ExpertusONE, a global leader in enterprise learning, today announced a milestone in learning management with the launch of a new integrated skills platform.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — ExpertusONE, a global leader in enterprise learning, today announced a milestone in learning management with the launch of a new integrated skills platform. The platform, which integrates seamlessly with the award-winning ExpertusONE LMS, adds intelligent skill-to-job and course-mapping capabilities supported by a proprietary library of more than 25,000 skills spanning multiple industries.

This launch marks the next stage in the company’s mission to bring fully integrated, organization-led learning to enterprises, allowing them to intentionally shape their workforce by identifying training needs and delivering on those needs with targeted learning modules and courses. The World Economic Forum states that, between 2024 and 2027, more than 44% of workers’ core skills will be heavily disrupted because technology is advancing faster than companies can design and scale-up their training programs. The combined power of the ExpertusONE LMS and Skills Platform will enable businesses to proactively assign training to learners based on the specific skills gaps that are emerging within the organization.

News of the launch comes just months after the company released the latest version of the ExpertusONE learning platform, combining decades of industry expertise with advanced AI technology to offer a comprehensive solution for development-focused HR officers, talent leaders, and heads of enterprise learning.

Summary of new features:

New holistic skills platform that allows organizations to strategically upskill their employees and shape their future workforceA library of more than 25,000 skills that span industries with the ability to tag courses and training modules using AIAutomatic generation of skills assessments for leaders to verify skills in actionThe ability to create skill cohorts using profile data or manual lists (or a combination) to help organizations manage the upskilling or reskilling of identified learnersSkills based learning recommendations, and learning-paths

“There’s an emerging gap between training and the needs of organizations, particularly when it comes to the last-mile delivery and acquisition of key skills,” said Ramesh Ramani, CEO of ExpertusONE. “We’ve designed this integrated skills platform to empower organizations to take a proactive, strategic approach to their workforce development. By combining our exhaustive skills library with the power of AI, we’re enabling companies to identify and address skill gaps in real-time so that they can shape the future of their workforce with precision and purpose.”

The ExpertusONE platform offers a responsive UI for mobile access, including an adaptive content player and AI-driven recommendations tailored to individual needs. Learners can discover a personalized learning experience with integrations into popular tools like Slack and Salesforce, while managers benefit from one-click access to team learning, streamlined recommendations, approvals, and verifications.

Residential Cold Climate Heat Pump Delivers Efficiency in Cold Climate Regions

ALPHARETTA, Ga., Oct. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — LG Electronics, a leading global player in air conditioning technologies, has been awarded the 2025 AHR Innovation Award in the Sustainable Solutions category for its advanced LG Residential Cold Climate Heat Pump. LG was chosen by an independent panel of ASHRAE member judges, who assessed entries based on their innovative design, creativity, application, value, and market impact potential.

The LG Residential Cold Climate Heat Pump, which will be featured at booth #6643 at AHR Expo 2025 in Orlando next February, offers opportunities to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions while improving inhabitants’ comfort.

Designed specifically for cold regions, it retains full heating capacity at -13°F (-25°C) and functions at 70 percent capacity even at -31°F (-35°C). The heat pump incorporates a refrigerant cycle to prevent frost accumulation on the outdoor heat exchanger, enhancing its heating performance. It uses a high-capacity, high-efficiency twin rotary inverter compressor with low Global Warming Potential (GWP) R32 (GWP 675) refrigerant, available with HSPF2 13.4 Btu/Wh and 13.6 kBtu/h.

“The recognition from ASHRAE and AHR reflects LG’s ongoing dedication to technological innovation and electrification in the HVAC industry,” said Steve Scarbrough, Senior Vice President and General Manager for LG Air Conditioning Technologies USA. “The Residential Cold Climate Heat Pump represents a reliable and efficient choice when faced with the difficulties posed by cold weather conditions. Our focus remains on creating more environmentally responsible solutions that align with consumer needs.”

LG’s comprehensive suite of heating and cooling solutions, catering to commercial, light-commercial, and residential applications, continues to receive industry recognition. This is largely due to LG’s consistent efforts in expanding its HVAC solution offerings, with a focus on innovation decarbonization and advancing electrification.

LG prioritizes heat pump advancement as a key component of the US’s climate improvement efforts. Several states have committed to improving decarbonization, setting a goal for heat pumps to constitute at least 65 percent of all new HVAC and hot water heating systems by the end of the decade.

LG’s commitment to these broader goals is further demonstrated by LG’s leadership in the Consortium for Advanced Heat Pump Research, founded in collaboration with the University of Alaska to establish an Advanced Cold Climate Heat Pump Laboratory in Alaska. Its goal is to drive HVAC innovation through specialized R&D and confront the complex issue of enhancing heat pump performance in regions subjected to severe cold, where low temperatures can result in reduced refrigerant circulation.

Understanding the necessity to develop and validate products under cold conditions, LG’s technology incorporated into the award-winning Residential Cold Climate Heat Pump is a testament to these ongoing research and development efforts, according to Scarbrough. “By minimizing reliance on fossil fuel-driven heating systems and reducing the need for supplementary back-up heating, the heat pump can contribute to more environmentally friendly solutions that support the larger decarbonization and electrification movements,” he said.

“To be recognized as an award winner is a true honor within our industry,” said AHR Expo Show Manager, Mark Stevens. “We are thrilled to highlight the dedication of manufacturers and team members as they work to create real solutions. The Innovation Awards aim to highlight companies, professionals and their innovation trajectory and to celebrate those that are pushing the bar.”
