Pluralsight has unveiled their technology learning platform for technology professionals.
The on-demand, cloud-based solution allows technology professionals to assess their current skill level, follow directed learning paths, learn through expert-authored courses, test drive new technologies via an interactive lab environment and access one-on-one mentoring when needed.
The new platform disrupts traditional classroom training and provides a fully-digital learning experience, empowering enterprise technology teams to expand proficiencies, increase productivity and gain a competitive edge.
“Half of what technology teams know today will be obsolete in two years, and in order to sustain a competitive advantage, businesses can’t afford to let their staff’s skills depreciate,” said Aaron Skonnard, co-founder and CEO of Pluralsight. “Through our new platform, technology professionals can now keep up with the rapid change of their industries and master technologies faster than ever before.”
Subscribing technology teams can also learn hands-on in a virtual lab environment. Pluralsight enterprise subscriptions include access to Code School, an interactive, gamified lab experience for brushing up on or learning new coding languages. With more than 50 courses on popular development technologies, Code School lets developers test drive new technologies before putting their skills into practice.
“We are extremely proud to introduce an end-to-end, completely unified learning experience for technology skills development,” said Nate Walkingshaw, chief experience officer at Pluralsight.
“Tech-centric companies are feeling the pain of the global technology skills gap, and our new platform helps enterprises mitigate those challenges and make business goals a reality. We’re making the process of skilling up simpler and more effective, enabling technology professionals to push boundaries and produce their best work.”
Pluralsight’s disruptive learning platform is the culmination of user-focused research combined with seven strategic technology and service acquisitions over the course of two years.
This includes Smarterer, an adaptive skill assessment company; Code School, an interactive lab-like learning experience for developers; and HackHands, an on-demand mentoring platform for programmers, whose proprietary technologies have now been integrated to provide a seamless, robust experience.
