Gosu Upskill by Gosu Academy

Give your team a place to practice the real job.

We build custom training games around the situations your employees face at work. They practice the decisions that matter in an experience shaped around your organization.

Custom training games for the workplace.

Why practice matters

How much training
makes it to next week?

People can finish a course and struggle to recall it when the job calls for it. Without opportunities to use the learning, information fades after the session ends.

That is the forgetting problem. We build training games that bring people back to the decisions they need to remember, with opportunities to practice and get feedback.

Built around your organization

Custom simulations.
Training built for you.

We build custom training games and simulations around your roles, procedures, and learning goals. Your subject experts help shape the scenarios and define what good performance looks like.

Discuss your training

Hard skills

Practice the technical work and the procedures behind it.

  • Equipment checks and operating procedures
  • Cybersecurity and compliance decisions
  • Product knowledge and workplace systems

Soft skills

Practice how people communicate and respond under pressure.

  • Leadership and team decisions
  • Customer conversations and negotiation
  • Conflict resolution and de-escalation

One scenario can train both: follow the right procedure while handling the conversation around it.

Where the training fits

From your brief
to their first session.

We work with your team through the build. The scope and delivery plan follow the skills you want people to practice.

  1. Find the training need

    Identify the tasks that matter and agree on what good performance looks like.

  2. Design the experience

    Map the scenarios with your experts and choose how employees will practice.

  3. Build and test together

    Develop the game, review it with your team, and refine it through playtesting.

  4. Launch and learn

    Roll out the experience and use player feedback and the agreed measures to guide improvements.

A few practical questions

Do employees need gaming experience?

We design for the people taking the training. Controls and guidance are part of the experience, and we test them with the intended audience.

Can a game follow our own procedures?

Yes. Your team helps define the situations, the available decisions, and the standards the game should teach. We review the content with your subject experts during development.

What happens on a demo call?

We'll walk through examples, discuss your training need, and explore what a custom game could look like for your team. You can bring an existing course or a specific workplace challenge.
