BUILDING A FUTURE-READY FEDERAL WORKFORCE
According to research by the World Economic Forum, 75% of organizations plan to adopt new technologies (AI, Big Data, Cloud, etc.) over the next five years, while 44% of workers’ core skills will experience disruption. As federal agencies invest to ensure their workforce remains ready for the future and poised for innovation, how can they ensure they have the talent to maximize those investments?
It requires a skills transformation across a combination of three crucial areas: Technology, Leadership, and Risk.
Skillsoft is proud to partner with the US Federal Government to identify and rapidly fill skill gaps while offering visibility to track progress across your agency.
TRACK PROGRESS
Benchmark skills and measure proficiency and skills gained across the entire agency.
END-TO-END SOLUTION
Transform skills across Technology, Leadership, and Risk, offering a mix of modes — but without the cost and complexity of managing multiple providers.
SKILL PATHWAYS
Quickly identify gaps between the workforce you have and the workforce you need. Rapidly deploy skill pathways personalized for each learner with a trusted and experienced partner.
ANNOUNCING — CFO COUNCIL CAREER PLANNING TRAINING TOOL (CPTT)
Skillsoft is proud to partner with the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), in coordination with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Federal Chief Financial Offers Council (CFOC), and the 24 largest federal agencies, to address an urgent need for comprehensive employee career planning tools and a dramatic increase in access to personalized, transformational skilling pathways for the government's 140,000 Financial Management (FM) employees.

The high-quality, video-based coaching platform is FedRAMP-authorized and 508-conformant. Based on their preference, learners may choose between coaching sessions of 30, 45, and 60 minutes.
