Nasdaq Welcomes Pluralsight, Inc. (Nasdaq: PS) to The Nasdaq Stock Market
May 17 2018 - 4:09PM
Pluralsight, Inc. (Nasdaq:PS), an enterprise software company
committed to closing the global technology skills gap, visited the
Nasdaq MarketSite in Times Square today in celebration of its
initial public offering (IPO) on The Nasdaq Stock Market.
With technology changing faster than the world’s ability to
adapt and acquire new skills, many companies find themselves held
back from their full potential because current technology skills
training programs rely on traditional in-person, instructor-led
training, or ILT, models. Pluralsight works to disrupt these
in-person ILT models by offering a cloud-based technology learning
platform that provides a broad range of tools, including skill
assessments, a curated library of courses, learning paths, and
business analytics. The platform uses a proprietary
machine-learning driven skill assessment algorithm and
recommendation engine to deliver valuable technological skills,
taught by subject-matter experts. By democratizing technology
skills through its platform, Pluralsight aims not only to expand
its future customer base but also to create a more tech-empowered,
equitable economy.
“All companies, across all industries, are now technology
companies, and Pluralsight is the supply chain to deliver the right
skills to bring their innovations to market and fulfill their core
objectives,” said Aaron Skonnard, Co-Founder and Chief Executive
Officer. “Technology is moving faster than our ability to learn it,
and the skills a developer learns today will be obsolete in
2020. Pluralsight combines the knowledge of world-renowned
technology experts with our powerful platform to empower companies
to invest in their developers and close these skills gaps.
With customers in over 150 countries, we are excited to announce
our listing on Nasdaq and take the important next step in our
journey to democratize technology skills around the globe.”
“The technological skills gap is one of the biggest obstacles
facing the global economy today, and Pluralsight’s innovative
approach, combined with its rapid growth, are proving that closing
the gap is not only possible, but also profitable,” said Nelson
Griggs, President, Nasdaq Stock Exchange. “As it continues to
create a more efficient economy, we look forward to supporting
Pluralsight in pursuing its mission.”
