Pleasanton, CA (9th Dec 2022) – Degreed, the learning platform relied on by millions of employees, has been named a winner of the 2022 Aragon Research Innovation Award for Learning.

Ericsson has been able to upskill over 15,000 employees in 5G-related skills and obtained 97% employee completion of new anti-corruption training in a shorter timeframe. Cargill has reduced its L&D delivery times by 75%, cutting the time from identifying a new learning need, to putting solutions in the hands of its workforce, from 40 weeks to six.
