Hardskills

Hardskills is an online platform that helps enterprises train their workforce in essential human behavioural skills, such as collaboration, critical thinking, agility, and sales influence.

Problem

  • Skill gaps: A lack of leadership and managerial skills in enterprises leads to high employee turnover and operational inefficiencies.
  • Ineffective training: In-house corporate training is often ineffective, while independent trainers fail to provide consistent, scalable solutions.
  • Generic courses: Many massive open online courses (MOOCs) focus on technical skills and lack enterprise-class solutions for leadership development.

Solution

  • Customisable training programmes: Hardskills offers localised Global Business Skills (GBS) and Management and Leadership Development courses tailored to engage users with high-quality content and a companion app for follow-up.
  • Broad applicability: These courses are designed for a range of roles, including engineers, sales and marketing employees, ensuring a consistent training standard across an organisation.
  • Data-driven insights: Enterprises gain actionable insights on employee skills, helping improve workforce resourcing and performance.
