Pearson and Deloitte have announced a new strategic alliance aimed at helping enterprises and government organizations address the global skills gap through AI-powered learning solutions.

Under the partnership, the two companies will co-develop end-to-end talent, leadership, and workforce development offerings, combining Pearson’s learning science and AI-enabled education products with Deloitte’s transformation and workforce design expertise.
