Degreed is one of a new breed of learning environments that are disrupting the sector. Degreed stands out because it allows users to learn, build skills, and demonstrate expertise throughout their career – for free.

Powerful algorithms collate high quality learning content and collate it into learning pathways for a wide range of skills. Learners can record their learning and analyse the extent to which it is impacting their professional development. The Degreed app allows you to learn wherever you are, just as long as you have internet access.

(Full disclosure from Sara: I Degreed and love it. I am currently using it to grow my skills in infographic design, change management, and data analysis.)
