We’re on a mission to build a future of work that works for everyone.
Guild was founded in 2015 with one simple belief: when opportunity is as evenly distributed as talent, everyone benefits. Individuals rise, companies grow, and our economy thrives.
As AI and evolving technologies disrupt the very nature and future of work, that belief is stronger than ever. The pace of change is accelerating, and the need for opportunity is only greater.
A new vision for talent
We live in a world where unrealized human potential is eroding business. Companies don’t have the talent or skills they need to survive and grow, and workers don’t have access to the learning opportunities that build true expertise and enable the career growth they want. Content providers and learning systems are falling short of their promises, and a lack of data and insights leaves leaders struggling to connect learning to business outcomes.
So we’ve built a bridge — connecting exceptional education and skilling experiences with actionable insights — to transform the way talent is built.
What we do
Guild offers purpose-built solutions that span the entire spectrum of business transformation needs. From nurturing foundational knowledge to cultivating job-specific skills and preparing for licensed roles, we turn learning investments into tangible business growth and sustainable talent pipelines.
And you can feel good about the investment you’re making in your people. As a public benefit corporation, we align the needs of companies, learning partners, and employees through a business model where we do well by doing good.
