Oct. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Pluralsight, Inc., the technology workforce development

Pluralsight Skills' addition of hands-on learning capabilities
in high-demand technology skills such as cybersecurity, IT ops, and
software development complements the platform's extensive library
of on-demand video content from the world's top tech instructors.
Hands-on learning is a critical component to any effective skills
development platform and strategy. Knowledge retention and
application from hands-on learning experiences is dramatically
improved over alternative learning modalities, and the combination
of both hands-on and on-demand skill development techniques gives
enterprises the tools they need to effectively develop technology
skills at scale.
"The most successful enterprise organizations have a structured
approach to skill development that includes a combination of
hands-on, on-demand, and instructor-led training, live or virtual.
This expansion of hands-on learning capabilities enables our
customers to more effectively develop their tech talent at scale
and ensure that they have the skills inventory to complete their
most pressing technology projects in an effective and cost
efficient manner," said Gary
Eimerman, GM of Skills, Pluralsight.
As enterprises work to tackle new technology advancements and
ways of working following the onset of the 2020 pandemic, skills
gaps have widened in critical technology areas such as cloud
computing, data, cybersecurity, AI, and machine learning. In
Pluralsight's recent State of Upskilling report, technology
professionals stated that their confidence to do their current jobs
(down 13%) as well as their capacity to do their jobs in the next
three years (down 8%) both decreased from a year ago.
With the introduction of these new labs, Pluralsight Skills now
offers more than 900 lab-based hands-on learning experiences for
technologists looking to close skills gaps and stay ahead of the
rapid pace of change for today's technologies. These hands-on
learning opportunities include:
- 772 labs for cloud computing
- 21 labs for software development
- 63 labs for cybersecurity
- 44 labs for IT ops
A More Clear Path For Certifications
In addition to
its expansion of hands-on learning experiences, Pluralsight is
introducing a new tech certification landscape within Pluralsight
Skills called the Certification Prep Center. This new experience
enables learners to survey more than 130 certification prep paths
offered within Pluralsight Skills and get clear step-by-step
guidance on how to develop the necessary skills to pass the
certification exams.
