OpenSesame Adds Chegg Skills Content to Plus Catalog
OpenSesame says it is expanding its OpenSesame Plus catalog with Chegg Skills content for technical and workplace capabilities. The development is relevant to enterprises that already subscribe and are reviewing whether the added material can support structured workforce development, but the available evidence is a vendor-announced catalog expansion rather than proof of learner or business outcomes.

What is changing in the catalog
OpenSesame announced that Chegg Skills content is joining OpenSesame Plus. The initial addition covers more than 100 courses in areas including artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, data science, data analytics, health care administration and workplace communication. OpenSesame says another 100 courses are expected by the end of 2026.
The stated purpose is to add deeper technical and durable-skills content to the courses already available through the subscription. Existing subscribers are described as being able to incorporate the new material into workforce development programmes through their current subscription.
How the learning model is positioned
Chegg Skills describes its approach as combining focused instruction with practice, feedback and assessment. The announcement also says its programmes address communication, critical thinking and learning agility alongside technical topics, positioning the content as more than introductory awareness training.
The announcement cites a Chegg Frontline Workers Skills Index finding that 44% of surveyed employees felt confident using AI tools in their current role. It also cites a Chegg impact report in which 80% of surveyed graduates said their careers had improved and 67% said they applied new skills immediately. These are supplier-reported figures, and the evidence does not establish how the surveys were designed, how representative respondents were, or whether the results apply to OpenSesame customers.

What changed
Chegg Skills content has been added to OpenSesame Plus across AI, cybersecurity, data, health care administration and workplace communication. OpenSesame says more than 100 courses are included initially and that another 100 are expected by year-end 2026.
Why it matters
The change can give existing subscribers more options for building pathways that combine technical subjects with communication and other durable skills. Its practical value will depend on course quality, role relevance, accessibility, assessment evidence, completion and application in the customer’s workforce. No independent evidence of adoption or outcomes was supplied.
What to watch
Now, ask the OpenSesame account team for the current course inventory, inclusion terms and release schedule. Select a small set of role-specific courses in one or two priority skill areas, then pilot them with defined measures for access, completion, demonstrated skill and on-the-job application. Expand only if the pilot shows a clear improvement over current content or closes a documented capability gap.
Evidence boundary
The announcement is from a vendor-linked source and includes supplier-reported survey and impact figures. Risks include assuming catalog breadth equals proficiency, duplicating existing content, assigning courses without practice or manager reinforcement, and relying on outcome claims that have not been independently corroborated.
OpenSesame has announced a general-availability expansion of OpenSesame Plus with more than 100 Chegg Skills courses, with further content expected by the end of 2026. For existing subscribers, the immediate enterprise consequence is broader access to technical and workplace-skills content without a stated need for a separate subscription. Treat this as a catalog and curation change to evaluate, not evidence that the new material will improve capability or performance.
