Automated learningGap → path → skill on the record

Closes the gaps
the plan identified.

What it removes

Training that nobody finishes.

59% of employees report having no formal workplace training. Generic catalogues get ignored. October assigns learning with a reason, from a real gap or a real goal, and follows it up until it is done.

  • Manual chasing
  • Spreadsheet CPD
Mentorship and insight

People who teach people.

Mentorship programmes match mentors and mentees by skills, goals and career path. Personality insights from assessments explain work and communication styles so the pairing works from the first session.
