Too much learning content. Not enough results. Too many outdated systems. Too little innovation.

That’s the reality of workforce development today at many organizations. But the future looks quite different.

“AI is here to revolutionize this industry, transforming this $340 billion market with dynamic content and personalized learning experiences,” said analyst Josh Bersin, CEO of The Josh Bersin Company. “Innovative products like Degreed Maestro and Degreed Open Library are here to help lead companies into this exciting new world of learning.”

We couldn’t agree more. We estimate enterprise organizations spend up to 50 times more on content than on learning software. Much of it goes unused, gets duplicated, or quickly becomes obsolete.

That’s why we’re introducing Degreed Open Library: A smarter way to deliver timely, targeted learning—powered by artificial intelligence—without the noise, complexity, or cost of traditional content libraries.
This isn’t just a new content solution. It’s a faster, more effective way to drive skill-building at scale—built directly into the Degreed platform at no extra cost.

AI-Powered Learning That Cuts Through the Noise

Degreed Open Library offers curated learning pathways built by AI and refined by human experts. They’re continually updated to reflect emerging trends and market needs. For a more personalized experience, pathways can be enhanced with embedded AI coaching.

Your people get fresh, engaging content—podcasts, articles, books, and more—ready to support skill development in the flow of work.

Need to move faster? Built-in AI summaries help people absorb key takeaways without watching a 30-minute video or reading an entire book.

Saving Budget & Driving Business Results

Learning content shouldn’t be your biggest budget line, or your biggest headache. Yet many organizations find themselves managing overlapping subscriptions and rising costs with little return.

Degreed Open Library helps break that cycle. It enables you to reduce or even eliminate redundant content subscriptions—and we estimate it can cut learning content spend by up to 20%. That frees up budget to invest in tools and technology that drive measurable business results.

Easy to Use & Fast to Implement

With 500+ expert-curated learning pathways aligned to trending topics and in-demand skills—like AI, leadership, and communication—Degreed Open Library is ready to go.

No complicated setup. No additional integration. It’s ideal for learning teams that need to move fast and make an impact, without adding overhead.

Tailored to Your Business Needs
