August 19 2020 - 6:00AM
Pluralsight, Inc. (NASDAQ: PS), the enterprise technology skills
platform, today announced that it is partnering with the United
States Air Force to power its Digital U learning program. The Air
Force’s Digital U program is designed to help Airmen across the
service develop skills in core technology topics such as software
development, artificial intelligence/machine learning, and
cybersecurity. Airmen have access to more than 7,000 courses in a
variety of technical areas.
“Tomorrow’s battlefield is increasingly dependent on technology,
and the Air Force is focusing on investing in our digital Airmen to
ensure that they have the ability to build the technical competence
needed to complete our mission,” said Lt. Peyton Cleveland, United
States Air Force.
With Pluralsight, Air Force Digital U participants have access
to more than 7,000 technology courses taught by the top experts in
fields such as machine learning and AI, cloud computing,
cybersecurity, and software development. This partnership will give
Airmen across the service - including those working within high
profile Air Force technology labs and projects including BESPIN,
AFWERX, Kessel Run, and Level Up - the ability to accelerate their
skill development in the latest technologies.
As part of the program, Pluralsight is creating customized
learning paths to help airmen accelerate their ability to develop
new tech skills. Additionally, airmen will have access to
Pluralsight’s Role IQ functionality, enabling them to measure
proficiency and knowledge for relevant skills within their roles.
Role IQ allows users to discover skills gaps and receive customized
recommendations for learning opportunities to take their skills to
the next level.
“We see Pluralsight as a valuable strategic partner in helping
our Digital U program deliver skills development training for
state-of-the-art technologies that support us in our mission,” said
Lauren Knausenberger, Chief Transformation Officer, United States
Air Force. “With Pluralsight, not only do our airmen have access to
high quality and up to date technology content, they can also
leverage Skill IQ assessments to track progress in their skill
development and map out a faster path for learning.”
“With the rapid pace of technological innovation, there has
never been a more critical time for organizations to focus on tech
skills development. Pluralsight delivers classes from elite
instructors on the latest technologies along with enhanced features
such as hands-on learning and Skill IQ learning assessments to
deliver the fastest path for technology skills development. We are
proud to partner with the Air Force in their efforts to help Airmen
develop the critical technology skills they need to accomplish
their mission,” said Aaron Skonnard, CEO, Pluralsight.
Pluralsight’s Skills platform delivers on-demand access across
multiple platforms for learning and skill development at any time
and in any location. The ability to scale a widespread skill
development program across multiple regions was especially valuable
to the Air Force.
“With Airmen constantly on the move around the globe, it’s
critically important that we can train anyone from anywhere. With
Pluralsight, our Airmen will have anytime access to best-in-class
tech skills training, regardless of where they are stationed,”
said, MSgt James “Guideaux” Crocker, BESPIN CTO, United States Air
Force. “This model is designed to grow as the battlefield need
grows and not constrained by position, rank or Air Force awarded
skill level.”
