GALWAY, IRELAND – 2025-12-11
Since the translation of its platform into Spanish, Alison is seeing a sharp rise in Spanish-speaking Learners starting, completing, and graduating from courses. The growth reflects a strong appetite for high-quality education delivered in people’s native language, reinforcing Alison’s mission to make learning accessible to anyone, anywhere, at no cost.
By offering its courses and career development tools in Spanish, Alison is making it easier for Learners across Latin America, the Caribbean, Spain, the United States, and Spanish-speaking communities worldwide to gain practical skills, build confidence, and connect learning directly to real opportunities in their local economies.
Free E-Learning in Spanish to Meet Rising Skills Demand in the Job Market
The launch of Alison’s Spanish platform comes at a critical moment for Spanish-speaking job markets, where digital transformation is reshaping workplaces and employers report persistent skills gaps in technology and soft skills. According to the World Economic Forum, across Latin America and the Caribbean, for example, 84% of employers plan to upskill their workforce to meet the rising demand for digital and tech talent, highlighting soft skills such as leadership, social influence, and resilience as increasingly significant in hiring and promotion decisions.
Alison’s newly translated courses and career tools allow Spanish-speaking Learners to progress from account creation to certification entirely in their own language. This enables them to focus fully on subjects such as Digital Skills, Business, Health, Customer Service, and Personal Development without language barriers. Studying in Spanish also supports immediate real-world application, whether it’s serving customers, supporting patients, working with international clients, or starting a small business.
As economies from Bogotá to Cancún to Seville invest in digital sectors, services, and remote work, Alison’s free model offers a practical way to close skills gaps: people can build in-demand digital and business capabilities, strengthen soft skills such as communication, leadership, and resilience, and combine local-language learning with globally benchmarked content and assessments.
In a labour market where nearly six in ten workers worldwide are expected to require upskilling by 2030, Alison’s Spanish platform provides jobseekers and workers with a realistic, tuition-free path to stay employable, advance in their careers, and compete for both local and international roles.
A Next Step in Alison’s Multilingual Mission
The launch of Alison’s Spanish platform is part of a broader multilingual strategy to make free online learning available in more languages. By reducing language barriers, Alison aims to ensure that cost is not the only barrier removed; understanding, relevance, and local applicability are also addressed.
According to a report by Research and Markets, the e-learning market in Latin America and other Spanish-speaking regions is continuing to grow, driven by digital platforms and the rise of remote education. Alison’s Spanish offering will play a key role in helping workers, students, and job seekers stay ahead of changing job markets and access new opportunities.
