AI-Native Enterprise Assessment and Skills Verification

London (UK), October 2026 - Pearson, the world’s lifelong learning company, has announced it has agreed to acquire Workera, the AI-native skills intelligence platform used by leading enterprises to verify what their workforce can actually do.

Workera combines agentic AI, psychometrics and adaptive assessment to measure demonstrated proficiency through role-specific scenarios and simulations. Its proven technology and top-tier talent will accelerate Pearson’s ability to help enterprises build the workforce they need for AI-driven transformation, reflecting Pearson’s continued investment in enterprise skilling.

"In the era of AI, an organization’s ability to assess and develop skills will be key. Workera has pioneered a new approach to continuously measuring and validating workforce capabilities, giving organizations an accurate understanding of the skills they have today and what they will need in the future. Combining Workera’s talented workforce and technology with Pearson’s expertise in learning and assessment strengthens our ability to help enterprises close skills gaps faster and build more agile and capable workforces," said Vishaal Gupta, president of Enterprise Learning & Skills at Pearson.

"The future will require all of us to develop new skills and learn faster than ever. We built Workera to harness AI so people can discover what they’re capable of, organizations can recognize talent they might otherwise overlook, and learning can lead to progress you can actually see," said Kian Katanforoosh, founder and CEO of Workera.

Completion of the acquisition is expected to occur in the second half of 2026, subject to regular closing conditions, including any required regulatory filings or approvals.
