SkillStorm, a tech talent accelerator that hires, trains, certifies and deploys IT talent in the most in-demand technologies, and Jacksonville University, northeast Florida’s top private university, today announced they will provide the country’s most comprehensive instructor-led, online advanced technology courses that include Amazon Web Services (AWS), Salesforce and Pega.

“Demand is growing exponentially for skilled cloud practitioners, with over 81,000 AWS job posts on LinkedIn alone right now. SkillStorm is partnering with select higher education institutions like Jacksonville University to offer advanced training in these high-demand technologies,” said Joe Mitchell, COO of SkillStorm. “Unlike self-paced courses, our courses inspire achievement and completion because they’re facilitated by SkillStorm’s experienced instructors under the academic direction of Jacksonville University, which has a reputation for delivering high-quality technology programs.”
Mitchell continued, “Companies want employees with a college degree plus an industry credential, which this partnership delivers. This helps elevate and distinguish college graduates in the job market. It’s about accelerating people’s ability to learn and master new skills, broaden their career opportunities and increase their earning potential. That’s the difference.”

The courses, which are part of the SkillStorm Accelerator Program, use real-world projects and simulated environments led by instructors who bring years of knowledge, practice and experience to the classroom, providing students with the necessary skills to obtain industry-recognized certifications at an affordable tuition rate. The self-driven classes offer working professionals the flexibility to attend when convenient for them, while also providing access to one-on-one mentoring and training from industry-certified instructors and opportunities to collaborate with classmates. Program graduates receive an industry certification in one of the three highly specialized, in-demand tech skills, allowing them to immediately accelerate their careers and increase their earning potential. Further, courses are completed in 4-10 weeks, less than half the time it takes with other training programs on the market. For employers, the program enables them to rapidly upskill team members in highly specialized skills, which helps with retention, professional development benefits and ultimately client delivery.
