O’Reilly has launched three new academies: Manager Academy, Soft Skills Academy, and Data Literacy Academy. These are designed for upskilling across technical and non-technical roles. This expansion addresses the growing demand for human skills. Skills like communication, leadership, and empathy are crucial as AI changes the workplace. The academies reach a broad audience, including new managers, HR professionals, and developers. They provide structured learning paths combining technical and business knowledge. O’Reilly’s approach differs from traditional models by using curated, multi-format content. This includes book excerpts, course sections, and audio.

The content is presented in short, digestible segments instead of long video courses. The platform also features verifiable badges, progress tracking, and simple reporting. These tools help organizations track skill development effectively. “If you’re trying to scale structured learning across your teams without building programs from scratch, academies give you a ready-made, expert-curated path,” said Julie Baron, president of O’Reilly. With plans to introduce additional academies in areas such as AI, security, and project management, O’Reilly is positioning itself to meet evolving workforce training needs in an AI-driven economy.
