GSU becomes first HBCU to partner with Skilltype

GRAMBLING — The Grambling State University Digital Library and Learning Commons is proud to announce its partnership with Skilltype to modernize talent and organizational development at the 120-year old institution.

Launched in 2020 in response to the shift to remote work and online conferences, Skilltype enables personalized professional development for Grambling’s employees while producing real-time talent insights for administrators across the organization. Grambling State’s Digital Library and Learning Commons is the first Historically Black College or University (HBCU) to adopt Skilltype for talent management.

The Skilltype partnership is a part of a broader institutional investment into digitizing all campus operations. In 2019, GSU embarked on a first-ofits-kind construction project to build a fully born-digital library from the ground up.
