What do skill challenges look like?
In skill challenges, people complete specific tasks in virtual lab environments of the software they would find in their role, job and organization. You use live, non-production environments so users are practicing with the latest versions compared to simulations or traditional sandboxes.
Skill challenges are the best type of hands-on learning experiences to accelerate job readiness, capability development and confidence. They provide your organization with evidence-based skill data to assess gaps and validate job readiness.
We’ve delivered more than 50 million labs worldwide over the last 20 years and have learned from leading organizations about what they need from the top hands-on learning experience platform to achieve their goals.
Use cases where hands-on experiences can help drive stronger outcomes.
