CYPHER Learning's AI-powered skills development joins AI Crosscheck as part of the CYPHER Agent

PLANO, Texas, September 10, 2024: CYPHER Learning, provider of the leading AI-powered learning platform for business and academic settings, launched its AI-powered skills development as part of CYPHER Agent – helping organizations automate and expedite the entire skills lifecycle-from creation to mapping and validation. CYPHER Learning is the first and only learning management system (LMS) company with a comprehensive set of AI-powered skills development features that automates skills development with top-notch precision, setting a new standard in delivering smart, efficient training. Major companies like Amazon and Cognizant recognize the critical need for upskilling. Amazon is investing over $1.2 billion to upskill 300,000 employees by 2025, while Cognizant plans to train more than 200,000 employees in digital skills by 2026. These efforts highlight the importance of comprehensive training programs to prepare employees for future demands. But developing and mapping skills in courses is often a lengthy and complex process, influenced by various factors such as course complexity, instructor expertise, stakeholder collaboration and curriculum alignment. Traditionally, this process can take weeks or months and requires continuous updates to stay relevant.

“In today's rapidly evolving business environment, companies must prioritize effective employee training to stay competitive,” said Graham Glass, CEO and Founder of CYPHER Learning. “The biggest challenge facing these companies is that many HR departments do not have the time to map and monitor skills development. We introduced AI-powered skills development to ease HR’s burden and help L&D instructors automate the process, so they can focus on building high-impact, personalized courses and teaching employees.”

CYPHER Learning's AI-powered skills development joins AI Crosscheck, the industry’s first AI-powered accuracy feature for AI-generated LMS content, as part of CYPHER Agent and provides a comprehensive, dynamic and efficient solution for employee training. Leveraging advanced AI capabilities, CYPHER AI-powered skills development helps reduce manual effort, align learning paths and assessments with relevant skills, and boost employee development while enhancing engagement. It also simplifies skill creation and mapping by offering:

• Extensive skills library: With over 5,000 preloaded skills, complete with keyword tagging and compliance with ONet and the European e-Competence Framework (e-CF), CYPHER Agent ensures comprehensive coverage. Clients can effortlessly upload any additional job roles or skills not preloaded, and the platform will automatically map these skills to the relevant course content, streamlining the entire process.
• Automatic content mapping: Aligns content with relevant skills, automating the mapping of skills to course materials, assessments, and reports. This ensures comprehensive training coverage and allows users to easily identify which sections cover specific skills.
• Time savings and efficiency: By automating the traditionally time-consuming process of mapping skills and assessments, CYPHER Agent significantly reduces the manual effort required. This allows organizations to focus on strategic growth and excellence.
• Automated assessment mapping: Seamlessly maps skills to various assessment types, streamlining the evaluation process and ensuring assessments are aligned with learning outcomes.
