Pluralsight, Inc., the globally renowned provider of enterprise technology skills platform, has announced that it is partnering with the United States Air Force (USAF) to power its Digital U learning programme.
Digital U learning programme
The US Air Force’s Digital U learning programme is designed to help US airmen across the service, develop skills in core technology topics, such as software development, Artificial Intelligence (AI), machine learning, and cyber security. US 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 US Air Force is focusing on investing in our digital airmen, in order to ensure that they have the ability to build the technical competence needed to complete our mission,” said Lt. Peyton Cleveland of United States Air Force (USAF).
Pluralsight offers access to thousands of technology courses
With Pluralsight, Air Force Digital U participants have access to more than 7,000 technology courses
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, cyber security, and software development.
This partnership will give US 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.
Customised learning paths to develop new tech skills
As part of the programme, Pluralsight is creating customised 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 customised recommendations for learning opportunities to take their skills to the next level.
Lauren Knausenberger, the Chief Transformation Officer (CTO) of the United States Air Force (USAF), “We see Pluralsight as a valuable strategic partner in helping our Digital U programme deliver skills development training for state-of-the-art technologies that support us in our mission.”
Leveraging Skill IQ assessments to track progress
Lauren Knausenberger adds, “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.”
We are proud to partner with the US Air Force in their efforts to help airmen develop the critical technology skills they need"
Aaron Skonnard, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at Pluralsight, Inc., said “With the rapid pace of technological innovation, there has never been a more critical time for organisations 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 US Air Force in their efforts to help airmen develop the critical technology skills they need, to accomplish their mission.”
Skills platform offers on-demand access
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 programme across multiple regions was especially valuable to the US Air Force.
MSgt. James ‘Guideaux’ Crocker, BESPIN CTO - United States Air Force (USAF), said “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.”
James ‘Guideaux’ Crocker adds, “This model is designed to grow as the battlefield need grows and not constrained by position, rank or US Air Force awarded skill level.”
