HOWSPACE: AN ALTERNATIVE TO DEGREED
What’s the difference between
Degreed and Howspace?
Degreed is a learning experience platform
As an LXP, focused on enabling employees to manage and direct their own learning, Degreed supports companies in delivering a wide variety of skills-first training programs geared toward individual employees and their skill development within an organization.
This makes Degreed a great solution for organizations that need to quickly upskill employees and maintain organizational standards with less top-down management from administrators.

Howspace is a collaborative
learning platform
Like Degreed, you can also deliver employee training and development programs through Howspace. However, it offers much more than isolated and self-paced learning journeys.
Howspace delivers learning truly embedded in the employees’ flow of work — combining social learning, collaboration and teamwork, and personal reflection, to help employees learn, make sense, and ultimately take action together.
Howspace is a great fit for organizations such as
Corporate Companies
Consulting & Training Services
Associations & Trade Unions

3 Reasons why 500K+ users choose Howspace for learning and training
Howspace is accessible to a global workforce
It bridges time zones, languages, and locations, allowing everyone to get actively involved, no matter which office, which country, or even which language they use daily.
Through a blend of live and async learning combined with built-in automatic translations, participants are able to learn, collaborate, and grow together — from anywhere and all within the same platform.

Howspace focuses on social-first iterative learning
Most learning programs are typically isolated and self-paced, not community-driven. Howspace embeds collaborative learning in their day-to-day work — with a mixture of activities that people complete, and reflect on, together.
Because more social interaction and more touchpoints lead to greater impact, greater retention, and longer-lasting behavioral changes.
Howspace scales programs without giving up active participation
Often traditional e-learning programs are built with limited participant input, especially as they scale. With interactive exercises, peer communities, and AI-powered collaboration tools, Howspace provides everything you need to build scalable, results-driven training and learning programs.
We would argue that the more people actively engaged in and contributing to the learning journey the more our platform shines!

“It was key for us to have such an easy, accessible, and flexible tool. We didn’t want something static, but instead wanted something that can flow with us as we move through the process—that’s what attracted us to Howspace. Together with the Howspace team, we’re creating an accessible space, and we’re able to respond to last-minute needs.”
– Nancy Khweiss, Deputy Head of GEF Secretariat at UN Women
