Skillsoft Career Growth & Development

Skillsoft supports career growth through learning access, coaching, mentorship, role-based development and opportunities to build skills through real work. The company’s approach reflects its broader mission of helping people and organizations grow together.

• Learning built into career development: Skillsoft gives employees access to its own learning ecosystem, including Percipio, Aspire Journeys, on-demand courses, instructor-led training, role-based career pathways and CAISY® simulations. A talent acquisition coordinator described the experience as “nonstop learning,” while an engineering employee said free access to Skillsoft learning content helps employees “enhance our skills and grow as professionals.”
• Role-based pathways and AI skills: Skillsoft’s internal development strategy includes personalized blended learning, role-based career pathways and interactive simulations designed to help employees build a holistic skill set. The company’s employee growth recognition specifically highlighted its focus on helping employees build AI literacy to better understand, evaluate and use AI technologies.
• Mentorship, coaching and manager support: Skillsoft’s talent enablement approach includes mentorship programs, onboarding, internal learning, performance reviews and coaching. A vice president of talent enablement and culture described the work as helping employees answer, “Here’s where I am and here’s where I want to be. What are the tools?” The same leader said executive coaching through Skillsoft was “transformative.”
• Growth through ownership and expanded contribution: Employees describe Skillsoft as a place where people can take initiative, share ideas and contribute beyond narrow role boundaries. A software engineer said employees can join architecture, systems, hosting and new-feature meetings to speak up, while a services design architect said successful candidates bring “a healthy impatience for the status quo.”

● External signals:

○ Learning and growth: Employees on external review sites describe Skillsoft as a place with “continuous learning opportunities across the tech stack,” “no better place to learn and grow” and “a lot to learn” at an employee’s own pace. A content curator also said, “You can always learn more on the job, which is great.” (Glassdoor)

○ Employee development recognition: Skillsoft was recognized as WorkLife Awards’ “Most Dedicated to Employee Growth,” with the award highlighting the company’s approach to employee development, career growth and AI literacy through blended, interactive learning experiences. 

○ Mobility and expanded contribution: Employees on external review sites describe opportunities to join broader architecture, systems, hosting and new-feature meetings, speak up and contribute beyond narrow role boundaries. Employees also cite valued opinions, annual promotions and regular manager one-on-ones as growth-supporting practices. (Glassdoor)

Bottom line: Skillsoft’s career growth opportunities are strongest for employees who want continuous learning, mentorship, coaching, AI skill development and the autonomy to expand their impact over time.
