CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Pegasystems
Inc. (NASDAQ: PEGA), the software company empowering digital
transformation at the world's leading enterprises, today announced
the launch of its all-new Pega Academy to help clients and partners
more rapidly gain and advance Pega software skills. From
complete novices to advanced Lead System Architects, anyone can
easily learn, expand, and refresh valuable Pega skills to help
their organizations deliver true digital transformation.
Named one of the 10 hottest tech skills in 2019, clients and
partners are turning to Pega in record numbers to gain proficiency
in Pega's industry-leading low-code, cloud-based customer
engagement, customer service, and intelligent automation solutions.
To make learning journeys faster, easier, and more engaging, the
all-new Pega Academy provides a curated, modular learning
experience that avoids the pitfalls of traditional coursework
and rigid learning paths. After choosing their learning objective
or "Mission," participants embark on a customized learning journey
based on their individual goals. Learners complete a series of
topic "modules" and apply learnings in a final challenge.
Auto-graded challenges provide instant results so users can quickly
apply their skills and market their new certifications.
Learning doesn't stop once a badge is earned. Pega Academy
fosters continued learning so developers can easily update their
skills as new career opportunities arise or when new Pega solutions
come to market. This new learning environment intuitively applies
users' existing skills to new courses so they don't need to repeat
work they've previously completed. Instead of lengthy
recertification processes forced by most traditional training
courses, Pega Academy participants can go straight to the targeted
content they want to learn based on their existing badges,
certifications, and goals.
This new learning approach benefits newcomers to Pega,
experienced Pega professionals, and university students in unique
ways:
- Newcomers – For those new to Pega, learning journeys are
presented based on how developers and their organizations
self-identify their needs. The learning experience presents
scenarios developers typically face and maps them to the
appropriate Pega technology. This helps newcomers easily understand
how to apply their newfound Pega skills in a real-world
context.
- Experienced Pega professionals – Advanced users save
time with Pega Academy's new customizable learning paths, so they
can focus on the specific skills they need right now and avoid full
certification paths that retrain them on skills they already have.
The badging system allows employers to quickly identify individuals
with the skills required to complete unique Pega projects.
- University students – With no technical experience
required, any college or university student can learn in-demand
Pega skills to increase their career prospects after graduation.
Students can immediately earn badges by completing Missions through
curated learning experiences based on their areas of interest.
Starting now, developers of all skill levels can begin
self-directed learning in this new environment at no cost to gain
highly marketable, in-demand skills and future-proof their careers.
