PLANO, Texas, June 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Simplilearn, a leading global digital skills training platform, announced the launch of SimpliMentor GPT, the edtech industry's first comprehensive AI-powered career coach specifically designed for those on their digital upskilling journey. Built to fill a long-standing void in scalable, customized career mentoring, SimpliMentor GPT bridges the gap between skill-building and career progression by offering real-time, personalized guidance at every stage of a professional's growth.

It stands out for its ability to offer accurate and culturally relevant career guidance in multiple languages, making quality mentorship accessible to non-English speaking professionals worldwide. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its ability to seamlessly integrate career counseling with actionable learning pathways, directly connecting users to relevant certification programs and resources that align with their professional goals.

Mr. Krishna Kumar, Founder and CEO of Simplilearn, speaking about the launch, said, "We recognized that today's professionals face an overwhelming array of choices when it comes to upskilling and career advancement, and SimpliMentor GPT eliminates the guesswork by providing data-driven, personalized guidance that transforms career aspirations into achievable milestones.
