Pluralsight, Inc., the globally renowned technology workforce development company, has announced enhancements for its industry-renowned skills platform at Pluralsight LIVE.
These updates include the introduction of Priorities - a first-of-its-kind tool designed to completely align skills development strategy with business objectives and Cloud labs - a hands-on learning experience designed to accelerate cloud skills development.
New software updates
Brandon Peay, the Executive Vice President (EVP) - Pluralsight Skill, at Pluralsight, Inc. said, “As enterprises accelerate digital transformation initiatives to meet the demands of an increasingly distributed workforce, the need for skills development has never been more important.”
Brandon Peay adds, “With Pluralsight’s new enhancements such as Cloud labs and Priorities, our enterprise customers will be better equipped to give their technologists the fastest possible path to skills development and deliver outcomes that enable enterprises to build better teams and products.”
Priorities software tool
Priorities tool also enables technology leaders to specify which skills are needed to achieve technology priorities
Priorities is a new tool that allows technology leaders to align their organisation’s skill development programmes with specific projects and business objectives, and monitor skills progress over time. With priorities, tech leaders have a fully customisable set of planning and analytics tools that enable them to map skills development to the technology initiatives that are most important to the business.
Priorities tool also enables technology leaders to specify which skills are needed to achieve technology priorities, and then organise content and Skill IQ assessments into skill development plans that will help accelerate their team’s ability to deliver on business-critical projects.
Advanced analytics tools for tracking progress
Pre-curated templates are included so organisations spend less time designing curriculum and get their teams’ upskilling faster.
Advanced analytics tools for tracking progress expand beyond traditional usage metrics that are limited in action-ability, in order to provide objective data on how skill levels are progressing over time. Priorities enables technology leaders to eliminate skills gaps at an accelerated pace.
Cloud Labs for hands-on interactive learning
Cloud labs deliver an immersive, hands-on interactive learning experience, enabling learners to develop cloud skills, by following step-by-step instructions in a provisioned cloud environment.
To meet the increased demand for cloud skills development, Pluralsight has developed hundreds of labs, in order to help learners develop the skills that they need for major cloud providers, including AWS (Amazon Web Services), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud.
Closely aligned to cloud certification paths
Cloud labs are closely aligned to cloud certification paths, to give users hands-on practice to accelerate learning
Cloud labs are closely aligned to cloud certification paths, to give users hands-on practice to accelerate learning and prepare to earn certifications, with the major cloud providers.
The combination of Pluralsight’s industry-renowned cloud skills development content with interactive lab-based learning experiences gives enterprises deeper, more robust tools, in order to accelerate cloud skills development within the organisation and deliver on cloud initiatives.
Implementing robust cloud skills development
John Jester, Vice President - Customer Experience at Google Cloud, said “As enterprises embrace digital transformation initiatives and use cloud computing to deliver support and services to distributed workforces, there has never been a greater need for organisations to implement robust cloud skills development programmes."
John Jester adds, “Pluralsight is a valued partner for Google Cloud, and has fully integrated its labs experience with our Qwiklabs training platform, which empowers learners to gain practice in the real Google Cloud environment - no simulations. As we work together with Pluralsight to provide hands-on learning experiences for our customers, we can ensure their teams have the requisite skills to deliver new innovations.”
Both Priorities and Cloud labs are available to enterprises.
