FOCUS Learning Expands Workforce Solutions with PRO Solutions Acquisition

FOCUS Learning Expands Its Reach by Acquiring PRO Solutions

In a strategic move that broadens its operational capabilities, FOCUS Learning Corporation, known for its VISION and Qlarity training platforms aimed at nuclear operators and utilities, has announced the acquisition of PRO Solutions. Based in Glen Mills, Pennsylvania, PRO Solutions specializes in work management and asset reliability software and services, including their noteworthy Planning and Scheduling Tool Assistant (PaSTA) and OPEX360 services.

The acquisition, finalized on July 31, 2026, marks a significant shift for FOCUS Learning, which will now operate under the FOCUS Performance brand. This rebranding reflects the company’s commitment not only to workforce training and qualification but also to planning and executing the tasks that skilled workers are qualified to perform. FOCUS Learning CEO Jay Steele emphasized the urgency of linking workforce readiness directly with work scheduling and execution, an area in which PRO Solutions excels.

The integration of PRO Solutions’ tools enables FOCUS Learning to address a major challenge faced by operators in highly regulated industries: ensuring that the right personnel are both qualified and scheduled to perform critical work. Traditionally, training and work planning have been managed through separate systems, creating potential pitfalls in operational efficiency. With PRO Solutions’ expertise, FOCUS Learning aims to eliminate these silos and enhance the planning and execution process by providing a more cohesive view of workforce qualifications and availability.

PaSTA serves as an integrated solution to streamline weekly management of work assignments, helping planners coordinate the people and resources required to execute tasks efficiently. It is designed to work alongside existing enterprise systems, including SAP, IBM Maximo, and Oracle Primavera, making it a versatile addition to FOCUS Learning’s repertoire. The development of a companion mobile application extends these capabilities into the field, providing real-time updates and management.

As the FOCUS Performance brand rolls out, existing client agreements and support arrangements will remain unchanged, assuring customers of continuity in service. The legal entity will still operate as FOCUS Learning Corporation. The transition aims to create a closer alignment between FOCUS's mission—empowering the world through workforce performance—and the practical outcomes of safety, effectiveness, and timeliness.

In addition to expanding their operational capabilities, this acquisition brings forth opportunities for investment in developing and enhancing the PaSTA tool, ensuring that it remains at the forefront of the industry. As underscored by Alexander Mears, Managing Partner at The Brydon Group, this expansion significantly enhances FOCUS’s capabilities across the entire workforce performance lifecycle, addressing an increasingly crucial need for regulated operators.

FOCUS Learning has established itself as a trusted provider in the nuclear, government, aviation, and utility sectors, helping organizations manage their training programs, qualifications, and overall workforce readiness. The firm’s commitment remains steadfast as they explore innovative solutions to empower their clients to perform critical work effectively and safely.

With the strategic acquisition of PRO Solutions, FOCUS Learning Corporation is positioning itself strategically to bridge the gap between workforce training and work execution, ultimately enhancing their value proposition in the industry's competitive landscape. The integration promises not only to optimize workforce performance but also to ensure that personnel are prepared and available to meet the demands of today’s complex operational environments.
