Workera is being acquired by Pearson! It's been a privilege to support CEO @kiankatan and the whole Workera team through this journey. Back in 2019, Kian had the insight that rigorous skills measurements would be important. With recent advances in AI, this is now more true than ever. Workera's technologies for rigorously measuring people's skills in different tasks and job roles are helping many businesses understand where their employees are strong and where there are areas for development. With Workera and Pearson combining forces, I'm delighted that under @omarabbosh and Kian's leadership. Workera now has the potential to support an even larger number of people and businesses. Thank you, Kian and the Workera team for having me serve as the company's chairman, for launching Workera out of DeepLearning.AI and AI Fund, for your friendship over the years, and for your important work advancing assessments. kian @kiankatan I have some big news to share. Workera is being acquired by Pearson! Over six years ago, I was teaching at Stanford and thinking about a simple question: what if we could understand everyone's skills as precisely as the best teachers understand their students? I believed it could lead to a more meritocratic world. People could be recognized for what they can actually do, not just their credentials or network. They could understand their strengths and gaps, and rapidly develop the skills they need next. Organizations could discover talent they might otherwise overlook and manage their workforce with trusted skills data. What felt like a dream at the time is now a reality. Workera brought together experts in AI, psychometrics, and enterprise execution to build AI systems that reinvent how skills are measured. Our team pioneered AI-native skills intelligence, agent-led multimodal assessments, and even ambient skill measurement. We've established skills benchmarks across organizations, industries, and roles. And this mission feels more important today than ever! AI is changing work as we speak. Some roles are disappearing, new ones are emerging, and we need to help billions of people develop new skills and navigate what comes next. When I first spoke with @omarabbosh , it became clear that our companies shared the same mission. Pearson has helped generations of people learn and prove what they know. If you're reading this, there's a good chance you've taken a Pearson assessment, learned from their educational materials, earned a professional credential through them, read their psychometrics research, or benefited from their enterprise products in many other ways. Bringing together Workera's technology and AI talent with Pearson’s global scale and deep expertise in learning and assessment means we can pursue our mission at a scale we could only imagine on our own. To our customers and partners, thank you for believing in us. Expect even more innovations coming out of Workera and Pearson. To the Workera team, I’m incredibly proud of what you've built, and your continued dedication to our beautiful mission. To our board and our chairman @AndrewYNg , thank you for your belief, support, and mentorship. To everyone, we have big plans for this next chapter, so please stay tuned. We're just getting started! 😊 🔗 View Quoted Tweet 💬 19 🔄 1 ❤️ 38 👀 15518 📊 14 ⚡
