoint precision. They can have both.”
Today’s announcement is part of Pearson’s ongoing strategic commitment to the enterprise and workforce skills market. It builds on the existing partnership between Degreed and Pearson, which recognizes key achievements and validates high-value skills through Pearson’s digital credential platform, Credly. These credentials are awarded based on the completion of learning pathways within Degreed’s platform, which may include assessment results, course completions and other predefined criteria.
Credly and Faethm are part of Pearson’s Workforce Skills division, which is focused on preparing individuals and organizations for the future of work. Pearson’s enterprise focused businesses help people build high demand skills and provide organizations with solutions for strategic workforce planning, digital credentialling, role assessments, and GED education.
