Pluralsight and Google Cloud Partner to Expand Cloud Skill Development
April 09 2019 - 1:30PM
Pluralsight, Inc. (NASDAQ: PS), the enterprise technology skills
platform, today announced a new partnership with Google Cloud to
provide enterprise companies an on-demand, role-based approach to
skill development on Google Cloud technologies. Already partnering
to reskill developers in India and Africa, the companies are now
joining forces to increase Google Cloud expertise worldwide.
“Google Cloud’s suite of products and services are critical to
companies across all industries around the world,” said Nate
Walkingshaw, chief experience officer at Pluralsight. “With
companies increasingly turning to Google Cloud to manage their
businesses, they need to empower their teams to develop the skills
necessary to make the best use of Google Cloud. As partners, we can
ensure Google Cloud customers are putting their best foot forward
to leverage Google Cloud technologies and thrive in a cloud-based
environment using the Pluralsight platform.”
Through the partnership, Pluralsight will grow its Google Cloud
course collection by adding more than 50 Google Cloud-authored
courses to its library of expert-authored courses on the
Pluralsight platform. In addition, Pluralsight and Google Cloud
plan to create Google Cloud Role IQs to provide technology
professionals with an efficient and clear way to measure their
expertise level across the skills they need to be successful in
their roles. Through analytics, CIOs and CTOs will then be able to
see their teams’ technical abilities on Google Cloud technologies
to ensure they have the right people on the right projects.
Companies are moving to the cloud because it offers the agility
they need to compete in a fast-moving, rapidly changing customer
environment. In fact, 77 percent of IT and business decision makers
say they will use cloud for a majority of their needs by 2029.
Gartner predicts public cloud revenue will reach nearly $280
billion by 2021. The rapid growth in cloud computing is equally
driving an intense demand for cloud talent. According to an Indeed
survey, Google Cloud is the skill that is seeing the
fastest-growing demand in job listings with a 66.74% increase over
the past year.
“As adoption of cloud technologies accelerates across
industries, companies increasingly face shortages in relevant cloud
skills. Pluralsight has worked to address these shortages and
provide timely and relevant courses to its immense network of
enterprise customers,” said Jason Martin, VP, Professional
Services, Training, and Support, Google Cloud. “Our new partnership
with Pluralsight will provide enterprises with a role-based,
measurable approach to skill development. This approach goes one
step beyond providing training, and delivers insight into
individuals’ expertise levels, letting companies know where they
are excelling and where more professional development is
required.”
