Udemy, at its PowerUp conference held at McLaren Racing headquarters on March 20, 2026, outlined the evolution of its platform beyond course delivery by revealing Altus, an AI solution for workforce skills and learning outcomes. Jacob Coulter, VP of Product Management at Udemy, stated the company is focusing on how organizations translate strategy into skills and measurable outcomes, noting the current "era of AI." The platform positions Altus as a system designed to connect business challenges directly to workforce reskilling.
