Case Study: a tech manufacturer matches workers to new opportunities with Degreed

Tech Manufacturer boosts opportunity matching with Degreed, filling 36.5% of gigs in 3 months

A leading tech manufacturer faced challenges in employee development and engagement, with staff reporting a lack of career growth opportunities. The company's lean L&D team used the Degreed learning experience platform to improve content access, but sought a better way for workers to gain real-world experience and practice new skills. Their goal was to democratize access to internal projects and stretch assignments beyond an employee's immediate team.

The solution involved expanding their Degreed platform with its experiential learning functionality, launching an internal job exchange pilot with two major teams. Degreed enabled the company to match employees to short-term projects and gigs, providing hands-on skill application. Results included a 36.5% fill rate on posted opportunities, over $50,000 in payroll savings in three months, and significant growth in employee skills and professional networks. Degreed also provided managers with greater talent visibility and helped advance a culture of inclusivity and democratized development.
