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.”
