While we can’t wait to dive headfirst into 2020, we wanted to take a moment and reflect back on some key milestones, both in 2019, and since the inception of Skilljar back in 2013.  To date, we’re thrilled to share that Skilljar has helped educate nearly 2 million individuals, powering more than 5 million hours of education, and over 60 million lessons. 

And in 2019, we continued to drive Skilljar forward, with a slew of innovations, recognition, and a truly amazing customer conference. Read on for snapshot of 2019 at Skilljar!
