Pearson and HCLTech have forged a multi-year strategic partnership focused on revolutionizing learning, skills, and workforce readiness in an AI-driven landscape.

As part of this collaboration, the two companies will co-develop products and services within a dedicated AI Tech Lab, aimed at enhancing career advancement opportunities.

HCLTech will leverage its engineering capabilities, including the GenAI platform AI Force and the edtech platform Career Shaper, to enrich these AI-powered learning initiatives.

This partnership is anticipated to create new revenue streams through co-developed products while also strengthening Pearson's B2B offerings, which generally yield higher margins compared to consumer-focused education products.
