Hilversum, Netherlands – December 6, 2022 — Xebia Academy, a global IT training and upskilling company, today announced it has partnered with technology workforce development company Pluralsight.

Together, the companies are offering clients from all over the world a unique blended-learning experience by combining Xebia Academy’s live – virtual and physical – instructor-led classroom training with Pluralsight’s online and on-demand technology learning solutions. Xebia Academy customers can now add custom content to their learning journey from Pluralsight Skills, enabling them to build skills in specialized technology roles, including Security, Cloud, Data Analytics, and Machine Learning.

With this partnership, Xebia Academy expects to deliver solutions that help organizations build technical expertise while managing the necessary development needs of their diverse teams. In addition to the expert-led classes offered by Xebia Academy trainers, customers can now access a deep and broad learning experience on Pluralsight Skills through a selection of high-quality technical content to upskill or reskill their workforce.

“By teaming up with Pluralsight, we can now offer a full blended learning experience to our customers,” said Jurriaan Bernson, Director at Xebia Academy. “Pluralsight is a leader in online and on-demand learning for technology skills, and we’re proud that we now serve as a one-stop learning and development shop for our customers. And with all tech skills largely overlapping each other, customers can complement our instructor-led classes with online learning.”

Xebia Academy and Pluralsight have partnered with the aim of addressing the global tech skills shortage, which continues to expand. Research shows that the global tech skills shortage is anticipated to affect more than 85 million people, representing an estimated $8.5 trillion in lost annual revenue by 2030.
