In 2023 retraining courses for Software Testing Engineers doubled the number of engaged learners that reduced the waiting period for requestors by 50% due to three new self-paced long term retraining courses.
In 2023 we were focused on development of Advanced Technologies, in particular Big Data, Data Science competencies with the emphasis on AI.
Within the Big Data competency, we consistently enhance our company-wide retraining programs, ensuring an effective learning journey for associates. These programs not only address retraining needs but also focus on upskilling in specific Big Data areas and fostering self-development simultaneously.
To provide our associates with more possibilities to gain Big Data competency in close cooperation with SMEs from Big Data Group we designed 5 new self-paced learning solutions focused on deep dive into main Big Data technologies, namely Python Core Learning Path for Big Data, Apache Spark Learning Path for Big Data, SQL Beginner level Learning Path for Big Data, Database and DWH Developer Learning Path for Big Data, Airflow Learning Path for Big Data.
As a part of Big Data Retraining programs in 2023 we premiered with the redesigned practical workshops for BI retraining program for Big Data, aimed to empower participants to gain practical skills and solve project-related tasks to be comprehensively retrained into Big data profile.
Within Data Science competency, the main focus in 2023 was on development learning solutions on AI technologies, ensuring participants are well-equipped to innovate and lead in the rapidly evolving AI landscape. In close cooperation with the Data Science group in 2023 we launched the Generative AI Learning solution.
Additionally, we launched the Amazon Bedrock Ramp-up program, designed to provide an in-depth, practical understanding of how to leverage Amazon Bedrock and associated technologies for creating advanced Generative AI solutions.
In 2023 we launched Foundation Tier, which includes 4 complex self-paced learning solutions for different TA: software developers, data scientists, ML engineers, architects and business stakeholders.
One more achievement in cooperation with the Data Science Group in 2023 was the launch of video-course AI Elements: Video Learning Journey - a comprehensive curriculum with 6 parts of video course with presentations. The AI Elements course provides a solid understanding of AI's role in business and makes an intro into the AI & ML technology world for the broad audience.
In 2023 we launched 3 customized retrainings on different topics. All customized retrainings in 2023 were organized in a blended learning approach combining Udemy Business learning courses + sessions with trainers.
Team had a need to be retrained on Go since there was a change of main programming language on the project. The retraining was organized in a blended-learning format that combined self-learning materials and Q&A sessions with a trainer.
Developers from Reserve in Romania had to be retrained to React to be staffed for new projects. During 2 months of blended learning associates gained all the needed theoretical knowledge and practical skills and successfully conducted a demo-session of their own React application.
Team of Java developers is being retrained on .Net in a format of blended learning.
Throughout the year, we conducted extensive retraining, covering programming languages like C#, Python, Java, and JavaScript, and utilizing Postman for API testing. Special emphasis was on adapting personnel during the QC to TA transition, enhancing skills, and expanding knowledge in test automation.
