OpenLearning Limited (ASX:OLL), the AI-powered learning management system provider, has announced the acquisition of Employability Advantage, a leading provider of digital work-readiness and experiential learning programs, from Education Centre of Australia Pty Ltd (ECA Group).
The acquisition, for a nominal consideration of AU$1.00, includes digital assets under the Upskill brand, such as skills diagnostics, resume generators, interview simulators, and career-focused short courses, as well as live bootcamps and workplace simulation projects. These assets will now be delivered globally through the OpenLearning platform, with no associated customer contracts or liabilities transferred.
OpenLearning CEO Adam Brimo said-
“This acquisition expands the range of high-quality digital content and services available on our platform. By delivering Employability Advantage’s programs, we can showcase new use cases for our LMS and support learners in preparing for the workforce through scalable and outcome-focused online experiences,” he said.
Loren D’Souza, Head of Operations at Employability Advantage, will join OpenLearning as part of the acquisition.
“Our curated resources and bootcamps are designed to guide graduates toward job readiness. Now, with OpenLearning’s advanced LMS, we can reach more learners around the world,” said D’Souza.
While the assets have no book value, OpenLearning sees strategic potential in integrating Employability Advantage’s offerings into its existing SaaS ecosystem. ASX has granted a waiver from Listing Rule 10.1, allowing the acquisition to proceed without shareholder approval, given the nominal value and absence of transferred liabilities.
OpenLearning plans to reconnect with past Employability Advantage clients to offer services under recurring revenue or fee-for-service models, further reinforcing the platform’s commercial and educational versatility.
