The Learn.com Personal Edition is built on the Learn.com LearnCenter platform, trusted by Fortune 500 companies and top government agencies for over a decade. Allowing members to achieve a Skill Score ranking -- a number reflecting their skill and knowledge for their selected Job Profile -- the platform gives employers a way besides a resume to evaluate whether candidates will be ready to go and make a positive impact on day one.

"We believe the Skill Score will become as important as a credit score within the next few years," said Learn.com President and CEO Jim Riley. He continued, "This new tool not only gives job seekers an important edge in today's economy, it also helps employers make better decisions about whom they hire."

For the first time ever, the Learn.com Personal Edition gives people the skills they need, exactly when they need them -- on demand. For job seekers and others wanting to improve career skills and earn a top Skill Score to show job readiness, Learn.com offers subscriptions to online training courses from industry experts, or users can simply select a job profile and receive all the relevant training required for that position. Learn.com also offers access to the world's largest library of courses in software, sales, communications and courses created by members, as well as compliance and continuing education courses for fields such as nursing, teaching and accounting.

"Employees at all levels of organizations need ongoing workforce development to stay current and certified in their chosen profession," said Josh Bersin, CEO of Bersin & Associates, a leading industry analyst firm in enterprise learning and talent management. "Learn.com's Personal Edition addresses this need by giving people in all professions as well as the unemployed access to a wide variety of internal and external training and certification in a very easy to use environment. We think Learn.com's approach is innovative and highly valuable to employees and employers in organizations of any size."

Whether the goal is to earn a degree, read the latest abstracts or just take a personal development course, like how to negotiate, there's truly something for everyone with the Personal Edition. People can even publish their own courses and receive a percentage of the revenue their courses generate.

Riley maintains, "Ideal for people wishing to increase their knowledge and skill level on any subject, or to share their knowledge and domain expertise with the world, the Personal Edition from Learn.com is the place to go. It truly is the world's first and only on-demand knowledge network. This platform fully supports President Obama's call for a rigorous new approach to higher education and technical training by launching a comprehensive new skill development platform."
