SkillStorm, a leader in technology talent development deploying specialized teams of custom trained US tech talent to its Fortune 500 clients, announced it has acquired Talent Path, a Hire-Train-Deploy company backed by Achieve Partners.  Simultaneously, Achieve is making a strategic investment in SkillStorm.

SkillStorm provides a range of pathways for college graduates, transitioning service members and veterans to launch tech careers, including apprenticeship programs.
