The demand for cloud talent is rising as the reach of transformative cloud technologies continues to grow. In turn, this increases pressure on human resources (HR) to successfully recruit, retain, and reskill top industry talent. This post details the impact of AWS training on AWS Partner organizations, ranging from improved business outcomes to increased job satisfaction among your employees, and how you can inspire your team to participate in training and earn certifications.

We are excited to introduce new AWS GameDay partner benefits for AWS Partners in several of our differentiation programs. AWS GameDay League is made up of teams from global partner companies who compete against each other in hands-on technical challenges to build new cloud skills capabilities and have fun while doing so.

With more and more businesses investing in cloud products and solutions, the time to power a sustainable cloud practice is now.

Learn why ePlus, an AWS Advanced Consulting Partner that moves organizations to the cloud, participated in AWS GameDay—a collaborative learning exercise that tests skills in implementing AWS solutions in a gamified, risk-free environment.

Digital transformation is the process of evolving from rigid, legacy platforms to a modern IT environment equipped to rapidly adjust to changing business and customer needs. Ultimately, this is driven by two things: technology and people. Whether you are just getting started with your cloud journey, or looking to operationalize your organization’s cloud education initiatives, AWS Training and Certification can help support AWS Partners along the way.

The amount of time invested in achieving an AWS Certification is no small feat. It’s important for individuals to get recognized for this hard work. Since November 2019, AWS Partners have been able to record the AWS Certifications achieved by employees in their organization, but individuals who work for AWS Partners must provide consent for this information to be shared with their employer. Doing so can provide significant growth opportunities for both the individual and APN Partner organization.
