Udemy today published joint research with Indeed titled “The Future-Proofing Instinct,” analyzing job postings and employee upskilling between September 2023 and September 2025 across Australia, India, the UK and the US. The report found that just 4% of job listings reference AI, even as 67.5% of employee learning efforts focus on AI skills. In the technology sector, workers dedicate 95% of their upskilling to AI, while only 17.5% of fast-growing tech job posting skills are AI-related. Manufacturing employees spend 60% of learning time on AI despite zero AI mentions in the sector’s top job posting skills. Meanwhile, soft skills such as communication, critical thinking and leadership rank highly in employer demand but barely appear among Udemy’s fastest-growing course enrollments, highlighting a growing gap in foundational workforce capabilities.

Udemy will report its fourth quarter and full-year 2025 financial results after market close on Thursday, February 5, 2026, but will not host a live earnings call in light of its pending combination with Coursera. The press release will be made available in the “Quarterly Results” section of Udemy’s Investor Relations website. The merger remains subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, underscoring the strategic shift toward consolidating leadership in the AI-powered skills acceleration market.
