GCC Financial Academy Learning Transformation
How a leading GCC financial services academy transformed their learning programmes with skills-based curriculum design and AI-powered personalised learning paths.
Generic learning with no skills connection
The academy served thousands of financial services professionals across the GCC region. Their learning programmes were well-regarded, but faced a fundamental challenge: courses were designed around topics, not skills. Learners completed programmes without clear connection to job requirements or career progression.
Sponsoring organisations struggled to measure ROI. Learners couldn't see how training connected to their career goals. And the academy had no way to personalise recommendations based on individual skill gaps.
Skills-based curriculum transformation
WeSoar worked with the academy to build a comprehensive skills taxonomy for financial services — covering banking, insurance, investment, and regulatory domains. Every course module was then mapped to specific skills and proficiency levels.
The platform now assesses each learner's current skills against their role requirements, identifies gaps, and recommends personalised learning paths. Progress is measured in skill development, not just course completion.
Measurable skill development
Learners now see exactly how each course contributes to their skill profile and career progression. Sponsoring organisations can track skill development across their teams. And the academy has differentiated itself in a competitive market with genuinely personalised, skills-based learning.
