To date, over 6.4 million learners have used a Skillable lab to build skills in critical areas such as cloud computing, AI and machine learning, data engineering, cybersecurity and more.

Richer financial insights
The Skillable platform can be used across different areas of a business, with organizations using it to generate additional revenue as well as train their people. Additional invoice reporting within the Skillable Insights data analytics platform now allows admins to view and download historical invoices for Skillable services directly within the platform. This will help users to keep track of financial data related to lab billing.
Launching performance-based skill validation within Degreed
Within Degreed, Skillable is also launching the first native performance-based skill validation integration into the SkillsTech ecosystem. Mutual customers can enhance employee skill profile data with validated, scenario-based insights by seamlessly leveraging Skillable validation labs for business-critical skills. As learners need to complete pre-configured tasks within a lab to validate their ability to perform a skill at work, the data generated through Skillable and populated in Degreed skills profiles is trusted, accurate and timely. Learners within Degreed can also search for specific skills and find a Skillable lab to practice or validate that skill. In successfully completing and passing a lab that is intended for skill validation, the learner will have a new Skill Rating added to that skill in their Degreed profile.
