MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Nov. 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Udacity, the digital talent transformation platform, today announced the availability of its Train-to-Hire Program in AWS Marketplace, a digital catalog with thousands of software listings from independent software vendors that make it easy to find, test, buy, and deploy software that runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS). With the addition of this program, AWS customers can now address technical talent gaps in their organizations by working with Udacity to create customizable, hands-on learning programs that attract and upskill net-new sources of talent. Through these Train-to-Hire Programs, AWS customers can transform the breadth and depth of their talent pipelines, lowering recruiting costs for in-demand roles and improving the diversity of their workforce by offering new opportunities to candidates from underrepresented communities.

"That is why our clients have seen success with Udacity's Train-to-Hire Programs now available in AWS Marketplace. Our unique approach has allowed them to not only address their technical talent pipeline constraints, but do it in a way that is equitable and drives real societal impact for underrepresented communities."

1. Build: Udacity partners with an organization to select a program that develops the right competencies to fill their talent pipeline and diversity gaps.
2. Promote: Udacity collaborates with you to globally market your program to diverse candidates with the greatest potential.
