University of Phoenix, in partnership with Skillmore™, has introduced Adaptable Skills Solutions—a comprehensive suite of technology, learning content, and services designed to empower organizations in closing skills gaps, enhancing workforce agility, and aligning talent development with strategic business goals.

Adaptable Skills Solutions integrates AI-powered insights, personalized learning pathways, and measurable outcomes to support workforce agility and business growth. The launch aligns with global workforce trends, including a Deloitte study that highlights the growing effectiveness of skills-based organizations in fostering agility and responding to shifting business needs.

“Businesses need employees with the right skills at the right time to stay competitive, but too often, talent development efforts fall short of delivering measurable impact,” said Leo Goncalves, Vice President of the Workforce Solutions Group at University of Phoenix. “With Adaptable Skills Solutions, we’re giving organizations a smarter, data-driven approach to workforce development.”

Key features of Adaptable Skills Solutions include:

  • Skillmore™: An AI-powered skills intelligence platform designed to assess capabilities, identify skill gaps, and drive productivity and business impact.
  • Professional Development Skills Center: Offers 100% online, non-credit training including customizable skills pathways and AI-driven video assessments.
  • Skills-Based Job Search Platform: Matches employer skill needs with University students and alumni talent pools.
  • Tuition Benefit Programs: Designed to enhance affordability and maximize employer tuition assistance value.

Skillmore’s capabilities are built on AI technologies that generate customized skills taxonomies and job descriptions, map learning resources to role-specific skills, and provide detailed analytics for strategic hiring and development decisions.

“A company’s productivity begins and ends with its people,” said Adam Blum, CEO of Skillmore. “Skillmore enables employers to define critical skills, close gaps, and gain unprecedented insights into workforce capabilities at scale.”

Skillmore empowers organizations with:

  • Custom Skills Taxonomy: AI-driven analysis of job roles integrating over 30,000 skills tailored to business needs.

Skillmore’s solutions are designed for seamless integration with existing HR technologies, offering tailored strategies to support organizations at any point in their skills-based transformation journey.

Recognizing the growing shift to skills-based hiring, supported by findings from McKinsey and the University’s own Career Optimism Index®, University of Phoenix continues to evolve its ecosystem for working adult learners with skills-mapped curricula and career-focused services. Digital badges are also available to highlight skill achievement for employers.

Through this initiative, University of Phoenix strengthens its role as a leader in workforce solutions, working with employers to deliver practical, future-ready strategies backed by AI-driven technology and deep education expertise.
