LAGUNA NIGUEL, CA, UNITED STATES, March 27, 2025 / — Fuel50, a leader in talent intelligence solutions, is proud to announce its role as founding partner in the launch of Open Skills Initiative, a ground-breaking skills-based initiative developed by Visier, a global pioneer in Workforce AI solutions, and in collaboration with Techwolf and Lightcast. This initiative is designed to help organizations navigate the evolving workforce landscape by addressing critical skill gaps driven by AI adoption, increasing employee demands, and skill relevance.
Open Skills Initiative brings together top skills intelligence data providers to empower businesses with the insights needed to upskill and reskill their employees effectively. As AI continues to reshape industries, companies must adopt proactive strategies to build agile and future-ready workforces. In addition to AI-driven changes, organizations are also adapting to increasing employee demands and significant demographic shifts. Recent research shows that 93% of employees are looking or plan to leave their employer in 2024, and that 94% of employees would stay longer at a company if it invested in their learning and development. Through the Open Skills Initiative, organizations gain access to cutting-edge workforce planning insights and tools to develop and accelerate skills-based talent strategies.
“Organizations today face immense pressure to reskill and upskill their workforce to remain competitive,” said Anne Fulton, CEO and Co-founder of Fuel50. “The Open Skills Initiative is a game-changer for businesses seeking to understand, develop, and optimize their workforce capabilities for the future.”
By leveraging the collective expertise of leading workforce intelligence providers, Open Skills Initiative enables organizations to:
– Identify and address skill gaps critical to business success.
– Develop personalized upskilling and reskilling strategies for employees.
– Enhance workforce agility by aligning talent with evolving business needs.
– Improve internal mobility and reduce reliance on external hiring.
