When we founded Workera in 2020, we set out an ambitious vision to help people achieve their potential by giving them a clear understanding of their skills. We started with highly technical AI skills trending in Silicon Valley, but our goal has always been to expand this to every skill. Measuring every skill is complicated. The measurement instruments and interfaces we use to assess someone’s coding ability are different from those we use to assess someone’s communication skills.

For the past 18 months, one topic has been at the forefront of HR and L&D conversations: AI.

Workera has developed the industry’s most granular skill ontology, spanning thousands of skills and their relationships to one another. Those granular skills come together to form what Workera refers to as “domains” — broader skill categories like Machine Learning and Data Analysis. Workera maintains the domains — and the skills and assessments within — and keeps them up to date and relevant as technology advances. Workera has nearly 100 Signature Domains: expert-designed, industry-validated frameworks covering the skill categories that are most important to today’s technology organizations. Signature Domains help employees acquire and improve the essential skills they need for their roles.
