Partners Paving the Way

Guiding SkillUp Users with Generative AI

In partnership with WhereWeGo, Climb Together, Upsolve, Brighthive, Adept ID and Burning Glass Institute, we're developing a robust AI coach to guide our users based on skills, experience, and interests.

Increasing Remote Opportunities for STARs

Partners invested in expanding SkillUp's tech stack and APIs, allow our platform to serve up thousands of high-quality, well-paying remote job opportunities to individuals nationwide, regardless of a college degree.

Supporting Local Users Through Grassroots Partnerships

SkillUp works with regional organizations to help reach populations that are more difficult to influence. Appalachian Ohio is one example, where Quarterback, Joe Burrow, joined to share our mission.

Inspiring Youth to Rethink Career Paths

If college isn't the path for some youth, then what? SkillUp and partners come together to educate and enroll young job-seekers on alternative career paths and skill-building programs, like apprenticeships.

Creating Deeper Connections with Job Seekers

With our partners, SkillUp has provided 17,000+ participants with career coaching sessions, 1:1 advising, and a way to build social capital and soft skills.

Making Job Training and Education More Accessible

We've increased the graduation rates and employment rates of our users thanks to our partners who have helped stipend their education tuition or certification courses.
