JACKSONVILLE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SkillStorm, a tech talent accelerator that hires, trains, certifies and deploys IT talent in the most in-demand technologies, announced today a training partnership with Pegasystems Inc. (NASDAQ: PEGA), the software company empowering digital transformation at the world's leading enterprises. As an Authorized Workforce Development and Training Partner, SkillStorm will hire, train and deploy over 350 Pega-certified professionals in 2021. Sixty percent will hold a secret clearance or above to support a growing demand for Pega talent in federal, state and local government agencies.
"Pega developer talent is in high demand around the world as businesses accelerate digital transformation initiatives to meet their customer and employee needs," said Carola Cazenave, Vice President, global partner ecosystem, Pegasystems.

"SkillStorm has been a leading provider of Pega talent in North America since 2019. The partnership reinforces our commitment to continue building a community of Pega talent with all the required skills and clearances for clients in any industry, especially those with high security needs such as the U.S. government and financial services, communications, healthcare and manufacturing," said Justin Vianello, Chief Executive Officer, SkillStorm. "What we also offer our clients is the assurance that SkillStorm's talent is trained and deployed by the best in the business under the tutelage of a highly respected Pega professional, Senior Vice President David Donelan, who led Pega's worldwide training initiative before joining SkillStorm."
SkillStorm custom trains entire teams for client-specific needs, from novice Certified System Architects to more experienced Certified Senior System Architects. Depending on client requirements, the company will also train in Pega-specialty skills such as robotics, business architecture and decisioning. SkillStorm largely recruits its talent from an untapped domestic pool that includes veterans, which is beneficial for government clearance requirements, and recent college graduates with or without a computer science background. It also prioritizes candidates from under-represented communities such as first-generation college graduates, minorities and women.
