DCProfessional Development announces Data Centre Alliance Corporate Partnership
60% of data center operators have shared concerns about an industry-wide skills shortage. By becoming a Corporate Partner, DCProfessional hopes to work collaboratively with the Data Centre Alliance to address the skills gap that exists in the data center industry today.
DCProfessional Development is a leading provider of mission critical learning and development solutions to the data centre industry. Drawing from the expertise of a network of some of the most experienced data center professionals and domain experts they have developed a suite of classroom and online courses that are used by world leading organizations such as IBM, Vodafone, RBS, Microsoft and many more.
Managing Director, Jason Velody said “Our partnership with the Data Centre Alliance directly contributes to our vision which is to provide the global data center community with the best informed, most coherent and most accessible learning and development services in the industry.
“As part of this partnership we will be offering a 20% discount to all DCA members, on any DCProfessional online or classroom course.
“We are looking forward to working with the Data Centre Alliance towards our common goal – to address the massive skills shortage that exists in the global data center industry.”
The shared values of the DCA and DCProfessional Development make this a perfect partnership.
Simon Campbell-Whyte, Executive Director of the DCA agrees. “Digital economies around the world and the fabric of society itself increasingly rely on properly managed data centres. Therefore training that provides the skills, expertise and promotes the culture of “critical thinking” such as the courses provided by DC Professional are essential.
“Building collaborative industry led common frameworks and linkages between standards, academia, education and most importantly the training sector, is a key role of the DCA. We are therefore delighted to have the strength of DC Professional on board as a DCA Partner Member.”
