There is a growing tech skills shortage in the Public Sector, with emerging technologies like AI creating a significant skills gap. Forty three percent of Federal IT leaders have had an AI program fail in the last year due to lack of in-house expertise. Cybersecurity is also a major concern for leaders in the Federal space. The current variety and intensity of cyber attacks pose a significant threat for Government infrastructures which makes continuous technology training crucial for Federal workers.
“With Pluralsight’s software readily accessible, Federal agency employees will gain the tools and skills necessary to navigate today’s most advanced technology platforms,” said Tiffany Goddard, Program Executive for Customer Experience & Engagement Solutions at Carahsoft. “We look forward to collaborating with Pluralsight and our reseller partners to bridge the tech skills gap and empower Federal employees to create innovative solutions for technology challenges.”
Pluralsight’s software is available through Carahsoft’s SEWP V contracts NNG15SC03B and NNG15SC27B, ITES-SW2 Contract W52P1J-20-D-0042, NASPO ValuePoint Master Agreement #AR2472 and OMNIA Partners Contract #R191902.
