Established in 2019, Workera is a for-profit company that focuses on a skills intelligence and workforce assessment technology that helps organizations identify, measure, verify, and develop workforce skills. Headquartered in Palo Alto, California, Workera works with enterprises and government organizations globally to provide data about the capabilities of employees and job candidates. The company focuses particularly on helping organizations make workforce decisions based on demonstrated skills rather than relying primarily on job titles, résumés, educational credentials, self-reported skills, or completion of training.
Workera combines artificial intelligence, psychometrics, adaptive assessment, and skills data to assess proficiency in skills needed for particular roles and work activities. Its platform is designed to help organizations answer questions about what skills they need, what skills their workforce currently has, where skills gaps exist, and whether learning and workforce-development efforts have improved employee capabilities. Workera describes this approach as skills intelligence.
The platform supports activities across the talent lifecycle, including hiring, onboarding, workforce assessment, learning and development, upskilling and reskilling, internal mobility, project staffing, performance and readiness assessment, and strategic workforce planning. Organizations can use standardized skills assessments or develop assessments tailored to specific occupations, roles, technologies, competencies, and organizational requirements. Workera has increasingly emphasized assessment of AI skills and organizational AI readiness as employers seek to understand how effectively their workforces can use emerging technologies.
Workera's workforce is distributed across 17 countries and represents 23 languages. The company works with multinational employers and has supported large-scale workforce assessments across geographically distributed workforces. Customers and partners have included Accenture, Booz Allen Hamilton, Deloitte, Eli Lilly, Reliance Industries, ServiceNow, Siemens Energy, SoftBank, the United States Air Force, and other enterprise and government organizations.
In January 2025, Accenture made a strategic investment in Workera and entered into an alliance through which Accenture could provide Workera solutions to clients globally. Workera also became a skills intelligence layer within Accenture's LearnVantage platform, supporting skills-first workforce strategies and technology, data, and artificial intelligence training.
In September 2026, Pearson announced an agreement to acquire Workera as part of its expansion in enterprise learning, assessment, and workforce skills. Pearson indicated that Workera would become part of its Enterprise Learning & Skills business following completion of the transaction. Pearson cited Workera's capabilities in adaptive assessment and skills intelligence as a way to help organizations establish workforce skills baselines, identify development needs, verify skill improvement, and inform decisions involving hiring, internal mobility, redeployment, and strategic workforce planning. Completion of the acquisition is expected in late 2026.
