Leadership and Business Roadmap - Hispanic Heritage Month - September 2022
“Recognize the parts of your culture that have shaped your past, and the parts you want to carry with you into the future.”
In today’s environment, workforce development through skill acquisition is more important than ever. Skillsoft's new Skill Benchmark Assessments are designed to provide a clear picture of where learners need upskilling, ensuring they spend more time on learning content that leads to new skill acquisition.
We have 3 new Benchmark Assessments which align with our Leadership Development Program Powered by MIT Sloan Management Review (SLDP):
- Leading the Business
- Leading Your Team
- Leading Yourself
Our Skillsoft Leadership Development Program Powered by MIT Sloan Management Review recognizes the value in obtaining knowledge and honing leadership skills to remain up to date with current and trending topics.

Off the Shelf
Hispanic Heritage Month is observed annually from September 15 to October 15. It is a moment to respect and celebrate the American Latino community's vibrant culture, rich history, and diversity. The Hispanic-American population has left an unmistakable imprint on the culture and economy of the United States. To honor the achievements and contributions of Hispanic American champions who have inspired others to achieve success, the Skillsoft Leadership and Business Content team invites you to watch, read, or listen to one of our various resources about Hispanic Americans.
Throughout September, Skillsoft’s virtual book club, OFF THE SHELF is featuring a bookshelf to recognize the achievements and contributions of Hispanic people who have inspired others to succeed.
Additionally, on September 22nd, we honor the achievements of US businesswomen by celebrating American Business Women's Day. Businesswomen are role models for young women who aspire to be leaders. On this day, Skillsoft recognizes the contributions and achievements of millions of US women across the workforce.
To commemorate the 1949 founding date of The American Business Women’s Association and American Business Women’s day, OFF THE SHELF is featuring a bookshelf of resources that celebrate women’s contributions, achievements, and greatness across the US workforce.
