Professional Development

Keeping pace and staying ahead is a top priority for tech-first organizations. That’s why upskilling (enhancing existing skills) and reskilling (learning a new, yet related skill) your internal tech talent is a must.

By continuously upskilling and reskilling your technologists, innovators, and builders, staying ahead of the latest technology curve becomes a reality. 

Our Commitment to Professional Development

For decades, our team has been driven by helping developers decrease their skill gaps and increase their new skill knowledge. Your engineering team needs to be real-time tech-ready, rather than scrambling to catch up and falling behind.

Becoming tech-ready is more than just deploying a single professional development course or an underutilized self-paced learning library. There has to be a strategy, a learning plan, and support to ensure your engineers get the skills the business needs. Strategically deploying upskilling and reskilling programs enables you to pivot to new technologies without losing a beat. Here’s how:

Culture of Continuous Learning

It’s not just about keeping up – it’s about leading. Our expert-led programs create an environment where your employees are constantly upskilling, ensuring they’re always one step ahead of industry changes.

Innovating Through Collaboration

True transformation happens together. Our tailored solutions foster collaboration across teams and departments, unlocking creative potential and pushing innovation to new levels.

Data that Drives True Results

We don’t leave anything to guesswork. From identifying gaps to measuring progress, we use data at every step to make sure your workforce transformation delivers real, bottom-line impact.

Case Study: Upskilling a Global Financial Services Brand

BACKGROUND

A global financial services company needed a new approach to boost engineer engagement and retention.

The team faced 3 main challenges: low engagement with full-day courses, Pluralsight usage was low despite full subscriptions, and L&D leaders were hindered by high customization fees. They knew they needed a customized solution.

OUR PROCESS

In collaboration with our L&D team, we identified the highest-demand courses and redesigned three key ones using our methodology. We created custom half-day sessions over two weeks, with live trainers, labs, and Pluralsight integration for post-class work. A pilot program for 20 developers included an assessment to measure knowledge gain and demonstrate ROI to leadership.

The pilot program increased knowledge gain by 25%. Student comments confirmed this was due to the more flexible schedule of ½ days that led to fewer work distractions and more time to digest the materials learned. 

Case Study: Reskilling a Global Insurance Organization

BACKGROUND

A Fortune 100 insurance company needed to increase developer efficiency through Agile alignment.
They faced several challenges, including a small L&D team, inconsistent Agile practices, and lack of executive support, with high certification costs and underused Pluralsight licenses.

OUR PROCESS

We worked with the client's SMEs to create a tailored framework for specific roles and business units. A pilot program was launched with custom assessments to demonstrate ROI, using Pluralsight for baseline knowledge. Our team also designed 4-hour workshops to enhance collaboration and engagement..

These workshops culminated in capstone projects that further reinforced learning and the client established a successful internal Agile program, increasing company-wide efficiency by 62% in the first year.

Key Benefits of Professional Development Programs

Retain top technical talent

Most developers value continuous growth over salary (2024 StackOverflow survey shows learning is their top job benefit). If your organization doesn't offer ongoing development opportunities, you risk losing them.

Boost innovation

Engage in a future-focused program by upskilling & reskilling. Employees will explore new applications with the right professional development programs

Increase employee engagement

No one wants to feel they are in a dead-end job with no room for growth. When you upskill and reskill employees, you re-energize their passion and sense of purpose. And when developers are truly engaged, bottom-line growth skyrockets.

Accelerate tech progress

Tapping a reservoir of internal talent can help your organization pivot more quickly. Technology is evolving so rapidly that employers need to be creative to stay ahead of technology change and remain competitive. 

Increased talent pool

Offering custom development programs can attract top talent by positioning your company as a place for engineers to grow. An engaging program supports continuous growth.

Reduce hiring costs

When it comes to new technology adoption, reskilling internal developers can lower recruitment and onboarding expenses by up to 50%, as you avoid the cost of sourcing and training new hires. And help your bottom line.
