Absorb Software, a global provider of AI-driven learning platforms, has launched The Mentorship Guild, a first-of-its-kind community for HR and L&D leaders. The platform empowers professionals to exchange expertise, develop skills, and foster growth through human connection, addressing the evolving demands of today’s workplace.
According to Absorb’s 2025 State of Upskilling Report, mentorship ranks among the most effective ways to build role-specific skills. Yet, over 40% of organizations do not use people-focused learning methods. The Mentorship Guild closes this gap by offering structured mentorship and peer learning opportunities at scale. Each quarter, members explore workplace trends through curated tools, guided conversations, and reflection prompts.
“As AI reshapes work and learning, HR and L&D leaders must act as change agents,” said Cheryl Yuran, CHRO of Absorb Software. “The Mentorship Guild delivers authentic mentorship at scale, enabling professionals to build meaningful connections while reducing the complexity of in-house programs.”
Features of The Mentorship Guild
Early traction highlights strong demand, with over 330 active users and a 95% satisfaction score. The community offers:
- Free access: Open to HR and L&D professionals at every career stage.
- Quarterly themes: Each quarter addresses critical workplace trends with practical resources.
- Flexible mentorship formats: Members can select formal mentorship, coffee chats, or peer-to-peer connections.
- Community engagement: Live events, member spotlights, and exclusive groups strengthen professional networks.
- Skill-building resources: Access to reports, case studies, webinars, and workshops with industry experts.
The community also includes a dedicated space for Absorb customers using its LMS or Together, enabling collaboration on learner engagement, feature adoption, and strategies to scale impact.
Transforming Learning with Human Connection
“Organizations need learning that is both strategic and human-centered,” Yuran added. “Absorb’s vision extends beyond the LMS into a Strategic Learning System that blends AI insights with mentorship, embedding learning into business operations.”
The Mentorship Guild is powered by Together, Absorb’s mentorship technology fully embedded into the Absorb Learning Management System. By merging mentorship with AI-driven innovation, Absorb reinforces its mission to redefine workforce development through authentic human connection.
