Cognixia, a Global Digital Talent Development Company specializing in Data, Cloud, and Engineering, announced today the expansion of its partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to include AWS Training throughout the United States. Cognixia has joined the AWS Training Partner Program, which allows AWS Approved Instructors to deliver AWS-developed training around the world to strengthen cloud skills at all levels and prepare the future digital workforce.
Migration to the cloud has become commonplace for all businesses and has accelerated as a result of the pandemic. Gartner predicts that worldwide public cloud spend will rise by 18% in 2021, with 70% of organizations currently using cloud planning to increase cloud investment in the wake of COVID-19. Many companies, however, are struggling to put together teams with cloud competencies. The scarcity of talent in this field is proving to be a source of frustration for many IT executives and senior leaders.
"As cloud technologies continue to assist organizations in rapidly transforming their companies, employees with the necessary cloud skills are in high demand," said Maureen Lonergan, Director, AWS Training and Certification. "The AWS Training Partner Program is intended for organizations such as Cognixia that have a track record of developing AWS Cloud talent. Cognixia will include AWS Training as part of the initiative to help IT professionals and businesses migrate to and better use the cloud."
As an AWS Training Partner, Cognixia will:
-
Deliver the official AWS Training developed and maintained by AWS experts enabling local IT professionals and businesses to leverage the power of the AWS Cloud
-
Work with organizations across sectors and geographies to develop future-focused strategies that reinvent talent through learning experiences
-
Offer hands-on labs allowing learners to practice real-world scenarios in a sandbox environment
"Achieving AWS Training Partner status validates Cognixia's dedication to building the talent supply chain in data, cloud, and engineering to stay ahead of the technology curve," said Sunny Shah, Cognixia's Vice President of Partnership Alliances. "As an AWS Training Partner, Cognixia will be able to further strengthen its emphasis on cloud-based learning solutions and extend its global network by upskilling more IT professionals and business leaders for designing solutions using AWS."
"We understand that talent is an organization's greatest change accelerator, and we must build learning experiences that not only train them for today but also the future," Shah added.
