SAN FRANCISCO —Udemy, a leading destination for learning and teaching online, today announced their integration with Microsoft Viva Learning, part of Microsoft’s Viva employee experience platform bringing together communications, knowledge, learning, resources, and insights.
“For companies to compete in today’s global markets and upskill employees for the future, learning must be a natural, cohesive part of everyday work and company culture”
Udemy Business courses will be available to employees directly through Microsoft Viva, pulling content into one central location and enabling teams to learn in the flow of their daily work within Microsoft Teams. This integration helps companies elevate their workforces by making relevant learning easily accessible day-to-day, and providing managers with the necessary tools to guide employees on their professional development journeys and bolster a strong learning culture.
The Udemy Business content collection includes thousands of courses that are updated continuously and added at the speed of market change, with topics ranging from technology and business skills to personal development and leadership. These high-quality, in-demand courses help organizations achieve business outcomes and engage their teams.
“For companies to compete in today’s global markets and upskill employees for the future, learning must be a natural, cohesive part of everyday work and company culture,” said Greg Brown, President of Udemy Business. “Through this integration with Microsoft Viva, we’re able to improve outcomes for customers looking to centralize opportunities for learning at work. We’re proud to work alongside an organization that shares our vision of empowering employees and mapping toward companies’ larger business goals through learning.”
“Access to Udemy Business’ library of learning across a wide range of topics is a valuable tool to drive business growth and connect people with the skills they need to succeed,” said Seth Patton, General Manager of Microsoft 365 Next Gen Productivity & Employee Experience. “With Viva Learning we’re making this content easily accessible and shareable within the apps and tools people already use during their workday, and together we’re helping organizations prepare for the ever-evolving future of work.”
This integration was announced at Microsoft’s annual Inspire event and will be live on the Microsoft Teams app later this year.
