Skilly Blog: Introducing HumanEdge – The Next Chapter for Skilly
01/06/2025

We are thrilled to announce an exciting evolution at Skilly—introducing Human-Edge, a transformative step forward in our journey to empower young people globally with essential soft skills in the era of AI.
Since our inception, Skilly has proudly supported over 50 schools across Ireland, enhancing the lives of thousands of students through real-time tracking and the meaningful development of their communication, resilience, financial, and social-emotional intelligence skills. Now, as we embark on this next chapter, Human-Edge expands our vision and scope, preparing young people to thrive in an increasingly AI-driven world.
Why Human-Edge?
Today's job market is rapidly evolving. As AI continues to automate technical tasks, uniquely human skills—such as critical thinking, adaptability, emotional intelligence, teamwork, and communication—have become crucial differentiators. Yet, a staggering 94% of employers still struggle to find young hires adequately equipped with these skills.
Recognising this urgent demand, Human-Edge is committed to bridging this gap, ensuring every young person is ready for future employability through practical, engaging, and technology-driven soft skills education.
Our Enhanced Ecosystem
Human-Edge combines our proven platform, Skilly.ie, with innovative new solutions designed to create a comprehensive soft skills ecosystem powered by AI on data directly from the user:
Skilly continues to provide real-time soft skills measurement and insights directly within secondary schools' SEL curriculum, adding Financial Wellbeing and Sustainability Modules to complement its comprehensive SPHE JC and SC modules.
CareerCrunch.ai offers AI-powered personalised career guidance, helping students explore and plan their future career paths with confidence.
ParentCrunch (coming soon): Empowers parents with resources to actively nurture their children's development of soft skills at home.
VR Curriculum (in development): Introduces immersive virtual reality experiences, providing experiential, scenario-based training in soft skills, unlike anything previously available in education.
Taking Soft Skills Education Global
The evolution to Human-Edge marks our commitment to international expansion and broader impact. Our proven approach—validated through strong traction and engagement in Ireland—is now ready for global scalability, targeting emerging youth markets in the UK, Europe, the US, UAE and Australia.
With strategic partnerships, advanced technology, and a dedicated, expert-led team, we’re excited to scale our impact dramatically. Human-Edge positions itself as the definitive global leader in youth soft skills education, akin to becoming the "Duolingo of Soft Skills."
The Journey Ahead
Human-Edge isn’t just a new name; it’s a bold vision and a clear pathway to achieving meaningful global impact. Backed by innovative technology, a passionate team, and a thriving community of educators and students, we’re prepared to drive this new era of education forward.
We invite you—schools, educators, parents, students, partners, and supporters—to join us in this exciting new chapter. Together, let's empower youth with the human edge they need to succeed.
