Blueprints are the plans to something great.
SumTotal Skills Blueprint - powered by Lightcast - gives licensed customers the job and skills blueprints to supercharge their upskilling, reskilling, and talent development efforts. Now available to Learning Management and Talent Management SAAS cutomers on our 22.3 release, Skills Blueprint is a new product add-on that delivers Lightcast's market-informed data to customers - who are starting their own skill taxonomy, modernizing an aging database, or staying on the leading edge of skilling in their industry.With Skills Blueprint enabled, customers can explore job and skill data from Lightcast, the leader in labor market data, to inform their SumTotal skill data. These unique market insights also support enhanced organization planning and organization management, and help ensure jobs are attracting the proper talent for the work required. Organizations who embrace a modern skill taxonomy to power upskilling and reskilling functionality see more engaged employees, quicker staffing times for gigs, projects, and open roles, and unlock greater value from their content library.Use Skills Blueprint's Market Comparison workflow to find job-based insights of the most in-demand, prevalent skills. Using an existing job taxonomy to uncover skill recommendations allows rapid skill management, unlocking upskilling for end-users and reskilling functionality for leaders and administrators. In 2023, Skills Blueprint will see additional functionalities around Lightcast data, including more job demand and job attribute data, even more skill details, data export/management options, additional skill recommendations, the abilty to filter based on certain industries, and more. Our partnership with Lightcast will also be instrumental in delivering even more intelligent recommendations in the future.As we get closed to our release of Skills Blueprint, more information will be available through the SumTotal Marketplace and SumTotal Connect. Contact your SumTotal Professional for more information and how to get started with SumTotal Skills Blueprint.

Existing customers should reach out to their SumTotal Professional to learn more about Skills Blueprint, and can view the Skills Blueprint Office Hours session in SumTotal Connect. Potential customers should contact marketplaceadmin@sumtotalsystems.com.
These are two separate partnerships. While Skillsoft's Skill Benchmarks are built around Lightcast skill data, SumTotal's integration will focus on real-time market data.
Built on SumTotal's Core Platform, Skills Blueprint uses core security and suite-wide configuration flags to control functionality. In addition, the architecture of Skills Blueprint allows for a simplified integration setup. Once 22.3 becomes generally available, we will share more details on the options customers who license Skills Blueprint will have during the setup process.
SumTotal believes that each customer benefits most from a custom skill taxonomy that best fits the individual organization. Skills Blueprint will not replace your existing skill taxonomy; rather, Skills Blueprint's flagship feature - Market Comparison - delivers Lightcast's job-based skill data to your fingertips: providing the information you need to make informed decisions about improving your own skill taxonomy.
