Delhi, February 23, 2023: Marking a significant milestone, Keybridge Global Education, an innovative education services organization, has taken a significant step towards its Edtech 2.0 vision with the launch of Accreda, a personalized career-building platform designed for the new-age professional. With this launch, Keybridge aims to revolutionize the way professionals approach holistic career development through tech-enabled self-empowerment and learning that is organic, structured, continuous, and highly personalized to their unique needs.
Accreda’s launch represents an evolution in the professional education and career development space. Since the early 2000s, edtech has made remarkable strides in providing better access to a wealth of tools and resources for professionals looking to upskill, reskill, and acquire knowledge. Although this has enhanced accessibility and affordability, the one-size-fits-all approach of edtech has not delivered the anticipated improvement in employability outcomes for the workforce at scale. As a result, professionals frequently find it challenging to apply their new or upgraded skills to enhance their job performance and career growth prospects.
Speaking on why a platform such as Accreda, Amol Dani, Co-Founder & CEO – Keybridge Global Education, said, “The current edtech approach is very product-centric instead of focusing on the learner. However, every learner’s needs and journey are different and, for effective learning, the individual has to be at the heart of the learning process. With Accreda, we see an opportunity to transform the entire career development and professional education ecosystem. It is the culmination of our Edtech 2.0 vision and will champion the shift from ad-hoc skill acquisition to holistic, tech-driven career growth enablement.”
Accreda, a personalized career building platform, was launched by Keybridge Global Education. It marks a milestone in the professional education and career development arena, as Keybridge aims to redefine the approach to holistic career development. Accreda leverages “Forever Learning and You” (FLY), a proprietary career and professional education system designed by global heuristics experts. It operates at the intersection of domain expertise, employability skills, expert career coaching, and continuous learning to deliver unparalleled learning differentiation.
FLY’s four-pronged framework commences with “Learner Discovery”, where Accreda conducts a series of in-house assessments to analyze an individual’s employability skills, domain competencies, and job readiness. A learner profile is created for each user by mapping this analysis against detailed, domain-specific parameters for competency and employability. This offers unmatched insights about the user’s current position with respect to the market and areas that need improvement. Additionally, a call-to-action provides personalized recommendations for the most relevant skills that require development in the context of the domain or academic program. Accreda developed these academic programs in collaboration with innovative universities focused on workforce development. They offer comprehensive, up-to-date, and outcome-driven learning to accelerate career development.
Furthermore, FLY facilitates guidance from career experts brought on board to serve as coaches to Accreda learners. This hands-on coaching provides learners with the tools, resources, and expertise for effective career exploration, career planning, and career advancement.
“Degrees and certifications are incredibly useful in getting you a seat at the jobs table. But, by themselves, degrees cannot guarantee success. To truly be successful, professionals need to know how to apply the knowledge acquired in practice to deliver results. That is what Accreda and its proprietary FLY framework are designed to address. We are here to help our learners bridge the gap between education and employability so that, instead of merely counting their degrees, they can truly make their degrees count,” added Amol.
Amod Dani, Co-Founder & COO (India) – Keybridge Global Education, added, “With Accreda, we are not building just another edtech solution. We are developing a personalized career building platform for professionals that aligns with our Edtech 2.0 vision of connecting learning to outcomes and results, which will be essential in addressing the ever-increasing industry-academia gap. We have partnered with domain experts, including leading academic experts, and renowned institutions to create an ecosystem where our users are empowered to explore and learn with a more effective and fulfilling learning experience. It is, essentially, a new way of building new-age careers that doesn’t just focus on securing employment but enhancing employability.”
But that is not where the differentiation ends. FLY also empowers learners to take greater control of their career growth journey by providing self-assessment tools for real-time assessment of their current skills and domain proficiency. Doing so enables Accreda learners to embark on a holistic journey of continuous, involved, and personalized learning that empowers and informs their career growth and long-term success.
“The Accreda approach is built on the Three Cs of Customisation, Continuity, and Control. We empower them to take charge of their learning and add value by introducing hyper-personalisation with FLY. In doing so, we are customizing learning to the needs, skills, and goals of the learner, and offer them a guided path to continuous learning that keeps them ahead of the curve of a dynamic workplace. We are confident that Accreda will deliver the differentiation that professionals want and desire, and become their partner of choice as they embark on a journey of lifelong learning and growth,” concluded Amod.
