The skills gap is getting bigger. The only silver lining to that truth is the fact that any individual, company or state that prioritizes upskilling will have a massive competitive advantage. Degreed & the entire SkillUpUtah coalition are making that happen for the State of Utah."

David Blake, Executive Chairman

Degreed

As Utah’s flagship institution, we are a vital partner in meeting the state’s economic needs and that’s why investing in short-term reskilling and upskilling programs is so important. Certificate and one-year master’s programs will ensure rapid development of skills that will help put Utahns to work, open advancement opportunities and prepare them for a changing economy—with a particular emphasis on high-demand jobs—tech, data analytics, health, finance, computing and software development.

Ruth V. Watkins, President

University of Utah
