Pluralsight One Announces New Products for Nonprofit and Education
Sectors to Democratize Technology Skills
Pluralsight, Inc. (NASDAQ: PS), the enterprise technology learning
platform, today announced new product offerings through the
company’s social enterprise Pluralsight One to drive significant,
lasting social impact by improving equal access to technology
skills. Pluralsight One is launching products for the social and
education sectors to amplify their capacity and equip them and the
communities they support with the technology skills needed to solve
the world’s greatest challenges.
“When we created Pluralsight One a year ago, we wanted to build
something that would meaningfully contribute to making the world a
better place for everyone,” said Aaron Skonnard, Co-founder and CEO
of Pluralsight. “Whether it’s working with displaced youth, deeply
understanding the needs of nonprofits and those they serve, funding
programs that provide technology access to women and girls, working
with organizations like Code.org and CSTA, Pluralsight One is
democratizing technology skills to create a better future for us
all.”
Through the new Pluralsight One products, global nonprofits will
have the ability to develop technology skills to accelerate their
missions and maximize their impact. Pluralsight One is offering
nonprofits steeply discounted access to the Pluralsight platform to
improve operational and programmatic capacity through technology
skill development that in turn enables them to better serve their
communities and solve global challenges. In addition, nonprofits
can also make the Pluralsight platform available to their
beneficiaries directly so that they, too, can learn from
world-renowned technology experts and access more opportunities
through technology.
Pluralsight One has already seen the power of technology skills
development in action through its growing nonprofit community
around the world. Leading global nonprofits are already making an
impact for the world through technology and building skills that
will expand employment opportunities for underserved and at risk
communities. From global nonprofits that are building technology
solutions to track and respond to Ebola to those that are working
on skill development for young refugees across the Middle East to
anti-human trafficking organizations working on employability,
great work is underway to create progress through technology.
“Technology touches every industry and fuels innovation,
participation and creation. Unfortunately, nonprofits often lack
the resources to keep pace and are being left behind in the midst
of digital transformation,” said Lindsey Kneuven, Head of Social
Impact for Pluralsight. “Through Pluralsight One and our new
products, we are equalizing opportunities to learn, and empowering
nonprofits to apply technology to innovate, disrupt, and build
agency among the populations they support.”
Pluralsight One combined best practices from the humanitarian
and development sectors with Pluralsight’s ground-breaking process
of Directed Discovery to create the new nonprofit products. The
team conducted a global needs assessment with thousands of
organizations around the world. The Pluralsight One team tested
these findings through an in-depth pilot program with 40 nonprofits
across 16 countries to co-create an offering that best fits the
needs of nonprofits and their beneficiaries. The new products will
help build capacity among nonprofits and develop the technology
skills among teams and individuals needed to build better lives and
a better future for us all.
