ETS is driving global progress by advancing measurement science, promoting lifelong learning, and harnessing AI, empowering individuals and organizations to thrive in the evolving education and employment landscapes.
In today’s fast-paced world, digital transformation is revolutionizing nearly every facet of our lives—from the way we connect and work to how we access information, learn and advance. This shift is also redefining the skills required for success. Technical skills alone are no longer sufficient; durable skills such as emotional intelligence, communication, and problem- solving have become crucial.
Recent data captured in the ETS Human Progress Report shows that over 80 percent of people worldwide acknowledge the need for continuous learning to achieve prosperity. As education systems and employers increasingly recognize the importance of these competencies, the need to fairly measure and certify them has never been greater. This documentary explores how one organization is empowering people from all backgrounds and walks of life to realize their full potential and prepare for a future they desire.

These barriers motivate ETS to build and deliver solutions that promote skill proficiency, empower upward mobility, and expand opportunities for everyone, everywhere.
