Cognizant and Pearson to Boost AI Workforce Preparedness

In a strategic move, Pearson and Cognizant have announced a new partnership aimed at accelerating AI-powered learning, assessments, and workforce skill development programs.

This collaboration builds on Pearson's strategy to develop 360-degree relationships, driving stronger outcomes for customers, delivering joint go-to-market initiatives, and fostering shared growth.

At the heart of this partnership lies Pearson's talent solutions - Credly, Faethm, and Talents Lens. These solutions will support digital credentials, workforce analytics, and cognitive assessments in Cognizant's workforce development programs.

Omar Abbosh, CEO of Pearson, emphasised the rapid changes AI is bringing to the skills needed in the workplace. He stated that the most critical skill is learning, especially for early-career workers. This partnership is designed to help companies diagnose their skill needs, plan for the future, and execute new talent strategies, and to help people at all stages of their careers thrive in the era of AI and digital agents.

While details about the leadership supporting this collaboration between Pearson and Cognizant were not immediately available, the partnership marks a significant step forward in the integration of AI technology into learning and workforce development.

It's worth noting that earlier this year, Cognizant partnered with CrowdStrike to enhance enterprise cybersecurity. However, this article does not provide details on how that partnership aims to deliver cybersecurity services powered by AI-powered solutions to streamline SecOps.

As we move into an increasingly digital world, partnerships like this one between Pearson and Cognizant are set to play a crucial role in preparing workforces for the future.
