Inc. (NASDAQ: PEGA), the software company empowering customer
engagement at the world's leading enterprises, today announced it
is extending its free online training offering through June 2018 to accommodate increased industry
adoption of Pega software.
Available through Pega Academy, the official Pegasystems
training resource, these courses enable individuals to continue
expanding their skillsets to meet evolving client needs. Courses
can also be accessed through the new World Economic Forum SkillSET
portal, a platform that will provide training and resource
opportunities as part of an IT Industry Skills initiative to meet
the global skills gap challenge and address job displacement.
As digital transformation continues to be a top priority at the
world's largest organizations, many are adopting Pega's unique
model-driven approach to application development and seeking
skilled individuals to implement Pega projects. These skills are in

50 top-paying IT certifications for 2017, according to
Certification Magazine. To support the expansion of its ecosystem,
Pega is extending the availability of more than 200 free training
courses in the critical areas of artificial intelligence (AI),
robotics, mobile, CRM, and no-code application development.
In 2017, Pega's active certified ecosystem grew by 40 percent.
Almost 60,000 new students enrolled in Pega Academy training
courses since they were made free last June at PegaWorld 2017.
Those enrolled also have access to the Pega Discovery Network
(PDN), a Pega community that serves as a central hub for
