Udemy for Business was selected to further advance the digital skills of the United States Air Force.
Airmen now have unlimited access to an extensive library of courses under Udemy for Business, the corporate product of Udemy. The content can be accessed through Digital University, a new BESPIN and USAF initiative, that invests in the digital modernization of the USAF. Digital University is a critical initiative of the Air Force’s broader “Digital Air Force” strategy, which kicked off in early 2020. The primary focus of this strategy is to consolidate and advance Air Force IT systems while creating better data efficiencies across the entire organization.

“At a time of accelerated digital transformation, we are committed to nurturing innovation and delivering the best possible training to our Airmen,” said BESPIN chief technology officer MSgt James “Guideaux” Crocker. “With Digital University, we are able to democratize technical training across the Air Force and we are already seeing impressive results as Airmen gain the necessary skills to meet our digital modernization and growth needs.”
BESPIN selected Udemy for Business because of the depth and breadth of the technical content on the platform and the ability to fully support the USAF’s IT modernization and digital transformation efforts. Udemy for Business continuously updates and curates course content in real-time, which is a critical differentiator for IT Airmen who need to enhance skills on the latest technologies. The content is also aligned with priority disciplines at the USAF. The Udemy for Business platform has over 4,000 hand-curated courses created by expert practitioners who constantly update and optimize their content with industry best practices.
