Elev8 joins AWS Training Partner Program to revolutionize Africa’s cloud technology sector

Elev8 education, a global leader in digital skilling and transformative education, has joined the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Training Partner program.

Elev8 will deliver cloud computing skills training developed and maintained by AWS to enterprises and learners in Nigeria and Rwanda as part of this program.

Many businesses have advanced their digital transformation plans this year, but innovation and security continue to be major challenges and priorities. Elev8 is collaborating with AWS to assist learners and companies manage and adapt to the ever-changing landscape, as well as create significant change through reskilling and upskilling personnel in response to changing job requirements.

Employees with the right cloud abilities are in great demand as cloud technologies continue to help enterprises restructure their businesses quickly. According to Global Knowledge, 90 percent of IT managers have a plan in place to solve the skills gap, with 56 percent believing that training existing employees is the best solution. Furthermore, according to ESG research, 93 percent of firms indicate that adopting AWS Certification enhances team recruiting, and 96 percent agree that certifying cloud-focused employees on AWS has helped retention (ESG 2021 report).

“As the future of work evolves, the cloud has shown to be an essential online tool,” Elemi Ani, Global Head of Solutions, Design, and Digital Transformation at elev8, said of working with AWS. Since the outbreak of the pandemic, the cloud computing sector has been rapidly growing in terms of use, infrastructure, and development. This has made it necessary to share best practices and training with our African partners and clients. We will close the gap with the help of AWS, ensuring that organizations can better how they operate, store, and access data while maintaining a high level of security.”

“Organizations need workers with cloud capabilities to help transform their business,” says Maureen Lonergan, Vice President of AWS Training and Certification. IT workers with AWS Cloud expertise are in high demand. AWS Training and Certification, in collaboration with AWS Training Partners like elev8, strives to empower today’s and tomorrow’s builders with the knowledge they need to exploit the AWS Cloud’s capabilities. AWS Training, created by AWS professionals, offers in-demand cloud skills and best practices while also preparing learners for AWS Certification tests, allowing them to progress their careers and transform their businesses.”
