Therefore, In2clouds faces the challenge of maintaining a highly skilled workforce that can consistently deliver outstanding results in all its regions.
In its quest to continually innovate through unique talent acquisition, In2clouds discovered the benefits and advantages of hiring employees who had completed AWS re/Start, a digital upskilling program delivered by Elev8. AWS re/Start is a free-to-the-learner, cohort-based workforce development training program that helps unemployed and underemployed individuals build cloud computing skills and launch cloud careers.
While the company has hired graduates from several collaborating organizations across different nations, their most substantial partnership is with Elev8 in Costa Rica.
