Skillsoft Corporation has unveiled the findings of its 2025 Global Skills Intelligence Survey, highlighting significant challenges facing organizations in bridging skills gaps crucial for growth. The survey, conducted among 1,000 HR and learning and development professionals across the U.S., UK, Germany, and Australia, reveals that only 10% of respondents are confident their workforce possesses the necessary skills to meet business objectives in the next 12 to 24 months. The most critical shortages identified are in leadership, AI, and technology skills. With nearly 28% of respondents citing skills as a pivotal factor for organizational growth, the research underscores the inadequacy of traditional talent development strategies in today's rapidly evolving economy. Skillsoft emphasizes the need for integrated platforms that align learning with skills intelligence and performance, to foster adaptability and innovation in the workforce.
