Pluralsight Launches Cloud Ready to Bridge Enterprise Cloud Skills Gap
Event summary
- Pluralsight launched Cloud Ready, an enterprise upskilling program designed to help organizations close cloud skills gaps and prepare for AI at scale.
- The program combines skill assessments, guided learning paths, certification preparation, instructor-led training, hands-on labs, and cloud and AI sandboxes.
- Only 14% of organizations currently have the maturity to support AI effectively, according to Pluralsight.

The program aims to address this gap by providing a structured, end-to-end approach to assess current capabilities, build critical cloud skills, and validate progress. This aligns with broader industry trends where organizations are increasingly recognizing the need for cloud-ready teams to support AI initiatives.
