BENGALURU, KARNATAKA, India & Singapore – In a significant leap for corporate training, HARDSKILLS has unveiled its latest product, LAUNCH. This revolutionary onboarding platform dramatically reduces the time-to-productivity for Gen Z new hires from the global norm of three to six months to an impressive six weeks. LAUNCH aims to empower young talents and drive immediate impact within organizations.

Gen Z, now constituting almost 30% of the global workforce, enters the labor market faster than any previous generation. LAUNCH addresses the professional development needs of these digital natives, facilitating skills like communication, problem-solving, and workplace adaptability—crucial in an AI-disrupted job landscape.

"The Gen Z effect is a historic workforce shift that companies and governments cannot ignore," said Anthony Hayward, co-founder & CEO of HARDSKILLS. "We developed LAUNCH to meet the unique needs of this generation, ensuring they feel purpose and engagement at work." Already implemented by major corporations like Deloitte, Nestle, and PwC, LAUNCH has shown remarkable success, with over 90% of trainees navigating their initial employment months successfully.

HARDSKILLS' innovative approach includes AI-powered course characters acting as personal trainers, providing immediate feedback and fostering skill fluency. This personalized learning experience has resonated well with user feedback, with one learner stating, "HARDSKILLS' human-like AI personal trainer was amazing. It felt like I was talking to a human. The feedback was valuable for my professional growth."
