Why would you upskill your u003cbru003epeople?
With new technologies developing at lightning speed and a challenging job market, finding and retaining the right people is a daunting task. However, there’s a shortage in skills rather than a shortage in people. That’s why 50% of all employees will have to upskill within the coming five years, World Economic Forum already warned us.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eUpskilling your employees is the best solution to bridge that skills gap.

Your SRE learning journey starts here
Implementing SRE in your organization is a team sport. A shared understanding of SRE principles and practices among your engineering team is the key to successful implementation. However, Roman was not built in a day, and similarly, developing a shared understanding of SRE principles and practices cannot be achieved through a single course. Embark on the SRE learning journey and elevate your team’s SRE skills to the next level!u0026nbsp;u0026nbsp;
Our learning journey entails a blend of training and workshops, which are designed to get teams started, from the basics to advanced concepts and masterclasses. Engineering team members can participate in customized learning journeys that fit their SRE knowledge level, while managers can build their knowledge and understanding through specialized keynotes and leadership sessions.u0026nbsp;
Craft the learning journey that perfectly fits your team
Unlock your team’s full potential with a tailor-made SRE learning plan! With five dynamic phases, this plan is designed to help your team discover areas for improvement, set ambitious goals, and embark on a customized learning journey.

“Due to my current role, the program helped me in two ways: u003cbru003eu003cbru003eFirstly, by expanding my knowledge of SRE, I can provide more valuable insights to stakeholders because I’ll be able to foresee what they need before they do. u003cbru003eu003cbru003eSecondly, the program can help me optimize my own architecture, which is something I’m always doing in between new development work. u003cbru003eu003cbru003eWhile the current architecture is mostly cloud-centric, it is very dependent on the PowerBI service. As we move to promote more queries on Azure, I want to have the best and brightest SRE principles in my mind when I start doing this.u0022
