Connect Udemy learning  directly to a goal

Employees can find Udemy for Business courses from the Betterworks goal experience and connect one or more courses to the goal or milestone they’re working toward. Once connected, Betterworks receives course progress from Udemy and updates progress automatically.

How it works

Search — Open Udemy while creating a goal or milestone and enter a keyword to find courses available through your organization’s Udemy for Business account.
Select — Choose one or more courses to connect to the goal, then save your selection.
Track progress — Betterworks receives course progress from Udemy every three hours and reflects it on the connected goal. When multiple courses are connected, progress is calculated using the average completion across those courses.

Find Udemy courses that support a Development Goal

Employees can bring Udemy learning into Development Goals from the Unified Talent Profile. Betterworks can recommend courses based on the employee’s job context, target skill, and skill level, helping connect a specific development need to relevant learning.

How it works

Choose a development focus — Select a skill to develop or create a Development Goal in the Unified Talent Profile.
Review recommendations — See AI-recommended Udemy courses based on the employee’s job context, target skill, and skill level.
