Pearson said on Sept. 29, 2026 that it will acquire Workera, an AI‑native skills platform used by companies like ServiceNow and the U.S. Space Force. The purchase is planned for the second half of 2026. Pearson hopes the deal will help businesses train employees in AI and close skill gaps faster.
Why it matters
The deal could make AI training more accessible for large employers, addressing the widespread lack of time for upskilling.
