11 December, 2025 — Deel, the all-in-one payroll and HR platform for global teams, and OpenSesame, a trusted provider of curated online training, today announced the official launch of their new integration within Engage, Deel’s AI-powered workspace for performance, learning, and development. This partnership makes it easier than ever for organizations to deliver learning that’s global, personalized, and friction-free – supporting skill development, compliance, and career growth, all within the Deel experience.
Through this integration, Deel customers with an OpenSesame account can access OpenSesame’s expansive catalog of 50,000+ expert-led courses. Available in over 70 languages and from more than 100 leading publishers, OpenSesame courses cover topics including compliance, leadership, technology, wellness, and workplace culture. Organizations can now deliver curated learning in the flow of work with automatic updates, built-in analytics, and localized content tailored to their teams.
“The challenge with supporting global teams is making sure every employee gets training that actually fits their needs, wherever they work,” said Rebeca Mesa, VP of Partnerships at OpenSesame. “OpenSesame’s expertise in course curation, multilingual content, and AI-driven personalization complements Deel’s unified global HR platform, supporting teams in more than 150 countries and simplifying cross-border operations. Together, we’re giving organizations a stronger foundation to build skills across their workforce at scale.”
“Learning is only effective when it’s accessible, relevant, and embedded in everyday work,” said Ryan Freeman, Head of Partnerships at Deel. “As Engage evolves to support more advanced development pathways, OpenSesame has naturally emerged as a strong ally in enhancing the learning experience, driven by the richness, quality, and global breadth of its catalog. By bringing their world-class training directly into Engage, we’re giving global teams a seamless way to develop skills at scale, without adding complexity for HR or managers.”
Built for the way global teams learn today
This integration addresses a growing challenge for global employers: how to provide continuous learning across distributed teams without adding administrative complexity.

- Equip teams with ongoing development to boost engagement and retention
- Meet compliance requirements with prebuilt, audit-ready training bundles
- Align learning programs to business goals through curated, measurable content
- Deliver consistent, high-quality training across departments, roles, and regions
“Upskilling isn’t something companies can treat as optional anymore,” Mesa added. “With Deel, we’re helping HR and L&D leaders move faster and spend less time on manual work, so they can focus on helping people build the skills they need to grow.”
