Teachers are now turning to technology to help them effectively reskill and upskill their students. To meet this need, 360Learning, a corporate learning platform based in the US, has recently acquired eLamp, an AI-powered skills management platform. This deal is part of 360Learning’s goal to become the go-to learning platform for global enterprises looking to upskill and reskill their employees.
eLamp, founded in 2015, is geared towards the manufacturing and high-tech industries. It has clients such as Artelia, Bouygues Construction, and nuclear company Naval Group, making it the perfect choice for 360Learning’s needs.
With eLamp’s technology integrated into 360Learning’s platform, companies can now provide the correct skills-based learning to the right employee at the right time. This seamless connection between skills-based initiatives and 360Learning’s advanced learning experience platform also allows for skill gaps to be tracked in dedicated dashboards.
Nick Hernandez, Co-founder & CEO of 360Learning, expressed his excitement over the acquisition: “The recent progress in AI makes a dynamic approach to mapping employee skills now possible. It’s revolutionizing how companies think about skills and learning. With our acquisition of eLamp, 360Learning is the first learning vendor to integrate the whole value chain of upskilling on one platform, from understanding skill gaps to designing and delivering the right training plan that optimizes each employee’s career evolution. Unlike lagging skill matrixes of the past, AI now does it for you in real-time. It’s the biggest revolution in the history of HRTech.”
Olivier Rohou, Co-founder & CEO of eLamp, added: “What’s exciting with 360Learning’s acquisition is that we’ll fully unlock the value of becoming a skills-based organization – from understanding skill gaps to launching upskilling and reskilling initiatives powered by collaborative learning. Our customers have been clamouring for it, and we’re delivering it. We need to learn new skills and know what those skills are to receive the proper education – it’s a perfect match.”
For teachers, this acquisition of eLamp means that they can now use the 360Learning platform to identify content gaps in their skills-based learning paths and find the best internal experts to develop the content. This is a great tool for teachers to ensure that their students are receiving the best education and are prepared to face the challenges of the future.
