8 Things You Should Know to Get Started with Skillsoft Percipio

Percipio will inspire and motivate learners like you. The program offers access to a constantly growing library of award-winning learning content mapped to the skills that matter most to leading global companies. You’ll discover topics across leadership development, business and effectiveness, digital transformation, and technology. Let’s look at a few key elements of the Percipio platform to make sure you get the most out of the experience.

1. Save time and keep your skills updated with AI-driven personalization.

Once you’ve signed into Percipio for the first time, you can select your areas and subjects of interest. Percipio’s AI-driven, personalized homepage recommends content that’s meaningful and relevant to you based on these interests—in addition to your recent activity and the activities of learners with similar professional profiles.

Percipio’s search functionality uses Google BERT natural language processing AI to optimize search results for multi-word searches. It is the same technology found in Google search. Depending on the terms you enter, search results can include any of your available content types, such as courses or books, and specific asset details such as author, duration, and expertise levels.

When you find content that interests you, you can add it to your Playlist, or copy a shareable, unique link to the asset. Your Playlist allows you to access your saved content in one location, so you can view it when convenient with your schedule.

2. Spend more time on skill-building and far less time wondering, “Is this the best content for the topic?”

Percipio assets are expertly curated into learning paths—called Channels—created to align with over 100,000 requests from companies around the world to create content for the specific skills that matter most to them. This is where you can find courses, videos, eBooks, audiobooks, hands-on practice labs, and other content, organized into logical pathways intended to improve your understanding of that topic.

3. Discover learning that is aligned to the specific role you have today or the role you are aspiring to.

Percipio allows you to follow curated, role-based learning paths—known as Aspire Journeys—which connect learning to development to help you move from where you are now to where you want to be.

Aspire Journeys walk you, step-by-step, through diverse topic areas, offering guidance, tools, and hands-on practice. Maximize your time with learning that fits into the cracks of your calendar, with skills that can be applied directly to the projects in front of you.

4. Learn in whatever way makes the most sense to you.

Skillsoft partnered with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Accenture to research how the brain processes and retains information. Skillsoft’s scenario-based course content is informed by this research—and proven to improve understanding.

You choose your learning experience. Depending on your preference on any given day or night, you can watch videos, read books, book summaries, listen to audiobooks, and even practice your skills in low-stakes, hands-on lab environments.

You may choose to consume content entirely on your own. You may also elect to attend Leadercamps and Technology & Developer Bootcamps to access timely, real-world insights from leading experts, and collaborate in scheduled virtual classrooms. Percipio also allows you to access an ongoing series of live webcast events featuring industry authorities, thought leaders, and bestselling authors on a wide variety of relevant topics.
