Personalized skills development

Delivered at scale with smart and proactive recommendations: Up-skill, re-skill, cross-skill

Why skills development?

Skills development is not new, so what’s the big deal?

The concept of skills development has been around for decades. So, why is it such a hot topic…again? Traditional learning platforms continue to use self-assessment methods for determining skill mastery. This leads to misalignment with actual skill mastery because the learner doesn’t know what they don’t know. Learning content that is not tailored to individual needs results in disengaged learners and a lackluster experience. No one has been able to deliver on the promise of skills development and do it right. Until now. CYPHER Learning has the magic modern learners expect.
