Integration connects Skillsoft’s learning platform with Workday Human Capital Management and Workday Skills Cloud
DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Skillsoft (NYSE: SKIL), a leading platform for transformative learning experiences, today announced that it has achieved Workday Certified Integration Status. Skillsoft, which is a Workday, Inc. (NASDAQ: WDAY) software partner, now integrates with Workday Human Capital Management (HCM) and Workday Skills Cloud. The integration of Skillsoft Percipio with Workday gives joint customers a new skills-based approach to learning, career development, and talent optimization.
Workday HCM is a unified system that helps enable organizations to make faster decisions, gain operational visibility, prepare for future talent shifts, and build effective teams.

According to recent Skillsoft research, 66% of decision-makers have identified critical skills gaps in their organization. 24% attribute this to an inability to anticipate necessary future skills. With skills transformation essential for maximizing business performance and building a future-fit workforce, the integration between Skillsoft and Workday is linking skills, roles, and learning together to deliver impactful talent development programs.
