Multiverse, a leader in on-the-job learning programs, and Skillable, a pioneer in experiential and hands-on skill validation, have announced a strategic partnership to revolutionize workforce training through immersive, practical learning experiences.
In today’s rapidly evolving job market, traditional training methods struggle to keep pace. As automation and AI shift workplace dynamics, there’s a growing need for skills like problem-solving, critical thinking, and the ability to apply technical knowledge in real-world situations. This partnership aims to meet that need by merging Skillable’s virtual lab environments with Multiverse’s personalized coaching framework.
Together, Multiverse and Skillable are building a scalable, experiential learning ecosystem where learners engage in real-world scenarios while receiving targeted coaching. The result is a powerful solution for employers seeking confident, job-ready professionals who can translate theory into practice.
“Our partnership with Skillable expands our experiential learning approach by providing practice environments that mirror real-world use cases,” said Gary Eimerman, Chief Learning Officer at Multiverse. “Coupled with our coaching, Skillable’s virtual labs allow us to create experiences where learners can safely practice technical skills before applying them in production environments.”
This collaboration allows learners to experiment and refine skills in a low-risk, resettable environment—receiving immediate feedback while gaining confidence and proficiency. These technical exercises are paired with Multiverse’s human-led coaching to help learners understand how their skills align with broader business goals.
“Our partnership with Multiverse represents an exciting opportunity to enhance their industry-leading apprenticeship model with our hands-on virtual lab technology,” said Frank Gartland, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Skillable. “Together, we’re creating a learning experience that combines the best of human coaching with immersive scenarios that stretch skills and bolster confidence.”
The partnership launches with Multiverse’s Applied Data Engineering (ADE) apprenticeship program, where learners gain practical experience in managing data infrastructure, developing pipelines, securing databases, and applying machine learning. All of this occurs in Skillable’s virtual labs, where learners can safely experiment without impacting production systems or compromising data security.
Throughout the program, Multiverse’s expert coaches help apprentices translate their new skills to their organization’s specific technology environments and business processes—ensuring real-world applicability and long-term success.
As industries continue to evolve, Multiverse and Skillable are committed to providing forward-thinking, outcome-based education across domains such as AI and cloud computing. This partnership signals a shift in how workforce development is measured—not just by what learners know, but by what they can confidently do in the workplace.
