Partnership provides STEERus Soft Skills Academy Members with Access to Gamified Training
NEWARK, N.J., September 29, 2021 — 1Huddle, a workforce tech company that upskills, trains and motivates employees through the use of science-backed, quick-burst mobile games, announced today its partnership with another innovator in New Jersey STEERus™, home to the world’s first Soft Skills Academy. Through this partnership, STEERus will gamify all their training and learning content to reinforce learning and increase engagement across their Academy subscribers.
“We’re excited to kick off this partnership and innovate the way STEERus delivers soft skills training to Academy learners. It’s game-changing!” said 1Huddle CEO and Founder Sam Caucci.
With a grand vision to successfully transition Generation Next from school to work, the HRtech startup is teaching communication, professionalism, EQ, and other soft skills that aren’t being taught in schools. Formally recognized by NJ Governor Murphy as an innovator, STEERus offers a personalized and blended learning experience: a custom storytelling-style curriculum is designed to meet a learner’s gaps in soft skills. That learning journey is coupled with coaching and leadership development to foster greater success. STEERus follows equity as their North Star: the company is on a mission to make a social impact and are doing so by making their Soft Skills Academy free to underserved communities.
This partnership will also help STEERus augment their prospecting process, increase sales, reinforce learning, and boost customer satisfaction.
“We’re excited about partnering with 1Huddle. It’s more than a #jerseystrong thing, it’s about watching our Academy members LOVE learning versus just liking it. Quizzes and skill-check assessments are important, but they’re not fun. Gamifying learning via 1Huddle makes it fun,” said Loralyn Mears, Ph.D., Founder of STEERus.
