PALO ALTO, Calif., March 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Workera, the leading AI-based skills screening engine, has been named to Fast Company’s prestigious list of the world’s most innovative companies for 2024. Workera is joins other enterprise leaders—such as Canva, IBM, and Microsoft—that are transforming industries and shaping society. This year’s winners, judged through a competitive application process, include early-stage startups to some of the world’s most valuable companies.
Technological advances such as artificial intelligence are changing the way organizations innovate and build technology. Yet the most in-demand skills in these fields are evolving faster than ever. Especially given today’s market conditions, understanding and managing your organization’s technical skills cannot rely on hiring alone. Leading businesses must develop the ability to up-skill and cross-skill their existing workforce to gain a truly competitive advantage.
“Skills development is no longer a ‘nice-to-have’ for organizations — it’s essential for businesses to innovate and stay relevant,” said Kian Katanforush, CEO and founder of Workera. “We are honored that Workera has been recognized by Fast Company as one of the most innovative companies, highlighting the vital role of data in screening skills in the modern enterprise.”
Powered by the world’s most detailed skills dataset, Workera’s skills engine uses these insights to develop personalized assessments for employees in thousands of critical and emerging skill areas such as machine learning, responsible AI and data science. These assessments not only provide employees with personalized insight into their growth areas, they offer organizations a holistic view of their workforce’s capabilities to ensure organizational resilience.
Workera’s skill engine allows for 5x faster skill leveling, which is especially critical since the time a skill is valuable is drastic reduction. Its platform has already measured over 5 million skills from every industry and worldwide. Additionally, Workera’s platform drives a 240% increase in AI generation skills based on internal data, supporting the growing demand for the highest paid and most in-demand AI skills.
Earlier this month, Accenture announced a partnership with Workera as part of its LearnVantage initiative to support the development of essential skills in the AI economy. Accenture has joined leading companies and government agencies such as Booz Allen Hamilton, Siemens Energy and the US Air Force that use Workera to unlock the full potential of their workforce.
