Degreed Strengths, Domain Expertise, and Key Differentiators

Degreed offers a comprehensive learning ecosystem, with access to the world's largest ecosystem of professional learning resources, including 250,000 online courses and 3 million informal learning activities from various sources. Its content library can be combined with an organization's proprietary content to create custom pathways. Degreed's social learning feature provides the largest social network for learning, connecting learners and experts. The platform excels in personalized learning, with recommendations refreshed daily, personalized search results, and a customized browsing experience. AI-Native Learning Experiences: Degreed Maestro (add-on module) is AI purpose-built to make learning workflows faster and more effective at lower costs. Maestro remembers past conversations to hyper-personalize learning experiences and identify trends in each individual’s development. Degreed Maestro includes 3 out-of-the-box coaches (Skill Review Coach, Leadership Coach, and Career Coach), automatic pathway curation, and Degreed Maestro Studio, which enables clients to custom-tune AI-native experiences such as coaches, roleplays and assessments. Personalized learning recommendations: Degreed Learning recommends content, experiences, mentorships, etc. based on each individual's unique skill profile including their focus skills and their skill level. This enables highly personalized development, and this relevancy increases engagement and learning impact. Degreed Maestro, our AI purpose-built for learning, delivers hyper-personalized learning recommendations based on an employee’s interactions with Maestro. For example, employees can use Maestro’s Skill Review Coach to not only receive a proficiency rating, but also targeted learning recommendations to increase proficiency. Employees can also use Maestro to curate custom pathways specific to their needs. Maestro retains past conversations to apply personalized context in each interaction. Academies: Degreed Academies (available as an add-on module) deliver cohort-based deep learning experiences that go beyond self-led training. It supports active learning through structured, sequential learning experiences where employees learn from experts at your company, collaborate with peers, and apply their knowledge through assigned projects and receive meaningful feedback from peers and facilitators. It is ideal for building skills that require practice, application, and expert facilitation. Academies are now integrated with the LXP and can leverage content/pathways in the creation of an academy. Skill data, inference, and assessments: With skills inference, organizations gather critical data about their workforce skill supply so they can identify gaps that they need to fill through learning. To fill those gaps quickly, skill data is used to power personalized learning experiences. Skill assessments help organizations measure skill change and validate each employee’s proficiency in specific skills. For example, Degreed Maestro’s Skill Review Coach (available as an add-on module) offers an AI-powered interactive coaching experience that evaluates an employee’s proficiency in a specific skill, and can recommend relevant learning to progress in that skill. Automations: Degreed Automations (included with Degreed Learning) empowers clients to orchestrate their workforce development, giving them the tools they need to deliver the right learning to the right people at the right time -- automatically. Automations allow clients to automate specific tasks and communications. You can think of it as an “If _____, then ____” statement. For example: If a user completes an assigned pathway about AI, then send an email encouraging the learner to update their AI skill rating.
