Let’s be honest — upskilling your tech team isn’t easy.
There’s pressure to stay ahead of emerging technologies. Your developers, data analysts and IT specialists are busy keeping systems running and projects shipping. Time is tight. Budgets are tighter. And generic training platforms just don’t cut it for technical teams who need real skills, fast.
So, how are forward-thinking businesses getting it right?
They’re changing the way they think about learning.
The problem with most tech training
A lot of technical training still falls into two camps: it’s either too passive (watch videos, tick a box), or too complex to implement (custom programmes that take months to set up).
Neither works for small and medium businesses that need upskilling to be hands-on, high-impact, and ready-to-go.
What’s working instead?
Smart SMBs are turning to platforms like Skillsoft Codecademy for Teams — paired with business and leadership learning from Essentials Plus — to deliver fast, focused development for their tech teams.
Here’s what they’re doing differently:
- They make learning interactive. Skillsoft Codecademy teaches by doing — learners code in-browser, build projects, and get real-time feedback.
- They focus on role-relevant skills. Whether it’s Python, AI, cloud, or cybersecurity, teams learn what they actually need — no filler.
- They integrate business skills too. With Essentials Plus, they’re adding communication, problem-solving and leadership learning that helps IT teams work better with the business.
- They keep it simple. No custom builds, no heavy admin. Just launch, learn, and track progress.
Why it matters for workforce readiness
In a world where tech evolves faster than job specs, readiness means more than hiring a few good coders. It means building a culture where your people learn constantly, apply what they learn quickly, and grow into roles that didn’t even exist last year.
It means closing the skills gap in tech… and the collaboration gap between IT and the rest of your business.
And for SMBs that can’t afford to get left behind, it’s not just a nice-to-have — it’s a competitive edge.
Don’t let your teams stay thirsty for skills.
With Skillsoft Codecademy you can deliver learning that’s targeted, scalable and built for real-world impact. Ready to upskill your tech team — without slowing down delivery?
