EdTech in the Spotlight: Skill5 – AI-Powered Training That’s Fast, Tailored, and Culturally Relevant

In this edition of EdTech in the Spotlight, we’re excited to feature Skill5 – an innovative AI-powered training platform that is revolutionising how companies approach corporate learning and development. With a growing presence across New Zealand, Australia, and Latin America, Skill5 is helping organisations move beyond outdated, generic training to create fast, on-brand learning experiences that truly engage their teams.

Revolutionising Corporate Training with AI

Skill5 is designed for companies that want training solutions as dynamic as their workforce. The platform enables businesses to create custom video learning content in minutes – complete with personalised avatars, multilingual options, and built-in quizzes for knowledge validation.

Serving HR teams, L&D professionals, and department leaders across operations, finance, tech, and beyond, Skill5 addresses a massive global challenge: with over 1.9 billion employees worldwide needing better training, the platform is making corporate learning more effective, engaging, and enjoyable.

Scaling Up with Enterprise-Grade Features

Skill5 has been busy expanding their capabilities. They recently launched their enterprise-grade Learning Management System (LMS), featuring tailored microlearning with over 500 ready-to-use courses.

New features rolling out include advanced analytics, white-label options, and seamless integrations that make training both measurable and scalable. To support this growth, Skill5 has also opened a seed funding round to scale their team and platform capabilities even further.

Global Reach, Local Impact

Skill5 is making connections across multiple continents, working with forward-thinking companies in New Zealand, Australia, and Latin America. Their client base spans diverse industries including training, healthcare, logistics, and real estate – particularly organisations with distributed workforces that need consistent, accessible learning solutions.

The team is also collaborating with local universities and innovation hubs to explore how generative AI can enhance both vocational and corporate education, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in workplace learning.

Delivering Real Results

The impact speaks for itself: Skill5 clients are seeing up to 70% time savings in course production while achieving stronger employee engagement. This matters in an environment where traditional training methods are often too slow, too generic, and too expensive.

With companies typically losing $15,000 per employee per year to irrelevant training, Skill5 is proving that effective learning doesn’t need to take months or break budgets. Their approach connects learning directly to performance and culture in meaningful ways.

Reshaping How Organisations Think About Learning

Skill5 isn’t just building software – they’re transforming organisational learning culture. The platform’s cultural adaptability and rapid course generation mean global teams can access consistent, high-quality training in their own language and context.

With built-in rewards systems and progress tracking, companies can finally create learning experiences that are both scalable and deeply connected to their unique workplace culture and performance goals.
