Additional operational centres will follow in Brisbane, Melbourne and Canberra to support the company’s growth in Australia and New Zealand.
According to IBIS World, the online education market in A/NZ has experienced annual growth of 14 per cent from 2009 to 2015 and the Australian Government has predicted a growth in the demand for technology-focused roles of 13 per cent in the next three years.
Pluralsight chief executive and co-founder, Aaron Skonnard, said the US training company's expansion throughout A/NZ supports the tremendous technology boom seen in the region.
“Technology is constantly evolving and companies are seeking solutions to help train and retain their employees. We are thrilled to have a local team that can assist A/NZ organisations with their continuous learning and development needs,” he said.
As part of Pluralsight’s growth strategy, the company made a series of acquisitions in the past 12 months including Code School, a learn-to-code platform used by more than 1.3 million people; Smarterer, a tool for assessing a user's technical ability quickly and in relation to his or her peers; and HackHands, an online mentoring platform for programmers.
