My company loves this idea! Can we sponsor?

Sure - send us a mail and we can set up a chat!

Why is Praqma organizing this?

Here’s the thing - demand for Continuous Delivery and DevOps skills is far outstripping what is available the in the job market. In a way, we at Praqma are feeling this most acutely. We have fantastic demand for our consulting and training offerings, business has more than doubled over the last year. Meanwhile back at the ranch we are actively recruiting for open positions in all our locations.

When scheming solutions for this challenge, our first thought was obvious - we train our clients, why not train our recruits!

And it makes sense. We take training very seriously at Praqma, and understand that only by continuous learning can we deliver the best value to our clients. We invest a lot of time in experimenting with new technology, finding great development workflows, and sharing what we learn. Why not train our recruits?

But then a second thought came - instead of only training our recruits, why not train all recruits? Why not make this available to everyone looking for work, so that not only Praqma employees get these skills but all people entering the industry?
