Scaling Cloud Training Programs for Government Teams



What do leading public sector organizations have in common that sets them apart from the rest? They transformed into digital enterprises built on modern applications and multiple clouds. Reinventing an org in that fashion doesn’t come easy. The key to this evolution is to upskill and invest in your current talent, first.

  • Creating an internal cloud culture to attract talent

  • Tips for onboarding / mentoring new talent and college graduates

  • Outcomes related to building internal talent

  • And much more
