Austin, Texas, 16 July 2026 — OpenSesame, a leading provider of online learning content, today announced it has become Workday's first and only embedded learning content partner, marking a significant catalyst for how Workday customers access learning and develop their workforce.
OpenSesame is a partner in the Workday ecosystem, delivering curated learning content that integrates with Workday Learning, powered by Sana, Workday Skills Cloud, and Workday Talent Optimization’s Career Hub to help organizations connect skills intelligence to real learning outcomes.
"Strengthening our partnership and expanding our offering in the Workday ecosystem is a forging step for OpenSesame," said Don Spear, CEO of OpenSesame. "Workday is where thousands of organizations engage their people daily, and we are now the content partner that expands and completes that experience. For our joint customers, it means less complexity and better learning outcomes through the tools they already use every day."
