Kormo

Kormo, which is primarily a jobs and career marketplace for urban jobs, has gone big into the skill development space over the past few months. The platform's learn tab has helped hundreds of job seekers prepare themselves for various jobs. Kormo has a particular advantage when it comes to skills development since it works both with employers and j... ob seekers. Employers tell Kormo what the most in-demand skills are and where skill gaps exist in the market and the platform uses this information to design targeted content (videos, courses, assessments) to narrow the gap.
