O'Reilly AI Academy Named “Enterprise Learning Solution of the Year” in 2025 EdTech Breakthrough Awards Program

Prestigious International Awards Program Recognizes Outstanding Educational Technology Products and Companies

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--O’Reilly, the premier learning platform for technology professionals, today announced that the O’Reilly AI Academy has been selected as winner of the “Enterprise Learning Solution of the Year” in the annual EdTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by EdTech Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies and solutions in the global educational technology market.

The O’Reilly AI Academy provides tailored learning tracks to ensure individuals can acquire the skills to build a strong foundation in generative AI, facilitating GenAI upskilling across an entire organization. One of the primary learning tracks, GenAI Essentials for Everyone, focuses on a comprehensive range of skills including prompting fundamentals and enhancing productivity. Additional tracks include GenAI for Leaders, GenAI for Business Analysis, GenAI for Executives, GenAI for HR, GenAI for Marketing, and GenAI for Project Management.

The O’Reilly AI Academy’s learning tracks are supported by over 300 additional pieces of content tailored by role and industry to cater to teams across security, data, finance, marketing, and project management within sectors like government and healthcare. This content includes books, audiobooks, live and on-demand courses, short-form text, and video. Learners who successfully finish these learning tracks can earn completion badges and certificates, and the badges can be embedded in email, across social media, on LinkedIn, and more.

“O’Reilly’s learning platform gives teams the resources they need to drive business outcomes. GenAI is a must-have for everyone in an organization—not just tech teams. The challenge is helping team members acquire these new skills efficiently— meaning focusing only on what they need to know and in the way that they learn best,” said Steve Johansson, managing director of EdTech Breakthrough. “Answers from O’Reilly enables active learning so users can interact with content rather than simply ingesting a stream from a book or video. As just one piece of an ecosystem of tools, O’Reilly’s incredible technology serves the modern learning experience, helping users develop the skills needed to stay relevant in a changing world.”

The mission of the EdTech Breakthrough Awards is to honor excellence and recognize innovation, hard work, and success in a range of educational technology categories, including student engagement, school administration, adaptive learning, STEM education, remote learning, career preparation, and many more. This year’s program attracted thousands of nominations from over 15 different countries throughout the world.

“AI won’t replace humans—but humans with AI will replace humans without AI. At O’Reilly, we’re building training materials about AI while also using it ourselves to build new kinds of learning experiences for learners of all skill levels and interests,” said Tim O’Reilly, founder and CEO of O’Reilly. “We humbly accept the ‘Enterprise Learning Solution of the Year’ award from EdTech Breakthrough as we continue to expand our offerings to make a real difference in the arc of someone’s career. We want our users to learn; and we want our users to have the educational resources they need to thrive in an AI-dominant landscape.”
