Guild, the leading talent development company, has announced a new partnership with Wharton Online, the digital learning platform of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, bringing Wharton’s acclaimed executive education programs into Guild’s learning marketplace. This collaboration reinforces Guild’s commitment to helping companies build resilient leaders prepared to navigate technological, economic, and workforce change.

The need for leadership readiness has never been greater. By 2030, 39% of workers’ core skills will change. Navigating this transformation demands leaders who are willing to learn and adapt alongside their organizations, even at the executive level. Leaders who embrace a growth mindset, cultivate learning agility, and model these behaviors for their teams significantly strengthen their organization’s ability to respond to market shifts and disruptions. Organizations that invest in leadership development initiatives consistently report greater innovation and more sustainable growth.

“The pace of change in the workforce has made transformational leadership table stakes,” said Bijal Shah, CEO of Guild. “Leading through change requires learning through change. Wharton’s executive education programs bring academic rigor and real-world relevance that will help leaders build adaptability, inspire their teams, and drive business impact. Together, we’re ensuring companies can build from within at every level to meet the challenges of constant change.”

Wharton Online’s offerings are designed for busy professionals seeking to immediately apply new insights in their roles. Leaders gain access to faculty-taught programs that translate cutting-edge research into practical tools for building organizational resilience.

“Wharton Online’s offerings empower leaders to navigate disruption with confidence, translate insights into action, and rally their organizations to thrive in today’s dynamic environment,” said Eric Hamberger, managing director of Wharton Online. “We are proud to join Guild’s Learning Marketplace to expand access to leadership education that helps companies cultivate resilience and unlock long-term growth.”
