This partnership expands the depth of academic and professional learning available within the Skillsoft platform, while connecting that learning to how organizations build, apply, and track skills across the workforce. By linking trusted university-led education to enterprise skills priorities, organizations can better align learning investments to the capabilities needed as AI-driven change reshapes roles and workforce needs.

"The future of work will be defined by how effectively organizations connect skills to the way work actually gets done," said Ron Hovsepian, Chief Executive Officer, Skillsoft. "Skillsoft connects learning to how skills are identified, developed, and applied across the enterprise. Our platform is designed for open ecosystems, so customers can integrate the learning, data, and tools they trust. Partnerships like edX strengthen that approach by bringing high-quality academic learning directly into an ongoing skills ecosystem that supports long-term workforce readiness."

Leading institutions, including the University of Oxford, Saïd Business School, Harvard University, and the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), partner with 2U to create programs for millions of learners globally. edX’s broad catalog includes executive education, professional certificates, microcredentials, and advanced-level learning in areas such as AI, cybersecurity, business leadership, and management. Integrating these programs into the Skillsoft platform helps organizations align academic learning with priority skill areas and workforce strategies.
