More Than Half of Managers Say Employees Are Assigned Work They Don't Have the Skills to Do, Skillsoft Research Finds
Skillsoft published its Workforce Readiness Report: Execution Gap Edition, finding 77% of managers say skill gaps exist in their workplace and 54% say employees are frequently assigned work requiring skills they lack.
The report ties the 'execution gap' to delayed AI adoption, burnout, quality issues, and lost revenue, citing Skillsoft's Skills Management platform as the remedy.
The release is a branded research/marketing effort based on a 2,000-respondent survey; it contains no financial results or guidance for SKIL.

Skillsoft LX Design Studio Reduces Custom Learning Content Development from Weeks to Days
Skillsoft announced general availability of LX Design Studio, an AI content creation capability within the Skillsoft Platform that the company says cuts custom learning content development time by up to 85%.
Traditional custom course development typically takes more than two weeks and costs $10,000 to $50,000 or more per course; in Skillsoft early-adopter testing from February through June 2026, users produced content in three to five days, and 80% of beta customers built a custom CAISY conversation simulation in roughly 15 minutes.
The capability includes an AI design agent that routes creators to courses, practice, simulations, or assessments, and Skillsoft says customer IP remains private and is not used to train external AI models.
The launch strengthens Skillsoft's AI-native platform positioning, but the release quantifies no revenue, bookings, or adoption figures, so the commercial impact remains unproven.

Skillsoft Corp. (SKIL) Beats Q2 Earnings Estimates
zacks.com • 1mo ago SEC Filing ⚠ 6
SKIL: 10-Q · periodic report
Skillsoft's quarterly report for the period ended July 31, 2026 shows revenue of $98.2 million, down 2.9% year over year, with the consumer business down 25.9% and enterprise down 1.2%. Loss from continuing operations narrowed to $15.0 million ($1.67 per share) from $18.0 million a year earlier and adjusted EBITDA rose 7.1% to $33.4 million, but the total net loss widened to $42.4 million from $23.8 million on discontinued-operations charges tied to the Global Knowledge sale.
Skillsoft completed the sale of its Global Knowledge business to an Enduring Ventures affiliate on July 6, 2026 for $5.4 million in initial consideration plus $10.0 million in deferred consideration, recognizing an additional $22.4 million loss on sale in the quarter. The buyer missed the $3.4 million Seller Note payment due July 31, 2026, paying only $0.5 million by September 1, and Skillsoft has not accelerated the note while engaging on repayment timing.
The balance sheet shows $90.3 million of cash against roughly $574 million of term loan and A/R facility debt, a total shareholders' deficit of $93.3 million, and quarterly interest expense of $14.2 million. Forward-looking statements also reference the company's ability to regain and/or maintain compliance with NYSE listing standards, a notable risk flag for this small-cap software firm alongside an expected continued decline in the consumer business.

SKIL: 8-K · asset sale
Skillsoft Corp. completed the sale of its Global Knowledge business to an affiliate of Enduring Ventures for total consideration of approximately $13.4 million. The transaction comprised an initial payment of $5.4 million via a seller note and a net deferred payment of $8.0 million payable in quarterly installments.
The divestiture eliminates the Global Knowledge segment, which reported approximately $109 million in revenue in fiscal 2026, shifting the company's focus entirely to its AI-native skills management platform.
