Pearson acquires Workera, an AI-driven skills assessment company, to expand their capabilities in measuring and developing employee skills for businesses.

Workera is being acquired by Pearson! It's been a privilege to support CEO @kiankatan and the whole Workera team through this journey.

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 http://DeepLearning.AI and AI Fund, for your friendship over the years, and for your important work advancing assessments.
