University of Phoenix Expands Tech Skill Development with Pluralsight
March 30 2020 - 11:19AM
Pluralsight, Inc. (NASDAQ: PS), the technology skills platform,
today announced an expansion of its agreement with University of
Phoenix that will double the number of Pluralsight licenses the
academic institution uses to help prepare students to pursue
careers in technology.
“We’re delighted to work with Pluralsight and expand student
access to its tech skills tools,” said John Woods, provost,
University of Phoenix. “Whether your career goals are information
technology, business, or any profession today, technology will play
a pivotal role. We want our students to be well prepared for the
future of work.”
Presently, University of Phoenix deploys the majority of its
Pluralsight licenses to students in the College of Information
Systems and Technology. With its account expansion, the university
is embedding Pluralsight into every course taught in the College,
including Skill IQ and Role IQ assessments as part of the
curriculum to validate student learning.
“University of Phoenix is investing in resources to expand its
technology curriculum because they understand that whether a
student pursues a career as a technology professional or not,
understanding technology is now a must for today’s workers,” said
Ross Meyercord, Chief Revenue Officer of Pluralsight. “Pluralsight
has long been aligned with University of Phoenix and with this
expansion we are further solidifying our relationship to support
the technology skill development of its students.”
Recognizing the pervasiveness of technology in all professions,
and the importance of students in non-technical roles being
digitally literate, University of Phoenix also plans to expand
Pluralsight to other colleges within the university. Additionally,
Pluralsight may be deployed to some university employees to support
enterprise technology strategies.
