CHICAGO and NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla., Oct. 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BenchPrep, an award-winning professional learning platform, and Learn on Demand Systems, a virtual labs platform partner, today announced a strategic partnership and integration of their technology solutions. BenchPrep and Learn on Demand Systems will redefine the 70-20-10 learning model for the modern, digital world and provide organizations with best-in-class and cohesive experiential, social, and formal learning experiences to enable expanded program adoption and revenue growth.
As many companies across the world have transitioned to fully digital working environments, there’s been a wave of technology adoption and digital transformation. In the IT and technology industries specifically, the skills gap and talent shortage has left organizations struggling to fill positions, and they’re also seeing an impact to their bottom line: by 2030, US businesses could miss out on over $160 billion of annual revenue.
With this partnership, organizations can take advantage of the BenchPrep platform and virtual lab environments powered by Learn on Demand Systems to achieve mastery of knowledge in skills-based learning by leveraging a scalable, scorable, and cost-efficient virtual environment to prepare and assess learners’ expertise. This combined solution will play a significant role in providing hands-on learning experiences for learners to quickly and efficiently develop on-the-job training and upskilling in a safe and effective virtual environment.
“Historically, marquee learning and credentialing organizations have leveraged BenchPrep to power optimal learning experiences and outcomes. The stakes have never been higher for these organizations as they’re playing a major role in filling these skills gaps and helping businesses to attract and retain employees through upskilling and training initiatives,” Ujjwal Gupta, Co-founder and Chief Product Officer, BenchPrep, said. “We’re really excited to expand our relationship with Learn on Demand Systems to bring more experiential learning environments onto the BenchPrep platform. As the leading innovator in experiential lab authoring, learning, and verification, Learn on Demand Systems is the perfect complement to our best-in-class assessments, social, and formal learning solutions.”
